Hasaka, SANA- Hasaka Governor Mohammad Za’al al-Ali said that Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has cut Hasaka-Qamishli road in front of the Syrian Arab Army, adding that efforts were exerted to prevent the situation from escalation, but the situation developed further as confrontation happened, claiming the lives of a number of military personnel and civilians.
Al-Ali, in an interview with the Syrian TV through telephone on Friday, added that what is happening in Hasaka is a very dangerous development as there are large numbers of forces which enter the outskirts of the city.
He affirmed that the Kurds are part of the Syrian social spectrum as they participated in the previous battles alongside the Syrian Arab Army.
The Governor wondered that the PKK turned its weapons against the State institutions and the Syrian Arab Army which supported and backed it in its fight against the armed terrorist groups in the province.
Al-Ali pointed out that nobody can protect Hasaka except the Syrian State and its army, calling on all the military and political leaders of the PKK to adhere to their loyalty and belonging to their homeland.
Earlier, the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces said that the Asayish, the military wing of the Kurdistan Workers Party, has recently escalated its provocative actions in Hasaka city, attacking state establishments, stealing oil and cotton, disrupting examinations, carrying out abductions, and causing a state of chaos and instability.
