Syria May Use Military Force Against Kurds In Case Of Secessionist Attempts - Damascus

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th September, 2018) Syria does not want to use military force against Kurds who are living in the northeast of the country but will be forced to do so if they try to secede, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem told RT.

"The situation is complicated not by Kurds but by the US presence, which gives Kurds the illusion of being able to act in disrespect of Damascus's legitimate authority ... If they still try to achieve secession, accepting the US stand, then I can say that we will have to adopt the way we do not want to follow, the way of a military solution," Muallem said in an interview.
