Kurdistan: PKK second-in-command appears to distance movement from pro-US Rojava strategy

KURDISTAN Workers Party (PKK) second-in-command Cemil Bayik has appeared to distance the movement from the Rojava administration in northern Syria, insisting that the future for Kurds lay with Damascus.

In an interview with the al-Nahar newspaper today, he said that the PKK remained committed to Syrian unity, supporting an end to foreign occupation.

He cited the “close and warm” relations with former president Hafez al-Assad and his family, while welcoming plans for decentralisation announced in April which “opened the door to reconciliation.”

“We have always wanted the autonomous administration to solve its problems with Damascus,” the Kurdish leader said, adding that talks between the two are encouraged.
