Syrian Kurds reluctantly choose Assad over Erdogan: report
2019-01-30
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Kurds, led by the Syrian Democratic Council, are currently in talks with Damascus to reach a political settlement and defend the country from a Ottoman Turkish invasion.

In a new interview with Bloomberg News, a bigwig from the Syrian Democratic Council said that they choose Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...
"It isn’t comfortable for us but what is the other option?" Ilham Ahmed of the Syrian Democratic Council told Bloomberg.

"If we were cornered into choosing between a Ottoman Turkish militia attacking our areas," and reaching an accord with President Bashir al-Assad, she said in an interview in Washington, "we would go with the regime."

Ahmed’s comments come at a time in which Turkey is threatening to invade the areas governed by the Syrian Democratic Council in northern and eastern Syria.

Furthermore, the Syrian Democratic Council recently presented an 11-point plan to Damascus in order to reach a political settlement.

A government source told al-Masdar News shortly after a meeting with the Syrian Democratic Council that there were still some issues with the 11-point plan, but that they were working on a solution.
