Syrian Kurds, who established control over some areas in the north of
Syria in the middle of this year, have begun creating an independent
army, the Russian media report, citing a statement by the head of
the Kurdistan National Assembly of Syria Sherkoh Abbas.
“The main goal of our army is to protect the territory of Syrian
Kurdistan from any armed intervention, whether Assad’s forces or
Islamist militant groups,” said Abbas.
The US and Western European countries have agreed to provide military
and financial assistance in the establishment of an independent Kurdish
army, which, in their opinion, could prevent spread of radical Islam
in Syria.
