The ANHA news agency reports that Turkey transferred 100 Syrian youths from Turkey to the occupied territories in northwestern Syria via the Bab al-Salama border crossing in Azaz yesterday (Monday).

Local sources from Azaz further stated that the youths have temporary protection documents and documents proving how long they have been in Turkey. However, the Turkish government is sending them back based on its plan to settle one million Syrian refugees in the occupied areas of northern Syria. The Turkish occupying state is trying to impose a policy of demographic change in the region.
