‘Turkey wants to avenge ISIS’

Cihad Omer of the Local Administrations Board of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria warned against Turkey’s attacks and threats to occupy Syrian territories, saying, “These attacks target all the peoples of Syria without distinction."

The Democratic Union Party (PYD) Hesekê organization held a second public meeting to discuss the latest developments in the region.

Speaking at the meeting, Cihad Omer, co-chair of the Nature and Local Administrations Board of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, pointed to the Turkish state’s threats against North-East Syria and the latest developments in the region.

“These attacks are part of a plan seeking to expand the Ottoman Empire by dividing the peoples in the Middle East,” Omer said.

Warning against Turkey’s attacks and threats to occupy Syrian territory, Omer noted, “These attacks target all the peoples of Syria without distinction. “

Omer stated that the Turkish state took revenge on North-East Syrian peoples for ISIS mercenaries because they had frustrated Turkey’s plans by defeating its partner.

Remarking that the people of North and East Syria reorganized themselves under the roof of the Autonomous Administration and would stand firm against attacks, Omer said that the occupying Turkish state threatened the security and stability of the region, as well as the entire Syrian land and culture, while it on the other hand impeded the fight against ISIS and thus prevented the solution of the Syrian crisis.

“The Syrian people can make their own decision and they should reject the occupation attempts and division of Syrian lands,” Omer concluded.
