Stop Turkish invasion in Northern-Syria
Turkish fighter-jets are bombing villages in Shehba and Efrin-Rojava-
Kurdistan
In an active pursuit to
prevent the development
of the resistance
situation against
terrorism and extremist
groups, the Turkish air
forces bombed the
villages of
Um Al
Housh and Um Al Qura
hours after their
liberation from Daesh.
In addition,
Turkish artillery have shelled villages in the Shehba
and
Efrin areas.
As a result of
this bombardment,
four civilians have been killed and tens of people heavily injured, a further ten
freedom fighters were killed.
The bombardment is still ongoing.
This bombardment comes in an extermination campaign exercised by the Turkish state against the
Syrian people. It is also a direct support for Daesh mercenaries after receiving a fatal blow from the
revolutionary forces there.
These immoral practices by the Turkish state are incompatible with all international covenants
and conventions and are directed against our people and the people of Syria.
The international community and the authorities concerned with fighting terrorism must intervene to
prevent the Turkish intervention. Ignoring or turning a blind eye, by those who are concerned with the
Syrian case, led to the expansion of Turkey's role in Jarablus and ultimately using their air force to
bomb the surrounding areas.
These practices are conclusive evidence that the Turkish state does not differ from the Syrian regime
in bombing and exterminating the Syrian people. This is the best proof that those parties endeavour to
prevent any solution to the Syrian reality, by allowing extremist forces to regroup their forces in areas
where they were previously defeated.
We strongly condemn the Turkish state’s invasion in the Shehba and Efrin regions and their vile
attacks. Erdoğan and his policies have been defeated in Mosul and Iraq. This is why he wants to
invade Syrian territory to win back what he lost in Iraq. Turkey wants to take back the ``Misak-ı
Milli`` territories it lost after World War II. Turkey’s goal with these attacks isn’t just to invade
Northern Syria, but to invade Syria as a whole.
Thus, all international powers should take a stance
against the Turkish state’s invasion towards Northern-Syria.
We call upon our people everywhere to express their views and condemn these violations, crimes
and the blatant infringement on the sovereignty of Rojava and Syria.
