The statement began by recalling the record of massacres, extermination and blood of the ancient and modern Ottoman Empire against the people. "The Turkish State has a record of massacres in the region against peoples both in the days of the Ottoman Sultanate and in the days of the modern Turkish State founded by Atatürk. All those who govern in Turkey continue to follow the same approach and thinking. "

"The twenty-fourth of April marks a painful anniversary for the whole region, as it witnessed massacres and a real extermination of the Armenian-Syriac Assyrian people brutally at the hands of the Ottomans in the period of the First World War. These massacres that led to displacement, murder, and detention are considered the most criminal massacres of the 20th century. "

The statement also recalled the massacres committed by the Ottomans against the Kurdish people. "The Zilan massacre by the Turkish state against Kurd in Bakur Kurdistan in 1930, as well as the Dirsem massacre between 1937 and 1939, which completely destroyed the city, as well as the well-known Ottoman massacres against Arabs from the Marja massacre of 1916, to the massacre of 10,000 Egyptians in one day in 1517, as well as the Karbala massacre of rebels against the Ottoman 1842. And also the Al-Jawazi massacres in the city of Benghazi in the state of Burka at the time in eastern Libya in 1816, in which more than ten thousand members of one tribe were killed by the Ottomans.

The statement explained that the Ottoman bloody approach is a historical legacy inherited by all the rulers who assume power in Turkey, and the same scenario is repeated, from time to time, to revive that legacy. In proving their bloody history, so Turkey was a pioneer in the alliance with ISIS and supported it in the period in which it appeared and until now, the fact that ISIS represents the true face of Turkey and translates its actions, so Turkey and ISIS met on the unity of the goal, which is annihilation, killing and destruction.

"Turkey is fighting all the peoples who are fighting today for their decision and will, so the best solution is for the peoples to fight together against the liquidation and extermination schemes that Turkey wants, otherwise it will seek to replicate what happened in history and with the same mindset and approach."

The statement called on "the international community to hold Turkey accountable for all the actions and practices it has committed and is still in the region, from those massacres that hundreds of years passed through to the massacres that it is doing today everywhere it reaches its hand, especially in the modern period in which it openly allied itself with the powers and organizations The terrorist group is from ISIS/Daesh and its counterparts, and it carries out killings, forced displacement and extermination at all levels, as Afrin, Ras al-Ain and Girê Spi - Tal Abyad are today subjected to the same massacres, and it shares with the Armenians, Arabs and Kurds in Bakur that it is exterminated and its people are displaced by the same executioner and the same criminal.

In its conclusion, the statement stressed, "We also affirm that AANES model, based in its essence on coexistence and brotherhood of peoples, and the democratic nation project is sufficient to achieve the unity and solidarity of peoples and the common struggle against all schemes that seek liquidation and annihilation of the right of any people or component, in the presence of millions of victims who have killed at the hand of the Ottoman Empire and its predecessors today, we affirm the continuation of the struggle for the unity of peoples and their rights to hold accountable all those who have a hand in these genocides, past and present.
