ISTANBUL - Jailed Kurdish militant leader Abdullah Ocalan issued a rare statement on Monday calling on the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces to resolve problems in Syria without conflict.
Ankara says Syrian Kurdish YPG fighters spearheading the SDF are part of the PKK, which is designated a terrorist organization by the United States and European Union. Turkey has waged two military incursions in northern Syria against the YPG. It also said Turkish sensitivities should be taken into consideration in any work toward a solution in Syria.
Ocalan also said supporters holding hunger strikes to protest against his isolation should not risk their health or lives. Eight of those on hunger strike domestically and abroad have committed suicide to draw attention to the cause, the HDP said.
