The Washington administration last week put a bounty on three senior leaders of the Kurdish freedom movement, Cemil Bayik, Murat Karayilan and Duran Kalkan.
German Federal Parliament Left Party (Die Linke) MP Ulla Jelpke told ANF about the US decision that with this decision, the Trump administration declared that it stood by the Turkish state.
Remarking that the US administration did not want to mediate between the PKK and Turkey during the peace process, Ulla Jelpke said; “And now, just like in the Wild West, they put a bounty on the leading figures of Kurdish Freedom Movement and issue arrest warrants for them. This means wanting the war in Kurdistan to continue and deepen.”
The German MP added; “With this decision, we have seen that the US alliance with the YPG in Syria is only tactical, and that the US is not a friend of the Kurds and other oppressed peoples. We are faced with a merciless and egoist imperialist ruling that is only after its interests in the Middle East.”
