Turkey opposes inviting representatives of Kurdish PYD troops to Sochi Congress

8-th round of negotiations on a settlement in Syria, held in the capital of Kazakhstan, revealed a certain kind of friction between the participants of the so-called Astana format. The Turkish delegation strongly opposed the invitation to the meeting of the Congress of the national dialogue in Sochi of representatives of the armed forces of the Syrian Kurds. Speech about PYD.

Information Agency Anadolu reports that Ankara is not against the participation of the Kurds as a political force. In particular, Turkey agrees with the invitation of the delegation of the Syrian Kurdish National Council to the Congress in Sochi. Ankara’s arguments are as follows: “This structure has no links with terrorist structures, and therefore we don’t object to the Kurdish interests being represented in Sochi by it”.

Another issue that was actively discussed in Astana was the release of the so-called "political prisoners" from the Syrian prisons. The guarantors of the process, and this Russia, Turkey and Iran will create a special working group that will look for ways to solve this problem together with representatives of the Syrian authorities.

Also, the issue of demining the historical and cultural regions of Syria, including the ancient Palmyra, where there is still a lot of work for the sappers, was in the discussion circle of the Syrian problem.

That the Turks are against the invitation of Turkish Kurds is understandable. Suddenly, they agree to separate a piece from Turkey in favor of Kurdistan.
But they fully support the invitation of the Syrian Kurds. Suddenly they agree to separate a piece from Syria in favor of Kurdistan.
So there is nothing surprising. Everything is clear and predictable. But the date of the congress is really unpredictable.

Remark. Turks oppose inviting Syrian Kurds to negotiations as such.

I think the Turks are not against just wiping out such a nation as the Kurds from the face of the earth! It smacks of genocide .. All people have the right to choose their fate, and the Kurds including!

I quote:

At the expense of the fact that the Turks "want to destroy the Kurds" - they want to destroy those who want to separate from Turkey along with a piece (such a good piece) of the territory. Well, those who do not argue with the authorities are not satisfied with terrorist attacks and honestly pay taxes - they can only destroy such ones and declare them “non-citizens” on a national basis (I will not point a finger at the Baltic states).
I do not consider Turks friends. For Russia, these are enemies. But at the present time, genocide is badly affecting the image. So I do not expect genocide in the next 20 years. In about 20-40 years, when fake news technologies will reach a new level - there all scum in the whole world will take your soul. "White helmets" walking without gas masks in a mustard-infected area are only the first timid attempts. I’m afraid that Russia will not pass by.

At the moment, Kurds, this is a destructive factor. On a short fold at the mattress. Not negotiable.
