Gemayel Condemns Attack on Kurds in Northeast Syria
Kataeb leader Samy Gemayel on Friday commiserated with the Kurds as Turkish troops launched their cross-border offensive to uproot the Kurdish militants in northeast Syria.
“It’s a shame how the persecution of a proud nation can repeat itself, over and over again for centuries under the eyes of the whole world,” Gemayel wrote on Twitter.
“A nation that has no right to a state. Though they are still fighting, alongside other persecuted ethnic groups, with great courage... #Kurds,” he added.
