The Autonomous Administration called for the international coalition forces and parties that guaranteed a ceasefire to take a clear stand against the Turkish attacks on North-East Syria.
On August 3, at 7:15 pm, a UAV belonging to the Turkish state attacked a car carrying six SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) commanders and fighters on the way to the village of Harmi Sheikho, Qamishlo city, while they were heading home to spend their monthly vacation. The attack resulted in the martyrdom of four fighters, and the injury of two others.
The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) issued a written statement regarding the deadly Turkish attack, saying the following:
“The invading Turkish state has carried out yet another attack before the eyes of the whole world, resulting in deaths and injuries. The attack is a clear attempt to divert attention from fighting ISIS mercenaries in the first place and to achieve the desire to strike stability in our regions.
We in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria have previously highlighted the need for the International Coalition forces and parties that have guaranteed a ceasefire to take a clear stand. The continuation of attacks against fighters who confront terror and extremism is a dangerous sign. We affirm that the security of our people and our regions is our top priority, and we will strive to ensure that with all our might.
We extend our sincere condolences to the families of the martyrs, and we wish a speedy recovery for the wounded. We will continue to follow in the footsteps of our martyrs, protect the gains of our people and secure their aspiration to build a democratic future.”
