In Hesekê, a press conference was made in front of the Northern Regional Assembly on the occasion of the 99th anniversary of the Treaty of Lausanne, and to protest the invasion attacks carried out by the Turkish state against Northern and Eastern Syria.

Assembly co-chair Ramadan Fetah reminded that with the Lausanne Treaty signed 99 years ago in Lausanne, on 24 July 1923, the map of the region was redrawn in line with the interests of the colonial states and at the expense of the hopes and rights of the people living there.

Fetah touched upon the content of the Treaty of Sèvres signed in France on 10 August 1920 between the Ottoman Empire and the European states, and said: “This treaty led to the division of the Ottoman state, and the Kurds, Arabs, Assyrians and Armenians, and many peoples living in the region to gain their right to independence. However, the Treaty of Lausanne, recognizing the right to build the Turkish state on massacres, denied the identity of the peoples of the region.”

Describing the Treaty of Lausanne as a "disgrace", Fetah stated that the Turkish state aims at reviving the dreams of the National Pact and to draw a new map in the region by invading the Northern and Eastern Syrian lands as well as Kirkuk and Mosul in North Iraq.

Fetah underlined that the United Nations and the international forces are responsible for the invading Turkish state's attacks on Northern and Eastern Syria.
