Mohamed Ali Al-Abbo speech came in a statement to Hawar news agency, commenting on the ongoing crimes committed by the Turkish occupation state throughout the Syrian areas occupied by Turkey in north Syria.

There are many forms of crimes committed by the occupation state and its mercenaries against civilians; kidnapping, theft, murder, torture and rape, in addition to pursuing the Turkification and demographic change policies, which threatens the fate of these areas and raises questions about Turkish true intentions.

Mohamed Ali Al-Abbo said: "There are frequent attacks on civilians living in the areas occupied by the Turkish state on an almost daily basis."

He referred to Turkey and its mercenaries' theft of the olive season in Afrin, and said that Turkey is marketing the oil to European countries as Turkish olive oil.

He added: "There are also fierce campaigns carried out by the Turkish occupation state on Ain Issa region and the villages on the fronts of Manbij city, which caused a state of displacement for the people in the contact areas with the Euphrates Shield mercenaries."

Al-Abbo affirmed the resilience of the northeastern regions of Syria in the face of the occupation and its mercenaries, and the continuation of defending the land and all the gains achieved in the region.

The official in the Democratic Civil Administration in Manbij called on the international community to assume its responsibilities regarding the crimes committed by Turkey against civilians in the occupied areas and to investigate them.

Observers of the developments of the situation in the occupied territories believe that the crimes that are committed on a daily basis against the residents of those areas are a Turkish policy aimed at emptying the region of its people, to facilitate the practice of demographic change in the region by forcing the indigenous people to leave and resettle the families of mercenaries loyal to Turkey in their place.

This policy threatens the fate of those Syrian regions which many warn that Turkey will annex to its lands.
