PKK/PYD not to attend Syrian dialogue congress

The Democratic Union Party (PYD) terrorist organization will not participate in the Syrian National Dialogue Congress scheduled to be held in Sochi, according to diplomatic sources.

The PYD is Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK)’s offshoot in Syria, which is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the European Union and the United States.

While the date of the congress has not yet been determined, Turkey, Iran and Russia will jointly decide on the participants of the summit.

Sources also said that the United States, which supports the PKK-affiliated People’s Protection Units (YPG) terrorists, “has not specified when their temporary alliance with the YPG will end. The Turkish foreign ministry is giving the U.S a necessary warning.”

The U.S. says the limited amount of the trucks dispatched to the region were for the PYD/YPG and that a major part was sent for U.S. units deployed in Syria, according to foreign ministry sources.
