YPG General Commad issues a statement on Kobanî.

NEWS DESK - YPG General Command released a statement on the ongoing clashes in Kobanî. The following is the full statement of YPG:
"To the Media and the General Public,


It has been 33 days that the city of Kobanî has been fighting terrorism in eventful days of resistance, redemption, and enormous sacrifices in combating the terrorist attacks of ISIS and its evils. For this organization which has become the biggest threat to the global peace and stability, the battle of Kobane poses a historic turning point. We are certain that the result of this battle will shape the future of Syria and the democratic struggle for freedom and peace. We want it to be known that the victory in Kobane is a victory for all Syria, and it will also be a major defeat for ISIS and terrorism.
The resistance shown by us, People’s Defense Units (YPG) and the factions of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) is a guarantee for defeating ISIS’s terrorism in the region. Counter-terrorism and building a free and democratic Syria were the bases of the agreement we signed with factions of the FSA. As we can see, the success of the revolution is subject to the development of this relationship between all factions and the forces of good in this country.
We as the YPG affirm that we will meet all of our responsibilities towards Rojava and Syria in general. We will work to consolidate the concept of true partnership for the administration of this country commensurate with the aspirations of the Syrian people with all its ethnic, religious and social classes.
We also confirm that there is coordination between us and the important factions of the FSA in the northern countryside of Aleppo, Efrîn, Kobanî, and Cizîre (Jazeera). Currently, there are factions and several battalions of the FSA fighting on our side against the ISIS terrorists."
