Turkey building a wall in occupied Afrin

The Turkish state continues its violations in the territories it occupied in North-East Syria.

In a written statement on Friday, the Human Rights Organisation Afrin-Syria reported that the Turkish army was building a 5 meter long and 3 meter high wall between the villages of Kimare and Berade to the south of Afrin.

Citing local sources, the organisation stated that the occupation forces transported concrete blocks by heavy vehicles to the villages in the Sherawa district.

On the other hand, Turkish troops are being deployed to the bases in the village of Kimare, from where they carry out attacks against Afrin IDPs in villages in the Shera and Sherawa districts and the nearby Shehba canton.

The Human Rights Organisation Afrin-Syria reported the Turkish army installed wire, towers with thermal cameras, infra-red cameras, night vision glasses, radar and wireless anti-signal devices as well as weapons systems and special lasers on the walls it built in the territories it occupied in northern Syria.

According to the organisation, the Turkish army built walls around the villages of Kîmar, Beradê, Mêremîn and Cilbirê, which are located on the frontlines, on 19 April 2019. The purpose of the construction is to separate the affected areas from Syria.

The organisation said that the Turkish state sought to invade and annex parts of Syria.
