National Coordination Body condemns attacks on Serêkaniyê
The Media Office of National Coordination Body for Democratic Change in Syria in Exile released a statement to condemn the recent attacks on the West Kurdistan city of Sere Kaniye/Ras al-Ain.
The Coordination said that the attacks on the people in Ras al-Ain / Sere Kaniye in north Syria have become fiercer since 16 January 2013, and that these suspicious armed attacks have been perpetrated by some of the brigades and divisions that claim to be the arm of the Syrian revolution, such as the Brigades of Ahrar Al'oma (the free people of the nation), Ahrar Gowairan (free people of Gowairan), Mishaal Tamo, Gorabaa Alsham, the descendants of the Ahfad al-Rasul Brigade, Abna Saad bin Abi Waqas Brigade and troops linked to the military council of the Free Army.
The National Coordination Body underlined that "These brigades have alone or in collaboration carried out many attacks on unarmed civilians and on empty buildings of the state which do not now represent the regime and which are the property of the people. They forced most of the families in the city to flee, leaving their homes and properties which were looted by the above-mentioned brigades. The People's Protection Units (YPG) were forced to retaliate against these attacks to protect the families in the area and protect the area's versatile social structure of many religions and nationalities".
The Coordination remarked that the actions of these groups are alien to the revolution, and represent foreign agendas, in particular the Turkish agenda which is supporting these groups and supplying them with weapons, foreign fighters, ammunition and armoured vehicles which are illegally crossing the border.This is -it said- a clear breach of national sovereignty and an outright breach of international laws, a move that does not serve the Syrian people nor their revolution for freedom and respect.
The Coordination ended its statement by calling upon the democratic people in Syria to reject these terrorist groups and expose them and urged the international community to put utmost pressure on the Turkish government which -it said- is evidently facilitating the transfer of terrorism and its apparatuses into Syria.
