SOLIN RASHID /AL_SHAHBA

Hawar news agency (ANHA) held interview with the administrator of the Democratic Society Movement TEV_DEM Hassan Koçer to discuss political and field developments in Syria in general and northern Syria in particular.

Russia's goal is to get rid of mercenary gangs

Koçer pointed to the Russian plan on Syria centered on collecting mercenary gangs in the region and then eliminating and getting rid of them" Russia is amassing mercenaries in Idlib with the aim of getting rid of them all, and the reason is that mercenaries cannot participate in the political process for the future of Syria which is the talk of the moment.

Turkey seeks to complicate the Syrian crisis

Koçer noted that since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, Turkey has been working to complicate the crisis and to obstruct the development of democratic forces. From the beginning, Turkey has supported the terrorist factions such as Jabhit al-Nusra and Daesh, Turkey for these reasons, does not want to hand over the areas under its domination to the Syrian regime

He pointed out that Turkey is still trying to deceive the public opinion about its relations with mercenary gangs," he said, adding "Turkey's placing Jabhit al-Nusra on the terrorism list is an attempt to deceive public opinion and to claim that it is against terrorism because the mercenary factions have not responded to the Turkish request to surrender and insisted on fighting. Had these factions agreed to the Turkish demands, Turkey's position towards them was different.

Options for the future of the situation in Idlib

Hassan touched up the future of the situation in Idlib and said that the situation in Idlib will not solve simply and easily and likely two possibilities for the future of Idlib, the first relates to the Russian-Turkish understandings on persuading mercenaries to surrender themselves to the regime, "This case will be aggregated and directing mercenaries to Afrin and al-Bab, The presence of mercenaries in al-Bab supports the Turkish project in Manbij, and their presence in Afrin obstacles Afrin liberation's campaign."

The second possibility, according to Koçer , is war if the political agreement fails, and this war will last long, because the existing factions have taken their military measures and it is possible that there will be major massacres in the city of Idlib, especially since there are allegations of chemical weapons. "

Turkey's occupation of Syrian territory means dividing the country

Koçer said that any other plans include the survival of the Turkish occupation in Syria and this means dividing Syria into areas of influence "Where each force will control its areas of influence and pursue its interests, the only option to prevent the division of Syria is solidarity of the Syrian people and consolidating a decentralized democratic system in Syria, and no other solution.”

The only option for the people of Afrin is liberation

Hassan also spoke about the situation of civilians in Afrin under the continuous violations by the Turkish occupation army and mercenary gangs, which "amount to massacres in the midst of global silence."

He ended his speech saying "The people of Afrin, who are living in al-Shahba canton, organized themselves in all respects, and the decision of Afrin residents is one word: the liberation of Afrin with determination and insistence."
