Roj Bash Kurdistan

Washington has expressed concerns over the declaration of a constituent assembly by Syrian Kurds as a self-declared “first step” toward an interim administration in the northern parts of the war-torn country.

“We are concerned over the reports on efforts to declare an autonomous Kurdish region in Syria,” U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said during her daily press briefing on Nov. 13.

“The establishment of an autonomous Kurdish region should include the communities that live in this region, hence be part of a decision,” Psaki said, adding that Washington was committed regarding Syria’s unity.

“Our policy has always been to support Syria’s unity and territorial integrity,” Psaki said.

Saleh Muslim, the co-chair of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), which controls the northern parts of Syria known as Rojava, said that the constituent assembly was established to meet the needs of the Syrian Kurds.

“If preparations are finished there will be elections in three months,” Muslim announced.

The move was also harshly criticized by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, who accused the PYD of not “keeping its promise.”

“Our policy has always been to support Syria’s unity and territorial integrity,” Psaki said.

Tha is all they are worried about is unity!! Let her and Obama to through what Kurds went though in that fake country for almost 100 years, then ls hen talk about unity. This administration has been a big disappointment, Obama acts like a whimp, and they have know clue of what I do.
