Ford: America did not betray the Kurds and our alliance with them is temporary
ARK News: The former US ambassador to Syria said that the PYD and YPG militants were fighting ISIS organization for their own reasons and not to eliminate terrorism.
This came in a speech by former US Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford in a seminar which held at the "Woodrow Wilson" Research Center which he pointed out that America's relationship with PYD in Syria is temporary and tactical.
Ford explained that America has not established long-term relations with the PYD, stressing that their alliance is only a tactical military alliance.
The US diplomat confirmed that the relationship between "PYD" and "PKK" is very clear and cannot be hidden, considering that his country has established its relations with the PYD to fight against ISIS.
“In the current situation, I do not think Washington's withdrawal from Syria is a betrayal of the Syrian Kurds," Ford concluded.
