Two years have passed on Afrin occupation by the Turkish occupation state and its mercenaries, as they changed the features of Afrin.

Ahmed Bilal, father of the martyr "Niddal" indicated that: "The attacks on Afrin aimed at exterminating the Kurdish people, as they massacred civilians, not to mention the theft of civilians property."

Regarding heading to al-Shahba Canton, Ahmed said: “We left Afrin for fear of massacres against civilians, but the Turkish occupation was not satisfied with that. Rather, it committed many massacres in al-Shahba, especially in Tal Rifaat, targeting civilians periodically with missiles and heavy weapons. "

Ahmed concluded his speech by saying, "The silence of the Damascus government and the international community gives legitimacy to the Turkish state to commit massacres against civilians."

As for Shahristan Karad, she denounced the crimes of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries against the people of Afrin: “After their occupation of Afrin, they committed many crimes and violations against civilians, especially women and children.”

She continued: “They carry out demographic change in the region by removing civilians from their homes and settling mercenary families in them in committing massacres against civilians. "

Saleh Mustafa said: “The Turkish occupation state is exterminating the Kurdish people and targeting our culture, antiquities and imposing royalties on Afrin’s original inhabitants, not to mention hundreds of women who have been kidnapped. Their fate is unknown. "

At the end of his speech, Saleh asked: "Where are the human rights organizations to perform their duty towards the people of Afrin? We Afrin will not accept these violations, and we will continue to resist until Afrin returns to its original inhabitants."
