Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) leader Murat Karayilan recently discussed the current state of the Middle East in an exclusive interview with The Amargi news outlet. Describing the ongoing conflict as a "Third World War," Karayilan argued that it is a global struggle between capitalist powers vying for dominance. He specifically highlighted the competition between the United States and China, as well as the role of artificial intelligence and rare earth elements in this geopolitical struggle.
The PKK leader also touched on the regional conflicts in Syria, Iraq, and other neighboring countries, noting that the US's withdrawal from these areas has further complicated the situation.
