About this episode

Turkey has for some time been threatening to attack north-eastern Syria to seize the towns and cities inhabited by Kurds.

We spoke to the organisation's  co-president Ismet Tastan about the outcome and the reaction they received from the government.

Navenda Civaka Kurd ya Demokratîk ya NSW ji bo şermezarkirina gef û êrîşan meşek li dar xist. Em derbarê encamên meşê û peyama ku wan daye, bi hevserokê rêxistinê re Îsmet Taştan re diaxifîn.
