The Rojava Revolution is the fruit of the 40-year struggle, and the Turkish occupation state continuously targets these gains, in addition to various kinds of crimes that are confirmed by United Nations' reports, it also relies on private warfare continuously.

The Internal Security Forces recently carried out arrest campaign against the spy cells in the region, and it uncovered that the Turkish state intelligence service (MIT) had recruited the needy people to establish a network of spies in the region. Investigations and confessions of the spies revealed a plot to assassinate the Kurdish politicians in Rojava.

The Turkish MIT's worked via local network of spies to form sleeper cells, and investigations revealed that MIT's sleeper cells had planned to assassinate the Members of the Co-Presidency of the Democratic Union Party ( PYD) Aldar Khalil and Saleh Muslim.

(S.A.T) who is aged 55, comes from Zarkan town in the occupied Serêkaniyê region. He was recruited by the Turkish MIT through a person called Badi Ali who is in his fifties and lives in Tal Harmal occupied village. Ali works within the Turkish intelligence and his task is to recruit people for the MIT in the areas of the Autonomous Administrated in NE Syria.

"They asked him to provide them GPS"

After the Revolution of July 19^th, (S.A.T) joined the Internal Security Forces "Asayîş", and worked as driver for one of the Executive Council bodies' officials in Al-Jazeera region following the declaration of the Democratic Autonomous Administration in Al-Jazeera region in 2014.

Badi Ali was already familiar with (S.A.T) when Serêkaniyê was attacked by the Turkish occupation on October 9, 2019, and he contacted him via a Turkish mobile phone number.

(S.A.T) noted: "Badi asked me to provide him with the latest updates about the region, especially on the battle fronts. I told him that I was not a military man, so he asked me to give him the GPS of the Autonomous Administration institutions."

The Turkish intelligence member Badi Ali selection of (S.A.T) was not in vain, as he knows very well that he can reach areas no ordinary person can by virtue of his work as a driver for an official.

After (S.A.T) got busted, it became clear that there were videos on his mobile phone of the sites he mentioned, and coordinates for several other institutions of the Autonomous Administration, in addition to a video that was sent directly to Badi via WhatsApp, in which he says: "Here is the headquarters of the Democratic Union Party. Now, a meeting is going on; tell me if you are going to bomb it so that I can get away from here now."

"The MIT sent him a phone"

The spy (S.A.T) admitted that he recognized an agent named Abu (W) who came from Turkey, and that they worked together for a period of time. He added: "Abu (W) used to work as smuggler and lives in Turkey. He introduced me to a person called Abu (A) during the attack on Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî. We had a normal relationship, and after a while, two people on a motorcycle asked me in Arabic, "Are you S? I told them yes. Then they handed me a black bag which contained a telephone and a Turkish SIM. Later, Abu (A) called me via it and said to me, we have sent you this phone so that no one will be able to track you down. They sent me money too."

"Espionage training"

(S.A.T) also confessed that he received training by the Turkish MIT's spy Abu (A) on the method of learning and providing the GPS via the phone. He said in this context: "After that period, Abu (A) talked me via phone and said, I will teach you how to provide the GPS of any area."

(S.A.T) confessed that the so-called Abu (A) asked him for information about Kurdish politicians in Rojava and locations of SDF fighters.

"In order for this method not to be used in the assassination of Kurdish revolutionaries and politicians."

It is not the first time the Turkish state target Kurdish politicians and revolutionaries. In 2013 the Kurdish militant Sakina Cansiz and her comrades were assassinated in Paris, Mam Zaki in Şengal, Diyar Gharib, Qasim Anakin, and Layla Wan in legitimate defense areas, in addition to many other people who were assassinated by and with the help of local agents and spies. The Turkish state has adopted a plan to assassinate dignitaries and politicians in the region, with the aim of sowing discord among the components. It is clear from the recent confessions of the agent (S.A.T) that the Turkish state continues these methods and plans. However, the Internal Security Forces managed to detect the spies.
