Farhad Shami, SDF media center spokesperson said that Jabhat al-Nusra (HTS, Front Al-Nusra) has been added, “a hidden friend of the Turkish State for years in Syria, just as ISIS was previously. But surprisingly, countries usually tend to hide their enemies and speak about their friends, but the Turkey-Nusra-ISIS relationship is different.”

Last week and over the course of three days, said  Shami, “al-Nusra introduced six massive convoys to occupied Afrin before the eyes of Turkey. Some have said that the Turkish stance is unclear, but on the contrary, Turkey was quite clear in opening the way for al-Qaeda as planned.

After that, Turkey resorted to stirring up intelligence dust to conceal the scheme and run the event to serve its tendencies, and flexing its malicious power on the media, not to expel al-Nusra, but to support (al-Qaeda) control, covering up its elements and protecting them from being targeted.”

Turkey, said Shami, “used carrot-and-stick to discipline and tame other factions that were on their way to eliminate the Turkmen factions (Hamzat-Amshat) supported by Turkish chauvinist parties and intelligence, but the opposite happened.”

Now, said Shami, “al-Nusra has military and security control over Afrin, and this is the first phase of expansion. The second one will be towards A'zaz, starting from the countryside of Jarablus, al-Bab, and the vicinity of Manbij, which is already under the control of al-Nusra, completing the plan to encircle A'zaz and to provoke the fronts in Manbij and Kobani. The talk about the withdrawal of al-Nusra from Afrin is a cheap, deceptive talk used by the Turkish occupation to circumvent the international community and invest in the dreams of some fool Syrian mercenaries who count on the occupation.”

On the other hand, continued Shami, “al-Nusra and al-Amishat have only two weeks to send their mercenaries to Libya as a token for their expansion in Afrin, al-Bab and Jarablus. The same for other terrorist factions, in exchange for Turkish security protection in the face of international law.”

In general, said Shami, “all files related to the violations of these terrorist factions are on the table of international human rights organizations, and we are waiting for them to be placed on the international terrorist lists soon, in addition to the Turkish occupation, the official sponsor of terrorist groups.”
