The Kurdistan Workers' Party, which has long been entrenched in the northern region of Syria, has announced its surrender:

For a long time, the Kurdistan Workers' Party has been striving for independent statehood and has therefore confronted Turkey. Turkey has long wanted to get rid of them, but with the assistance and support from the United States, Turkey has never been able to achieve its goal.

Now that the Trump administration no longer provides aid, the Kurds, who have lost American assistance, are no match for Turkey. The Kurdistan Workers' Party is also unable to continue to strive for the right to independence. In order to survive, they have no choice but to lay down their weapons and announce their surrender.

However, this is far from the best choice. For the Kurds who have laid down their weapons, there is even less hope because the Turks will not let them live. They will be thoroughly held accountable for past grievances, which is the real calamity for the Kurds!
