Welo drew attention to the ongoing attacks by the invading Turkish state in Northern and Eastern Syria and said: "The invading Turkish state, its mercenaries and the parties that support them are trying to kill us with their daily attacks. But they will not achieve their goal because we are committed to the resistance."
