The Revolutionary Youth Movement of Syria issued a statement (translated by the Internationalist Commune of Rojava) about the HTS regime's sectarian violence.

The statement said: "Throughout history, young people have led struggles against all systems with a dominant mentality and a slave mentality. The most recent and notable examples of this are the Vietnam War, the Arab Spring and the revolution led by women and young people in Northern and Eastern Syria."

The statement added: "When ISIS attacked Kobanê, thousands of young people (...) from all over the world came to Kobanê to put an end to this oppression.

We see that such a spirit is preserved and lived in this region. Dozens of young people from different nations and beliefs continue their resistance in Tishrin. This (...) spirit should be even more widespread and grow today and spread to all regions of the Middle East, especially Syria.

Jolani, who, after the fall of the Baath regime, came to power in Damascus, does not accept any color in Syria. He makes decisions about women and kills thousands of people from the Alawite sect. It destroys Christian cemeteries. Syria, which is a place of wealth, color, historical heritage and dozens of beliefs, is drying up and heading towards destruction."

The statement said that the "HTS wants to establish its own Sharia order by creating fear and terror in society. It aims to remove women from the public sphere, eliminate differences and silence those who want a free life. Of course, the system that is being created is also a major attack on the Democratic Confederalism System that is currently being developed in Northern and Eastern Syria."

The statement underlined that "the system that is being created now is a system of slavery, a system that is far from science, culture, history, art and philosophy and is lived only through blood and terror. However, Kurds, Arabs, Armenians and Syriacs have lived together in these lands for centuries. The wealth of these lands has been strengthened and found itself through the existence and unity of these peoples.

The unity of the people and the power of the youth, who fought ten years ago and did not surrender Kobanê to this poisonous ISIS mentality, will set an example for the whole of Syria today. Thousands of martyrs were sacrificed for these values. Young men and women fought heroically on the front lines to defend themselves and the existence of these peoples."

The statement said that "making women and young people, who are the foundation of building society, objects and slaves means enslaving society. On this basis, as the Revolutionary Youth Movement, we will never accept a government that is not elected by the will of the people & does not include the people. Therefore, we declare that we will not accept the temporary Syrian government that includes Jolani and the leaders of the murderous gangs, and we will fight against it in every field.

We promise that we will not remain silent, we will resist, we will work and struggle in every field until a democratic and equal Syria is established. The truth of HTS and ISIS will be defeated again by the truth of women and youth, so we will resist until the end, protecting the values ​​of the martyrs."
