(MENAFN) A British Parliament member urged the deployment of US and British forces to stop Turkey "from carrying out further attacks on Syrian Kurdistan (Rojava) after a UK delegation he is part of visited the war-torn area. "
"In regards to the strategy for trying to stop Turkey expanding out to Syria, we would like the US and British troops to be in Manbij and to stop the attack of Turkey on Rojava," Maurice Glasman, a Labour peer in the House of Lords, told Kurdistan 24 on Saturday in Erbil.
"The aim of the visit, and I came with the MP and the people from the trade unions, was to show solidarity with Rojava in their fight against Da'esh with what's happening in Afrin, and also to find out what was the reality on the ground of the democracy that they're building there," Glasman said.
This comes after a delegation formed from British Labour officials visited Rojava on Tuesday and met with Syrian Kurdish officials in the region.
