While the Turkish occupation state claims to follow the principles of Islam and calls for the application of the principles of the Islamic religion and its Sharia, what Turkey is doing on the ground is opposite.

What Turkey is doing in terms of displacement and murders, shelling their homes in northern and eastern Syria reveals the falsehood of the Turkish allegations that it seeks to deceive public opinion.

'Uses the Islamic religion as a cover to expand its influence'

On this issue, the head of the religious institution in Manbij and its countryside, Ali Al-Jumaili, says that the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries are bombing populated areas and committing massacres, thus striking all Islamic and human conventions and morals against the wall.

"The bombing is still continuing, at the expense of our land and people, with the aim of expanding their influence in the region, and plundering the country's goods under the pretext of Islam," Ali Al-Jumaili said in an interview with ANHA agency.

And now, in the blessed month of Ramadan, Erdogan and his mercenaries commits crimes in the occupied territories of Syria, and they follow their Ottoman ideology in order to revive the defunct Ottoman Empire that tore up the Middle East for 400 years and facilitated the entry of international colonial powers to it, and it is still in existence. It's goods are plundered. "

'Turkey is weakening the people to extend its hegemony over the region'

Ali Al-Jumaili stressed that Turkey has sought through mercenaries who claim to be revolutionaries and patriots and ended up as Turkey's proxies in the region.

He asked, "If these mercenaries care about Syria, who has taken them to Libya and other countries that Turkey wants to plunder its wealth?"

He continued, saying: "These have become terrorists, hands are stained with blood, and we witnessed recently and at the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan the mercenaries in the occupied territories practicing hideous methods against the people, by imposing fasting on them, especially the Yazidi community in Afrin, under the pretext of applying Islam in the region."

At the end of his speech, Al-Jumaili appealed to the humanitarian and human rights organizations and the international community to stop the crimes and practices of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries in the occupied areas.
