33 political parties and organizations in North and East Syria protested the attacks by the invading Turkish state and called on the US-led International Coalition and Russia to fulfil their responsibilities.
33 political parties and organizations in North and East Syria made a statement to protest the invasion attacks by the Turkish state. A member of the Syrian Democratic and Modern Party read out the statement during the protest in front of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in the Siyahi neighborhood.
The statement noted that the Turkish attacks against North and East Syria have not stopped since the occupation of Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî in October 2019. It said that all kinds of weapons were used in the attacks, while targeted strikes by armed drones were mainly directed against children, citizens and administrators. Institutions of service and economy were also bombed.
The statement paid tribute to the co-chair of the self-government in Qamishlo Canton, Yusra Darwish (Yusra Derwêş), her deputy Lîman Şiwêş and driver Firat Tûma, who were killed by a drone attack near the village of Tal Shair on June 20.
Offering condolences to the families of the martyrs, the statement said: “We condemn this racist attack which was directed against the children of this country doing their work. The Turkish state cannot destroy our political will with these crimes. We will continue the democratic change in Syria in line with the national political stance that will ensure stability, justice and democracy.”
The statement added that the aim of the inhumane crimes was to shatter the unity of Syrian territory, to destroy its sovereignty and to eliminate national initiatives that promote a political solution.
The parties underlined that the drone attack on Tuesday came as the 20th round of Syria talks began in Astana: “We warned that a reconciliation between Damascus and Ankara, which is far from offering a political-national solution, would help Turkey to continue committing crimes against the Syrian people, especially against North and East Syria.”
The parties urged all political forces to fulfil their responsibilities towards the Syrian people. It called for unity against the violations and crimes of the invading Turkish state. Furthermore, the US-led International Coalition and Russia were requested to fulfil their responsibilities.
