Relation With the Coalition Strong Despite Misleading Information: General Command

ROJAVA, Syria (October 2, 2015) – It has been almost a year since active relation and coordination were formed between the People’s Defense Units (YPG) and the Anti-ISIS International Coalition. This well-coordinated communication began from the historic resistance in Kobani, late 2014, and reached its highest level of collaboration with liberation of the city of Tal Abyad (Gire Spi) in June 2015. During the course of this cooperation, together, we have managed to deal heaviest blows to the Daesh (ISIS) and realize great victories against the terrorist group. That said, this coordination will endure closer than before.

Yet some sides are trying to distort the collaboration between the YPG and the Coalition, the same partnership that has dramatically helped Rojava, northern Syria, to recover peace and stability despite uncertain regional circumstances, and benefitted the people to safely return back to their occupied lands in Kobani, Tal Abyad and elsewhere in Rojava after removal of ISIS’ brutality there. Once again, the relation, coordination and two-sided support between the People’s Defense Units and the US-led coalition will not simply continue but emerge stronger against committed enemy, the Daesh terrorists.
