Al-Qamishli: Presidential elections also to take place in PYD-controlled regions
KURDWATCH, June 2, 2014—In an interview with the Syrian TV-station Sama, Akram Hiso, chairman of the executive council of the transitional administration in the canton of Jazirah which was appointed by the Democratic Union Party (PYD), indicated that presidential elections will also take place in PYD-controlled regions: »All Syrians have the right to exercise these activities [to vote]. We had hoped that all sides would be in agreement before elections take place.« Speaking to the same TV-station, his deputy, Husayn Aʿzam, described the presidential elections as a democratic act; every citizen had »the right to exercise his right to vote«. By contrast on May 25, 2014, the chairman of the PYD, Salih Muslim, stated to the Arab newspaper al‑Hayat that there would be no polling places in the Kurdish regions. According to Muslim, the regime has no presence there and there would be no one who could protect the polling places. At best, he said, it would be possible for the regime to set up polling places in the city of al‑Hasakah and in several of the government-controlled Arab districts in al‑Qamishli as well as at the airport there.

They do NOT call it "Rojave Kurdistan" they have dropped the Kurdistan - they call it "Rojave" which makes it sound as though it has nothing to do with Kurdistan

Hawar News is a PYD news agency

I have yet to find a totally unbiased news site

Salih Muslim has NO right to prevent people from voting - he is in danger of becoming another Hitler

Many people were deterred from voting by Salih - that was wrong - for too many years Kurds in Syria have been suppressed

As for the YPG confiscating the ballot boxes - that shows a shocking and disgusting lack of respect for all those who were brave enough to vote

It is starting to look as though Kurds have just replaced one bully Assad - with another bully in Salih Muslim

Those are the regions where PYD says it will ''allow'' elections. But their official statements have always been there would be no election within the cantons and within the Kurdish controlled areas - which is also what the end result shows us... That the votes were burned ( possibly votes by Arabs either ways). What the Arabs and the Baathists do in their areas is none of Kurds business. The important thing is that Assad has no legitimicy in the Kurdish areas thus we had the right and the honour to turn down his election.

Funny how two non Kurd imperalists ( one a frenchman another a half indian half englih) are speaking as if they know so much about Kurdistan. Quite frankly, this thread just shows that you know nothing. I would encourage all REAL Kurds on this site to stop posting on this God forsaken forum until proper measures are taken against the imperalist demonizers and their propaganda war against Kurds. Let the imperalist delusional individuals reply to each other. But do not reply to them yourselves. They are not Kurds and their only goal is to demonize our freedom struggle by acting as if they know so much.
