US recognition of Armenian genocide will prevent Turkey’s “massacre” of Kurds: SDF commander

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region -- Mazloum Abdi, commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), said late Friday that the US Senate’s resolution to recognize the Armenian genocide will prevent Turkey from carrying out massacres against Kurds in northeast Syria.

The US Congress on Thursday formally recognized the Ottoman Empire’s mass murder of up to 1.5 million Armenians in 1915-1917 as genocide.

“This is a clear message that genocide campaigns are not possible in the 21st century. This decision will stop Turkey from committing massacres against the Kurdish people and stop its invasion of Rojava,” said Abdi in a tweet, using the Kurdish name for the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.

Amazing statement, then by all means, pass and sign the bill!

I admire the guy, I saw him with some woman dignitary. I can not remember now, who that was.

The actions of Turkey in the northern Syrian areas captured in last month’s military offensive amount to ethnic cleansing, Democrat Congressman Eliot Engel, chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, said on Wednesday in a press release.

"Turkish President Erdogan conducted a bloody ethnic cleansing campaign against the Syrian Kurds in Northeast Syria. Now, he’s forcing Arab and Turkmen Syrian refugees to resettle in the Kurds’ ancestral homeland, where security conditions will put their lives at risk," Engel said.

Turkey launched a cross-border offensive on Oct. 9 to drive the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and other Kurdish-led groups from its borders.
