TEHRAN — Kobani Autonomous Administration Prime MinisterAnwar Muslim
says the liberation of the Kurdish Syrian town from ISIL was the
result of the townspeople’s strong resistance.

“The reality is that in 2014, Kobani was heard of a lot around the
world. The terrorists were trying to occupy the town by hook or by
crook,” he said in an interview with Shargh newspaper published on
Saturday.

Muslim added, “Before Daesh invaded, many people from Arab, Armenian,
Turkmen, and other nationalities had sought refuge in Kobani because
our town enjoyed the greatest security across Syria.”

“The terrorists could not see that. In 2013, a number of extremist
groups attacked Kobani; and groups such as Ahrar ash-Sham and Nusra
Front were defeated by our defense forces.”
