Öcalan - Islamic World News

Although Syrian Kurds, after expanding their reign over Kurdish and even Arabic areas located in East of Euphrates river called “Jazirah”, started the system of self-government under support of USA, but their relation with Syrian government was in the state not peace nor war. There were limited engagements between them for time to time but never became a full enmity.

After Erdogan boasting about east of Euphrates and announcing the operation and informing Russia and US about it, now there are news that Turkey and US reached an agreement to form a Safe Zone in north of Syria.

One of the best experts on the region, the Turkish journalist Fehim Taştekin gave me for Slate.fr a long interview on the Kurdish issue while Ankara has been launching an operation on Afrin in Syria.
