The invading Turkish state and its proxy gangs from the so-called Syrian National Army (SNA) are deliberately looting the local people's property and targeting civilians in the areas they have occupied in northeastern Syria.

The people of Til Temir make their living by farming. Due to the occupation of many villages by the Turkish state and its gangs, farmers engaged in agriculture cannot go to their fields that are located near the occupied areas.

Citizens who have agricultural lands close to the front lines in Til Temir expressed their views on the issue and stated that they could not plow their fields.

A farmer named Mehmûd El Xidir, who lives in the village of al-Mahmudiyah, stated that the invading Turkish state and its gangs looted an agricultural project that cost about 80 million Syrian Pound. Xidir said: "The region lives by agriculture and after the occupation of these regions by gangs, the citizens are experiencing great difficulties."

'GANGS DO NOT ALLOW THE FARMERS TO PLANT THE FIELD'

A farmer named Xelef El Faris, who lives in Xashim al-Zirgan village, said, “I have an agricultural land of approximately 2 thousand decares. I cannot go to this land because of the attacks of the invading Turkish state and its gangs. Even if I go to work there, the invading Turkish forces and gangs do not allow me to collect my products, and they target farmers.”

El Faris continued: “The occupying Turkish state is committing a crime against us. Its goal is to make us migrate, leave our homes and fields. The guarantor countries should remove the Turkish state from these occupied regions. We are imprisoned in our own village, we cannot survive.”

Til Temir Agriculture Committee Co-Chair Seid Nayif shared the following information: “The gangs occupied more than 20 thousand decares of agricultural land. These fields are now empty. In addition, 12 thousand decares of land cannot be cultivated due to the attacks of the gangs. Farmers do not plow their fields because they do not have a safety of life.”
