Turkey builds settlement for gangs in Yazidi village in Afrin

The Turkish occupation army is building settlements in the Yazidi villages of occupied Afrin to accommodate its mercenaries there.

According to the Afrin’s Human Rights Organization, a new settlement is being constructed in the vicinity of the Yazidi village of Bafloon, in Sherawa countryside of Afrin, under the name of "cooperation camp”. The settlement is set to accommodate 70 families of Turkey-sponsored armed groups affiliated with pro-Turkey Syrian Brotherhood Movement.

According to the organization, the occupation authorities, through their local councils, have also distributed the confiscated land of forcibly displaced native Kurds to 70 settler families from the northern countryside of Aleppo and the families of the armed Islamists around Bafloon village. Besides, 200 US dollars are given to each family per month to encourage them.

“Multiple projects of this kind have recently been inaugurated in Afrin by Muslim Brotherhood charity organizations, that receive funds from the States of Qatar and Kuwait, including building settlements and allocation of appropriated farming lands in a systematic policy to change the demographic composition of the region under humanitarian claims of helping Syrian refugees.”

The organization noted that; “Foreign charities are also being deceived into contributing to raise funds for these dirty projects that serve Erdogan's goals and the last of which was the German Welthungerhilfe.”

Welthungerhilfe which is one of Germany's biggest private organizations for development and humanitarian aid, was about to clad, fix and furnish 400 seized flats inside Afrin. But following a petition by 28 human rights and civil society groups, the German charity withdrew its offer.
