AA commemorates Seyfo massacres' victims, invites to deter Turkey form its atrocities

Today, June 15, commemorates the massacres of Seyfo in 1915 committed against the Assyrian Syriac Chaldean people at the hands of the Ottomans, resulted in the killing thousands of civilians.

On this anniversary, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria issued a statement to the public opinion, through which it indicated that the massacres express the Ottoman approach and policy that Turkey continues to pursue.

The text of the statement is:

"The fifteenth of June marks the anniversary of the tragedy and massacres of Seyfo committed by the Ottomans against the Assyrian Syriac Chaldean people; as well as the Armenian people, these massacres that express the Ottoman approach and policy that are almost never erased from history or from the present; where Turkey and its mercenaries still perpetrate the massacres daily in the areas that had been occupied in Syria.

What is happening in Afrin and other occupied areas, and what mercenaries with Turkish support are trying to do in the predominantly Christian areas in Khabour, are policies and direction that are absolutely indivisible from those they did during the massacres of Seyfo.

While we commemorate all the victims of the 1915 Seyfo massacres and all the victims of Turkey’s massacres throughout history, we are turning to the United Nations, the international community, and all relevant parties, in the Autonomous Administration of North and Eastern Syria, the necessity to follow the necessary measures after Turkey was formally condemned in the American Congress as a reason Those massacres, even if the recognition was late. We also call for the necessity of deterring Turkey, led by Erdogan, from what it is doing against the peoples of the region, through its interventions and support for terrorists and mercenaries, for silence about what Erdogan is adopting today is a stigma that will not disappear, and freeing his hand to commit more massacres.

The world must move and shoulder its responsibilities towards the Turkish role, which will bring more chaos and conflict and consecrate the genocide approach of all kinds. "
