Executives of the councils of Til Rifat and Afrin and residents held a press briefing at the scene where Turkish artillery attack killed a child and wounded another on Wednesday.

Speaking here, Til Rifat District Council member Abdullah Behlûl recalled that the Turkish state has massacred children in Til Rifat twice during the past two months for all the world to see.

Behlûl vowed that the people of Til Rifat and those displaced from Afrin will be resisting any and all kinds of attacks, saying; “The Turkish state commits massacres in an attempt to intimidate and displace the local population. Seeking to change the demography of the region, the Turkish state desires to make its dreams of Ottoman invasion real.”

Remarking that the people would never bow to attacks, Behlûl called on the international community to fulfill their responsibilities against the Turkish state’s war crimes and crimes against humanity.
