Referring to the escalation of differences between the PKK and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) over Shingal, Alaa Barakat, an independent Syrian Kurdish politician told KurdPress that: "There are two issues. First, who said to the PKK to go to Shingal and who took them to Shingal? Second, who says that the PKK has the right to interfere in the affairs of Shingal while they have to be active in Turkey Kurdistan?

He continued: "The people of Shingal have the right to a peaceful life and no one can force them to do other things. This nation suffered a lot with the arrival of ISIS and it is not going to be freed from the ISIS and go under the control of the PKK."

"It is the right of the Peshmerga forces and the Yazidi people to go to Shingal and defend their land and people, no one can assign tasks to them," the politician said.

"Whether the two sides would reach an agreement or not, we should look at the past. The two sides had previously negotiated in the mediation of Massoud Barzani, but did not reach a conclusion,” Alaa Barakat said earlier about the talks between the Syrian Kurdish movements on the axis of unity.

The independent Syrian Kurdish politician added: "In the previous period, these talks were held in the shadow of the Kurdish movements and their own brothers, but to no avail. Now, foreign countries such as the United States and France have entered into the field and I do not think they will reach an agreement."

Regarding the role of the United States and Russia in involving the Kurds in the Syrian political process, Alaa Barakat said: "I think neither the United States nor Russia will seek the rights and benefits of the Kurds, because the Kurdish political movements are divided into several groups and pursue several different interests."

He added: "Each of these movements is connected to a place and this multiplicity hurdles a single attempt to reach a comprehensive agreement."

The independent Syrian Kurdish politician stressed: "Multiplicity and the existence of many political parties and movements have blocked the way to a right and fateful decision."
