Citizens, opinion leaders, tribal leaders, parliamentary and institution representatives in the villages east of Deir ez-Zor organized a march to support the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

In front of the Xeranic People's Municipality building, a statement was read by Ebdulqehar El-Ehmed, a member of the Eastern District Council's executive.

The statement said that the attacks and violations carried out by the invading Turkish state on Syrian lands are against all international values and added: “The by the Turkish state, which has divided our country for centuries, are not new. The invading Turkish state has already been the shelter of terrorism and looting in Syria and continues to do so.

The people in the eastern villages of Deir ez-Zor are ready for any attack on Syrian territory and stand by their defence forces."
