Newroz Ehmed, a member of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Command, held a Zoom meeting with intellectuals in the Cizire region of North-East Syria addressing the attacks of the invading Turkish state.

Ehmed explained the purpose of the Turkish attacks and the situation in the region to the intellectuals in the Cizire region and said that the intellectuals have an important role in rejecting these attacks which seek the annihilation and denial of the people of the region.

INVASION ATTACKS

Ehmed pointed out that the attacks of the Turkish state posed a major danger: “The Turkish state has come up with pretexts to attack the region. It is targeting the existence of the people of the region through these attacks that are stretched as far as the centre of Syria and are directed against not only the military locations but also the existence of the people. Erdogan is ambitious of carrying out these attacks in an attempt to win the next elections. There is silence towards these attacks, and concrete attitudes have not been developed in previous cases either. We especially appealed to the parties that support the invasion. The reactions that emerged played an important role. In the talks, we also see some parties supporting the Rojava Revolution. This reality has pressure to be put on the states that support the invading Turkish state.”

'ERDOĞAN WILL CONTINUE ATTACKING'

Ehmed continued, “The forces in the region see the danger posed by Turkish attacks considering the fact that ISIS families are staying in prisons and camps in the region. Although there have been reactions to some extent, the Turkish aggression took place with their approval. We see that clearly. We know that this invasion attack can never take place without the approval of these forces. The coalition forces in particular have granted approval to Turkey. Russia wants us to leave some of the regions we hold. Their aim is to enable the deployment of the regime forces in the south of the region while we deal with the northern regions of Syria. The Turkish state, on the other hand, wants to make the people revolt against us and the Coalition, especially in cities such as Tabqa, Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor. It seeks to weaken us so that the Syrian regime forces dominate the region.”

“Erdogan could achieve success neither in our region nor in Iraq. That's why he won't stop. He especially wants to occupy the border areas. Annihilation of the Autonomous Administration is the only condition for Erdoğan to stop these attacks.

Erdogan will stop these attacks if he destroys the Autonomous Administration. Erdogan has neither friends nor permanent enemies, which is why he resorts to all means. The Syrian government does not have a serious attitude against it,” Ehmed said.

'WE HAVE MADE PREPARATIONS'

“We have made preparations in the military field. Of course, everyone will give the necessary response to these attacks. In this regard, the attitude of intellectuals in particular is very important. The Turkish state disseminates the idea of invasion through intellectuals. However, our intellectuals also have a clear stance against this policy. In many revolutions, it was the intellectuals who stopped it. They have fulfilled this duty until now, and they should undertake this task more strongly from now on," she added.
