‘If the US decided to eradicate Daesh, they can do it within two hours’

The U.S. seeks to maintain its presence in Syria and continues to arm Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorists and its allies under the pretext of the fight the Daesh terror organization, which maintains just a small presence in two villages of Deir ez-Zor.

The U.S has supplied the PYD terror organization and its armed wing, the YPG, with thousands of truckloads of weapons to allegedly use in the fight against Daesh, despite Ankara’s warnings that the fact they are the Syrian offshoots of the PKK terror organization.

Daesh terrorists have control over two villages across Syria – Hajir and Ishafa- where only 1,500 are stationed in a 150 square-kilometer area.

Former Deir ez-Zor Meyadin Council member, Kerem Fireyah, divulged the details about the main aim of the U.S in the region and told Yeni Şafak daily in an exclusive interview that “If they decided to annihilate the Daesh presence, they could do it within two hours.”


Daesh threat in the region can be purged within two hours

Stressing the U.S’s military capacity and power to put an end to the Daesh threat Fireyah said, “The Deash terror organization only has control over in the villages of Hajir and Ishafa nationwide. There are about 1,500 Daesh terrorists in these two regions and this situation has not changed for 2 years. There was no operation against Daesh there. The U.S., due to its political strategy, ignored the presence of terror elements there. If they decide to annihilate the Daesh presence, they could do it within two hours,” Fireyah said.

“The only justification of the U.S to legitimize its presence in the country is Daesh and Washington does not want to lose this trump card. The Assad regime has control over al-Bukemal, Jela, Salihiyye and Meyadin. On the other hand, Suvar, Ziban, Shiheyl, Abu Hamam and Baguz have the U.S-PKK terror elements. There is Daesh in the middle region,” he added.

“The U.S has not allowed regime intervention for 2 years, nor has it finished off the presence of Daesh that consists of only two villages.”

“Daesh have been procuring all their needs from PYD-occupied areas. With the bombardments against Daesh, civilians are being hit. These attacks are being conducted for civilians to flee the area,” he concluded.
