If the Kurds do not withdraw, they will end up under the ‘turkish army’s rolling pin’: Peskov

The United States, which had been the closest ally of the Kurds in recent years, has abandoned them, leaving them at the border and forcing them to fight against the Turks. This was stated by Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the President of Russia, commenting on the statement by James Jeffrey, the U.S. special representative for Syria, who expressed doubt about whether the Kurds would withdraw from the areas specified in the Russian-Turkish agreements.

“The United States had been the closest ally of the Kurds in recent years. Ultimately, they left the Kurds and essentially betrayed them. And now they prefer to leave the Kurds at the border, thereby forcing them to fight against the Turks,” Peskov said.

According to him, it is quite evident that if the Kurdish armed formations do not withdraw, “then, in that case, the Syrian border guards and the Russian military police will have to withdraw.” “And in fact, the remaining Kurdish formations will fall under the rolling pin of the Turkish army,” the Russian president's press secretary emphasized.
