Syrian kurds not willing to separate from central government

A senior Syrian Kurd leader underlined that the Kurdish population in Syria do not intend to separate from the central government in Damascus and will fight the terrorists attacking Bashar al-Assad's government. "What is said in certain media sources about the intention of the Kurdish Syrians residing in the North for getting separated from the central government is not true and has no correct basis," member of the council of Syria's Kurdistan Democratic Union Jawan Mostafa said in an interview with Hadas News on Saturday. He said that the plan presented by the Syrian Kurds' Democratic Civil Society Movement stresses brotherhood and peaceful coexistence among all regional people, tribes and groups with a permission to locally administer their regions. Meantime, he stressed that the Kurdish population will stand firm against terrorist a-Nusra Front fighting the Damascus government. Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs and terrorists against Syrian forces and civilians being reported across the country. The US and its western and regional allies have long sought to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his ruling system. Media reports said that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups have received significantly more and better weapons, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States. The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May 2012 that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling al-Assad's government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States. The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure. Opposition activists who had earlier complained that the rebels were running out of ammunition said in May, 2012 that the flow of weapons - most bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military in the past - had significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states to provide millions of dollars in funding each month.
