Barakat: PYD Terrorist Militia Is Real Obstacle to Restoring Sovereignty Over All Syrian Territories

Excerpt:  “The Vice President of the Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC), Abdul Majeed Barakat, said that the PYD terrorist militia continues to commit crimes against civilians in the areas under their control. This occurs even as they claim seriousness about negotiating to lay down their arms and integrate into the ranks of the new Syrian army. In a press statement, Barakat pointed out that the ongoing crimes by the PYD militia against civilians indicate that their true intentions contradict their claims. He added that they are working to buy more time to preserve their military entity, which threatens the unity of the country and its social fabric. Barakat emphasized that this militia is a real obstacle to restoring sovereignty over all Syrian territories. He noted that their desire to maintain their military entity as a single bloc serves to commit further crimes, terrorize residents, and operate under foreign agendas.”
