We also know where our interest lies in our unity and the completion of the path we have started with each other, we have been living on this land for hundreds of years."

Syrian Democratic Forces are our sons, they are the sons of Syria and all of them were born on this land and they have grown up in it. They have to defend it and all the soil of Syria. Wherever the presence of Syrian Democratic Forces SDF is required, then our sons will be ready to do the precious and good for the honor and dignity of the people."

As for the meetings held by Turkey with the so-called notables and people of North and East of Syria, said al-Deeb: "The Sheikhs who gathered in Azaz city ,demanding the intervention of Turkey, I respond to them," Everyone who is existed in Turkey will do orders of Turkey, otherwise, they would be expelled and will speak in accordance with their aggressive policy, the person who represents this foreign agenda is not considered a member of Syria, the people of Syria are on Syrian soil, who are the decision-makers who are the owners of the will, who share their people's joys and tragedies, who share bread with them, while those who live in hotels represent only their personal interests

One of the notable of al-Sabkha clan, Sheikh Mohammed Turki al-Suwan, said, "Erdogan remains threatening us for 100 years, and we do not care, we are in our country and we have not threatened Turkey or its security...

"Erdogan, who says that there is a request from the Arab and Kurdish of clans' notables to enter Turkey in North Syria , this talk is not valid, if there are honorable people who are existed in North and East of Syria, and the honorable ones whom Erdogan intended were only traitors, who sold the country and looted its goods, the honorable ones who resisted remained on the ground, we have made sacrifices to preserve our freedom and our dignity, every family here has been hurt by Erdogan and his actions by supporting of IS ."

At the end of his speech, al-Suwan said: "We, as sheikhs and clans' notables and al-Raqqa people, young and old, we will be alongside of Syrian Democratic Forces SDF in one trench and we will defend every inch of Syrian territory."
