The citizen Ahmed al-Saleh, 85-year-old, eyewitness narrates how he saw 40 citizens from the Kurdish component were slaughtered in al-Raqqa city by IS.

Al-Saleh mentions the facts of that incident, saying that Turkey has a hand in it. The events took place when IS entered the city of al-Raqqa in 2014.

He added" 40 people from the Kurds collected in the roundabout in al-Raqqa city, were slaughtered by IS, the ones who slaughtered them were speaking Turkish language."

Eyewitness Ahmed al-Saleh said this massacre which is classified in the field of ethnic cleansing practiced against the Kurds, Turkey is accused to do that, and it is not unlikely that those who spoke Turkish are elements of Turkish intelligence "MIT".

The people killed there were arrested and killed by IS without being charged with specific charges, the only charge was their Kurdish identity.

He explained that one of the slaughtered was from his relatives: the son of Mustafa Jawish, who was arrested in Tel-Abyed when occupied by IS.

Saleh said, "We left our land and our property and we stayed in Tel-Hajab, ever since, fearing of the Turkish barbaric killing of the innocent Kurdish citizens in these areas."

Al-Raqqa city was occupied by IS since 2014, until it was liberated by Syrian Democratic Forces in 17 October 2017.
