The Turkish state and allied jihadist gangs that have invaded and looted Afrin are forcing the peoples of different faiths to convert to Islam in addition to their inhumane acts such as abduction, harassment, rape, murder and torture against the residents who oppose their invasion.

Ezidis from Afrin who were displaced due to barbaric attacks and following invasion, and settled in the Serdem Camp in Shehba underlined that the invaders have no faith.

Remarking that Ezidis will be protecting their faith despite all the pressures and attacks, Ezidi citizen Ebdo Xalo said the following; “Under the name of Islam, they demolished our sacred places and looted our properties. These practices and the Turkish state have nothing to do with Islam. Turkish forces and their mercenaries are forcibly making the Ezidis who remained in Afrin convert to Islam as they bear a hostile attitude towards different faiths.”

Qudret Betal pointed out that the Turkish state is barbarically attacking every living and non-living thing in Afrin, saying; “the Turkish state is repeating the ISIS practice in Shengal.”

Another Ezidi citizen, Kamîran Xalo said that the Turkish state is conducting inhumane attacks in violation of the international law in front of the world’s eyes, adding; “Turkish gangs have destroyed our sacred places and graveyards in Afrin. There is no room for such practices in any religion.”
