US green light allows Turkey to attack Syrian Kurdistan: party official

Kobani and Ain Issa are two Kurdish cities in northern Syria. The latter is already under the control of Turkey-affiliated Syrian rebels.

"The situation of Ain Issa is dangerous, and this is after the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) did not reach an agreement," Hussein Masto, a member of the political bureau of the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Party (Al-Parti), told KurdPress in an interview, about the refusal of the Kurdish forces to hand over the control of the city to the Syrian army.

He continued: "These attacks are not possible without a green light of the United States on Turkey to send the jihadist forces under his command to Ain Isa, and there is probably a project in this regard that Ain Isa will be delivered to Turkey."

He added: "After Isa, it is Kobani's turn and this is a scenario for Syrian Kurdistan to be occupied by the Turkish government and jihadist groups."

Hussein Masto further said: "In a situation where all groups are mobilized against the Kurds, the Kurds need to agree on unity and confront the danger with the presence of all independent parties and groups."
