The Turkish occupation army imposed circulation of the Turkish currency in the occupied areas as a proactive step to link those areas economically to the Turkish interior and work on separating them later, following the scenario of the Iskenderun Brigade.

On Turkish interference in Syrian affairs, our news agency held a meeting with member of the Presidency Body in the Syria Democratic Council, Mari al-Shibli.

We must go back in history to derive the present

Al-Shibli noted that: “Unfortunately, what is happening in Syria of circulating the Turkish currency in some areas of the occupied Syrian north is a natural result of what matters have become in the region. So we must go back in history to derive the present, as the Cilicia regions were part of the Arab world But the Turkey annexed it to its territories. "

Al-Shibli continued his speech by saying: "In the matter of the Iskenderun Brigade, because of the complicity of the French Mandate, Turkey was able to annex it, so we call it the stolen brigade because it was taken from the Syrian geography. ".

The resources of the region are under threat of the occupation

On the reasons for the Turkish incursion, Al-Shibli explained that the goal of the occupation is to plunder the goods of the people, and flaying the Iskenderun Brigade is the best evidence of this. It has to impose a demographic change, then the economic one. Most of the Syrian Iskenderun Brigade people were displaced and replaced by Turks. Projects were established in it to link the economy to the pillars of the Turkish state.

The policy of Turks separated the people and recruited them as mercenaries

On the implications of the Turkification in the occupied territories, Al-Shibli said: " Circulation of the Turkish lira is the result of the Turkification. Your national currency is your identity. When you deal in the Turkish lira, you accept the Turkish identity, which is rejected categorically, because it is a continuation of the skinning projects to which the northern Syria is exposed. "

Al-Shibli continued his speech: "Unfortunately, we are a torn people. Some of us went to Libya on Erdogan's orders. So the Syrian citizen is not only killing the Syrian in Syria, but he went beyond the borders to kill the Syrians, all of that is the result of the Turkification."

The new  global system ... is that of chaos

Al-Shibli also noted that the international community silence goes in the policy of interests. He said: “Unfortunately, the so-called new world order can be described as a system of global chaos. "They beat drunken people violating the sovereignty of Iraq, bomb and sabotage in this global chaos. They may reach even further if they do not find a deterrent, because interests dominate."

Our national project is a non-separatist ...

Al-Shibli said during his speech that despite the difficult circumstances in Syria, they deal only with the Syrian currency, saying: "We did not use in the Autonomous-Democratic Administration of foreign currencies despite the deterioration of the Syrian currency. We are Syrians, we do not call for a separatist project, we always repeat that our project for the brotherhood of the peoples, it is for the whole region, Kurds, Arabs and Syriac.

Al-Shibli concluded his speech by referring to the importance of Kurdish unity in these circumstances. He said: "Kurdish national unity has an important role at this stage to get rid of this brutal enemy, and if the peoples do not move, the cities of al-Bab, Afrin and Azaz will be annexed  as the Alexandron Brigade was."
