AL-HASAKAH – BASIL AL-RASHEED

The logic and mentality of the AKP led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is the same as that of authoritarian or political Islam, which exploits Islam as a mean for creating forces and conflicts among countries components and peoples in the Middle East, so that it can expand its control and governance, and distort the Islamic religion on the whim of its interests.

Erdogan has crowded his Turkish army and its mercenaries in all wars fronts and countries where it has intervened and occupied several territories in the NE war-torn Syria. It did the same in the Libyan war where it sided with the Government of National Accord and in Armenia.

On September 27, Armenia announced that Azerbaijan launched an attack on the Karabakh and Artsag region, backed by Turkey and its fanatic affiliated Syrian mercenaries, in an approach followed by his Ottoman ancestors against the Armenians and components in the Middle East.

The Armenian and Assyrian of Al-Hasakah canton have voiced their anger at the Turkish policies against Armenia in particular, stressing that the Turkish occupation seeks to repeat the notorious massacres that it committed against them previously.

'Peacemakers'

Arif Nerses, Co-chair of the Armenian Social Council in northeast Syria, condemned the attacks and massacres by Azerbaijan and its ally Turkey against the Armenian people and all components of the Middle East.

During her speech, Nerses indicated that they do not want to repeat the massacres that were committed against them and other components previously, which are still ongoing, and she said, "We are advocates of peace, not wars."

Member of the Armenian Council in Al-Hasakah Province, Aitan Tatrian, explained that it targets the minorities and all countries that it deems a threat to its capitalist policies, such as the Kurds and Armenians.

Tatrian stressed during his speech that it is necessary for all countries to put an end to the Turkish occupation violations against the peoples and coexisting components of the Middle East.

For his part, the head of the Assyrian People's Assembly in Al-Hasakah canton, Ilyas Antar Elias, said, “The dirty history is repeating itself. As it committed crimes against the Armenian, Assyrian, Syriac, Yazidi, and Arab.

'Is not it enough for killing and destruction'

Antar pointed out that the Turkish occupation aims to restore the Ottoman history based on the massacres again. He stressed that all the oppressed are against the Turkish hegemony.

He wondered, "Is not it enough for you, Erdogan, to kill and destroy ... Is not it enough for what you did in Syria, Iraq and Libya, and Armenia? Do you want to eliminate this safe people?"

At the end of his speech, he appealed to the whole world to stand up to the Turkish interference and "Erdogan's bullying" which imposes its hegemony and conditions on the whole world.
