The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) reacted to the statements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Damascus Government accusing the Autonomous Administration of the recent attacks on Deir ez-Zor.

The Department of Foreign Relations of DAANES stated that the language of the Damascus government is hostile and Syrians know well what these discourses mean.

"The events in Deir ez-Zor started with the attacks carried out by the forces loyal to the Damascus government and its supporters," the Autonomous Administration said.

Remarking that the Damascus government is dragging the country into chaos and corruption with this understanding, the Autonomous Administration drew the attention of Damascus to the occupation and crimes committed by the Turkish state in Syria.

"They insist on continuing with this mentality that massacres the Syrian people. We consider the attitude of the Syrian people rejecting the sedition initiated by Damascus and their support for the forces protecting them important."

The Autonomous Administration called on Syrians living in Damascus-controlled areas not to be fooled by the government's hostile rhetoric and to unite against a possible war.

Appealing to the Syrian Foreign Ministry, DAANES said: "Give up your demagogic rhetoric that will not bring any results.”

Finally, the Autonomous Administration stated that internal dialogue is the only way to build a democratic country and added: "We reject all attempts of sedition and will stand against them with the unity of our people."
