 Hasakah- Between October 23 and 27, the Turkish state conducted about 700 attacks on North and East Syria by using its drones and warplanes, killing 17 people, including women and children, and injuring dozens of civilians.

Call for unity and solidarity

“This is not the first time that Türkiye has targeted the civilian infrastructure in our region,” said Esma El-Mela, Deputy Chair of the Syria Homeland Party Youth Office. “The Turkish state is a state known for its massacres throughout history.”

 Esma El-Mela thinks that the aim of the attacks is to create chaos and an insecure environment in northeastern Syria. “The ongoing Turkish attacks on our region aim to depopulate the region by causing fear and panic among the people,” she said, stressing that Türkiye’s excuses are baseless. “They produce excuses to legitimize their attacks and get support from the international community.”

 Esma El-Mela called on people to unite and be in solidarity with each other against the attacks targeting their freedoms and will. “We call on everyone in the region to support the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES). The system of the AANES is based on democracy and equality.”

‘The aim of the Turkish state is to deteriorate living conditions in the region’

Şeyma Khalaf, member of the Syria Homeland Party Central Committee, also condemned the recent Turkish attacks on northeastern Syria. “For 13 years, the Turkish state has targeted our region. But recently, it has targeted critical civilian infrastructure, even bakeries. Its aim is to deteriorate living conditions in the region in order to depopulate the region.

“The Turkish state targets women and children in its attacks in order to destroy the gains of the Rojava Revolution.”

‘We seek a political solution to build a free Syria’

Şeyma Khalaf also condemned the ongoing silence of the international community against the Turkish attacks on North and East Syria. “States remain silent against the attacks without expressing any opinion. These attacks are conducted with the approval of states,” she said, calling on the people of the region to fight against the attacks. “As the people of the region, we must act shoulder to shoulder because our aim is to solve the Syrian crisis, preventing it from getting worse. We always seek a political solution to build a free and democratic Syria.”
