YPG General Commander: "Turkey's plans failed." (KurdishQuestion).
In a live interview with Med Nuce that was tonight, YPG General Commander Sipan Hemo gave information about the latest developments in the battle of Kobane. Hemo, who said that ISIS was continuing its attack on Kobane by bringing in reinforcements, also touched on Turkey's plans regarding the besieged town.
Below is what Sipan Hemo told Med Nuce TV:
"For the past 41 days, our fighters have been fighting heroically. The kurdish people can be proud of the resistance in Kobane. The battle now is very intense, the ISIS gangs are using everything within their means to attack Kobane. However, they are constantly being defeated and the YPG and YPJ fighters are making significant advances. The success of the resistance in Kobane is the success of the Kurdish people as a whole.
The pending arrival of the Peshmerga is a positive step
"We believe that the Peshmerga of Kurdistan should be able to defend Kurdistan everywhere. Our forces and the Peshmerga are fighting side-by-side against the ISIS gangs in Sinjar. We see their pending arrival as a good thing, and we salute them. Their arrival will be a big morale boost. Together we will rage a strong war against ISIS."
"The Turkish state has since the beginning adopted an anti-Rojava stance. Turkey has been supporting these gangs in their attacks against the Kurds. We have said this on many occasions. Now the world has openly seen this. Turkey let them through their borders, they trained them. But their plans failed miserably.
Turkey never expected Kobane to resist for this long. According to them, Kobane was going to fall, and then they were going to rebuild it. Since their expectations have not materialised, their new efforts are concentrated on evaluating the current situation. This is why they are trying to send in their groups into Kobane. If Turkey is sincere about supporting Kobane, they should support the people resisting in it." Read the full story here.
