Immediately, the Division of International Relations within the Autonomous Administration of North and East AANES Syria issued an announcement relating to the assertion of the brand new Swedish International Minister, Tobias Bellström, about not supporting the Kurds in Syria. It got here initially:
We, because the peoples of North and East Syria and because the Autonomous Administration AANES and its navy, civil and safety establishments, fought towards terrorism in partnership with the International Coalition, and have made enormous sacrifice on this regard. On this foundation, our relationships have developed with totally different international locations, together with the Scandinavian international locations. There was a global solidarity with our individuals, because the peoples around the globe realized that our battle towards terrorism has been on behalf of all humanity and to attain peace and safety. On this framework, we’ve got developed pleasant relationship and cooperation with the Swedish individuals and Authorities primarily based on our mutual pursuits.
Sweden is a rustic with democratic heritage and values and is occupied with supporting the wrestle and can of oppressed peoples combating for democracy. On this foundation, our cooperation with Sweden has been within the humanitarian file and to attain stability and making a democratic resolution for the Syrian disaster. We additionally recognize the solidarity of the Swedish individuals, who’ve all the time been supportive to our area.
Sadly, we have been upset by the assertion of the brand new Swedish International Minister, Mr. Tobias Billström, who spoke about ceasing help for the Kurds in Syria, or the Individuals’s Safety Units (YPJ), in response to his description. The navy forces of North and East Syria (NES) supported by the International Coalition towards ISIS have been combating towards ISIS to keep up worldwide peace and safety. It’s unlucky that such an announcement goals to placate Turkey to approve Sweden’s membership in NATO. We perceive the pursuits of Sweden, but it surely shouldn’t be on the expense of the peoples who’re combating towards world terrorism that threatens your complete world. We count on to obtain extra help at this important time with a view to obtain the enduring defeat of ISIS. Ceasing the help to our area is opposite to the democratic values and would undermine anti-terror marketing campaign. That is an acquiescence to Turkey, and makes Sweden appears to be like like a companion with the Turkish insurance policies, which help ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra towards our area.
We hope that the Swedish authorities will stay dedicated to its values and democratic political traditions, and that it’ll preserve its honorable place within the worldwide neighborhood, as a rustic that strongly helps oppressed individuals. We additionally hope that the Swedish authorities takes into consideration the robust and historic relationship that we’ve got with the Swedish individuals.
