He told Kurdpress that the two world powers have different outlooks to the Kurds but use Kurds to achieve their interests.

Kurds’ tie with world powers is one of the most important issues in the Middle East. The issue has become more important since Syria civil war and the emergence of the Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria. Russia was the first state that opened representative office for Syrian Kurds but behaved quite differently in Turkey incursion into Afrin, a Syrian Kurdish city in the north, and allowed Turkish forces to control the city.

The U.S., another world power, announced it will not take any side in Turkey incursion in Afrin while Washington established a military base in regions under control of the Kurds, just 100 kilometers far from Afrin. The U.S. considers Kurds in Iraq as an ally but it went against the independence referendum of the Kurds and stated it would not take any side as Iraq deployed forces and took control of the Kurdish-majority province of Kirkuk in the north.

Romano and most of the professor that Kurdpress have interviewed believe both the U.S. and Russia follow the same policy towards the Kurds and use them for their own interests.
