Turkey prevents Kurds from fighting ISIL – activist
Turkey is preventing the Kurds from joining the fight against ISIL Takfiri militants in the Syrian border town of Kobani, says an activist.
Hooshidar Daragahi, anti-war activist from Chicago, said in an interview with Press TV that the Kurds are left alone without any help and this is a very critical situation for that area.
“The Turkish government is preventing other Kurds who are willing and trying to enter Kobani to fight the ISIL, they are preventing them from doing so and they are treating them very harshly” the activist stated.
The remarks came as Kurdish fighters have repelled a fresh attack by ISIL Takfiri militants on the Syrian border town of Ain al-Arab, also known as Kobani to Kurds.
Dargahi also commented on the US role in confronting ISIL after practically creating this monster in the region.
The US "used to pay for these so-called Takfiris at one time and then after a few years we used to pay billions ... to defeat them. The Obama policy is that he is doing both at the same time –arming, training, financing and bombing them at the same time,” he said, referring to US President Barrack Obama.
The activist concluded that the game plan here is to create “an empire of chaos” in the Middle East, saying the idea is destabilization and eventual disintegration of the whole thing into smaller states to be easier to handle.
The Takfiri ISIL terrorists have had the strategic Syrian town under siege during the past several days.
The ISIL advances come despite the US-led airstrikes on the group’s positions in Syria.
The weeks-long intense battle for the strategic town has forced nearly 200,000 people to take refuge in Turkey.
