| Oil, Iraqi border crossing in Deir Ezzor more important than Raqqa: PYD police chief |
| 2017-07-29 |
| [ALMASDARNEWS] Chief of the Asayish security forces in northern Syria, Ciwan Ibrahim, believes that the control of key oil infrastructures and the al-Bukamal Iraqi border crossing area in Deir Ezzor Governorate by Kurdish-led forces is more important than the battle for Raqqa city. Ciwan Ibrahim cited the ’Iranian project’ conspiracy theory as the pretext for his proposed reconsideration of Kurdish geopolitical priorities in Syria. In a statement virtually identical to official line of the Israeli government, the security chief said that the "Iranian project" in Syria and the rest of the Middle East was more dangerous than the "ISIS project," going on to claim that Iran was the criminal mastermind behind aggravations between the Syrian government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). |
