Kurds not ready to join Syrian gov’t army, want to keep weapons – Assad
Foreign
Assad made this known in an interview with Sputnik and Rossiya 24 broadcaster on Friday.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense said shortly after Russia and Turkey signed an agreement on northern Syria that it was ready to integrate these fighters.
The agreement was signed in late October in response to Turkey’s operation in northern Syria targeting the Kurdish militia, which it believes to be linked to extremist groups, and the Islamic State terrorist group (banned in Russia).
“The official response we received was that they were not prepared to join the Syrian Arab Army and that they insist on keeping their weapons in those areas.
