Northern Syrian Democratic Federation Executive Council Co-chair Foza Yusif spoke to ANHA about the situation in Afrin, which has been under Turkish state invasion since March 18, and said the Turkish state is acting in alliance with Russia to change the demographics in Afrin.

Yusif said there is a genocide in progress: “We receive reports that the Faylaq Al Rahman gangs have been taken from Eastern Ghouta to Afrin. This shows that there is an ethnic genocide in progress in Afrin.”

Yusif added that the people should rise up everywhere against an ethnic genocide and said the following on the gang structures formed in Antep:

“The council the traitors are preparing for does not represent the will of our people. The people in this council are trading over the blood of our people. Our people will make these people pay and will never forgive them.”

Foza Yusif also pointed out that the ENKS hasn’t clarified their stance on Erdoğan’s gangs who massacred children and forced hundreds of thousands of people out of Afrin.

Yusif also protested the stance international institutions have taken regarding the genocidal attacks against Afrin by the Turkish state and their gangs:

“The international community and the UN are responsible for the ethnic genocide, forced migration and the changing of the demographic makeup by Russia and Turkey. They must fulfill their responsibility to our people of Afrin.”
