The Syrian government has released 1200 members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), ITAR-TASS reports.
3,000 people were released in the northern regions, over half of them were criminals while 1200 were political convicts. Spokesman of the Homs city council Abu Salah noted that most of the released convicts joined the Democratic Unity Party. Three control posts were formed for the party in Afrin. The official added that most Kurds are not separatists in Syria and are not a threat to Turkey. He assured that the Free Syrian Army would prevent them from threatening Ankara.
Salah believes that Syrian President Bashar al-Asad is trying to show the Arab population what life would be like under control of the Kurds after his resignation.
