ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The co-leader of the Rojava council in northern Syria says the five-year long bloody conflict has moved the country toward a "complete chaos," with no immediate solutions in sight.
Mansour Alsaloum told Rudaw in an interview that neither the warring sides in the country nor their international supporters have shown any indication for "lasting peace."
"What I see is the course of events (in Syria) moving towards more radicalism and violence. I don't see any solutions. Nor are the regional countries involved prepared for a solution," Alsaloum said of a conflict that has so far cost over 400,000 lives and displaced some 4.5 million people, according to a UN report in April.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned on Tuesday of an unprecedented "humanitarian catastrophe" in Syria's Aleppo and called on Russia and the US to reach an agreement on a ceasefire in the war-torn country.
The Russian Defense Ministry has said long-range Russian Tu-22M bombers based in Iran attacked a number of targets inside Syria on Tuesday.
Alsaloum also slammed Turkish policies towards Syria and called them "deceptive and confusing."
"We all know what the Turkish policies did to Syria. Ankara deceived the international community and brought the assassins and radicals of the world into our country," he said.
