DAANES: Turkish state commits war crimes in an attempt to conceal its collapse

The Autonomous Administration emphasised that the Turkish state is committing war crimes in its aggression against Northern and Eastern Syria and is trying to conceal its collapse.

The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) made a statement regarding the increasingly ongoing attacks of the occupying Turkish state against North and East Syria.

The statement pointed out that the Turkish state is once again trying to conceal its collapse both at home and abroad by targeting the region.

DAANES noted that attacking the region and its people is a war crime, especially after the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and security forces stabilized the region with their operations against ISIS cells and their supporters.

The Democratic Autonomous Administration said that Turkey attacked the region to pave the way for ISIS cells and opposition forces to disrupt this stabilization.

DAANES called on the forces seeking to stabilize the region and preserve the gains to take clear and unambiguous positions against the attacks of the Turkish state.

According to DAANES, the recent attack in Moscow shows that the ISIS threat persists and that the Turkish state is the primary supporter of ISIS in the region. The statement said that the international community should adopt a serious strategy to eliminate the sources of terrorism and cooperate with the Autonomous Administration.

The Autonomous Administration promised to protect the achievements of the people and the structures of the region in every way, to stabilize the region and to secure the people's hope for democracy, justice and equality.
