PYD's Muslim: No need for weapons if attacks against us stop

Salih Muslim, the member of the Presidential Council of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), stated that "there will be no need for weapons if attacks against the Kurds come to an end. We join this call because in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, we took up arms solely for self-defense."

Speaking about the appeal made by leader Abdullah Ocalan, Muslim said, "This call is not unexpected. Historically, the Kurdish people resorted to armed struggle as a legitimate means of self-defense. If society is provided with security and given the opportunity to organize itself, there will no longer be a need for weapons."

In an interview with Al Arabiya, he added, "Mr. Abdullah Ocalan firmly believes that political action is the best path forward. We align with this stance because in North and East Syria, we carried weapons only to defend ourselves. If the attacks against us stop, we will lay down our arms—we are not war enthusiasts."
