SHENGAL, SIPAN SILO

Turkish Occupation State continues to launch its hostile attacks on Shengal Province, after ISIS mercenaries failed to achieve their goals in emptying Shengal from its indigenous people and exterminating them.

Omar Saleh, head of the Yazidi Freedom and Democracy Party (PADÊ), in an interview with ANHA said: Turkey's goal in launching the attacks is to exterminate the Yazidi community. Turkey seeks to prevent the return of the displaced from Shengal to their land, and threatens from time to time to create tension and chaos.

Head of PADÊ pointed out that Iraqi officials consider Shengal as Iraqi land, saying: If they have to protect Iraq's sovereignty, why are they silent about Turkey's attacks? asserting that Turkey has had many goals in launching attacks as the anniversary of the ISIS mercenary attack on Shangal in August 2014 approaches, "civilians are being bombed, and the car that was being bombed was carrying two Yazidi citizens, so Turkey maintains that it continues to attack and target Yazidis in their territory."

Omar Saleh maintained that Turkey does not accept the Yazidis self-organization neither to build their own institutions, so they are trying by all means to strike this down.
