Suleiman Jaafar, chairman of the Afrin Canton Legislative Council (an administrative department in the Kurds self-ruling system), told Kurdpress about the position of Kurdish forces towards Afrin's situation that "we support all military operations that are aimed at expelling Turkish forces and militias from Syrian territory.”

He continued that the Canton of Afrin supports any agreement with any side that aims at liberating the city of Afrin, the capital of the canton, and pushing out Turkish forces from Syrian territory, as well as the return of all refugees to their areas.

The senior official in Afrin Canton said about the possibility of YPG (the armed wing of the Kurdish-led SDF) participation in any operations that aim at destroying Turkish forces and militias in other areas of Syria that military affairs are decided by the leaders of the SDF council, but “we support any operation that aims to liberate Afrin.”

Referring to the Russian game with Turkey, he explained that “Russia got what it wanted. it sold its missile system, crossed gas pipelines through Turkey and now it follows its own interests and takes revenge for the killing of its ambassador to Turkey, as well as the crash of its shot plane by Turkey last year.
