Cizre Canton Democratic Autonomous Administration made a press statement regarding the latest wave of genocidal attacks of the occupying Turkish state against North and East Syria.

The statement made in front of Mehmed Şêxo Culture and Art Centre in Qamishlo city was read by Telat Yunis, Co-Chair of Cizre Canton Executive Council.

"Through these attacks, the democratic project is wanted to be destroyed within the scope of the policy of genocide, destruction and eliminating the security of the region," the statement said.

Talat Yunis stated that in order to realise their plans in other parts of Syria, the invaders resorted to methods such as embargo, water cut, destruction of living resources and displacement in order to break the will of the people of the region. Yunis noted that Turkey, taking advantage of the international silence and regional and national crises, used the lack of international organisations dealing with human rights as an opportunity to attack.

"Electricity was cut off in the villages and towns of Cizre Canton due to the failure of Siwediye station and other power stations. Due to the attacks, water stations, hospitals, health centres, flour mills and many other service institutions went out of service. Fuel and gas have also decreased. The occupying Turkish state bombed oil refineries, wells and gas and fuel fields that meet the needs of more than 5 million people."

Yunis pointed out that the attacks on the checkpoints of the Internal Security Forces increased the danger posed by ISIS cells, families of ISIS gangs in Hol and Roj camps and thousands of ISIS gangs in Sîna prison.

The statement concluded, "We emphasise once again that no matter how much the terror of the occupying Turkish state increases, it will not be able to break our will, which we take from the strength of our resisting people, we will win. Our people continue to protect their own institutions by preserving their unity and struggle against all kinds of terror, attacks and special war policies. Our people, who have taken a strong stance against the attacks that have been continuing since the beginning of the revolution, continue to move forward on the path of freedom and democracy, making it clear that the free will cannot be broken."

 Telat Yunis called for solidarity from the international community and the people of the region.
