News/Article Rojava effectively bans using PKK flags, symbols

https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/syria/271220242

"Kurdish authorities in northeast Syria (Rojava) have instructed all institutions and political parties to display only emblems and banners representing the administration, a senior politician from the ruling coalition told Rudaw English on Friday. The directive effectively prohibits the use of Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) symbols and flags amid calls for the enclave to distance itself from the armed group and efforts to have a unified Kurdish front in the new Syria.  "
