Politicians decry KDP's role in Tal Hasel and Tal Aran massacre

On July 27-28-29, 2013, mercenary groups bearing many names and affiliated with the Turkish occupation army launched an attack on the Kurdish-majority villages of Tal Hasel and Tal Aran, located in the southeast of Aleppo, resulting in a massacre that killed nearly 50 civilians.

On the subject and in order to examine the causes and events that took place at the time, the massacre committed on the order of the Turkish Fascist Government and the silence of the Damascus Government, ANHA agency met with both the member of the General Council of the Democratic Union Party, Badran Hamo, and the member of the Presidential Council, SDC, Mar'i al - Shibli, who talked about the circumstances surrounding the massacre.

Member of the General Council of the Democratic Union Party, Badran Hamo, saw that the massacre, which entered its eighth year, left a pivotal imprint in the formation of the nucleus of the defense of the entire territory of North and East Syria, represented by the Syrian Democratic Forces.

He said that the attack on Tal Hasel and Tal Aran was open to question, primarily because of the outcome of the meeting that Turkey had with its mercenary led by the mercenary "Abdul Jabbar Al-Akidi" on June 24^th, 2013.

Hamo continued by stressing that the Turkish state had withdrawn mercenaries are stationed in the vicinity of Homs following an agreement with Damascus Government to direct them towards the towns of Tal Aran and Tal Hasal.

"As we know, Aleppo has strategic place in all respects, and the attacks came to put it on the list of areas claimed to be placed under the influence of the Turkish occupation army."

He pointed out that the launch of the "July 19^th Revolution" contributed greatly to influencing the people of the two towns and making them organize themselves after a real absence of the necessities of life following the marginalization they suffered at the hands of the Damascus Government.

He noted that the massacre committed in the Holy month of Ramadan, which is considered as holy month of the Islamic religion, these mercenary factions who claim Islam committed the massacre in Ramadan month last year, citing by recommendations of Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi to prevent the outbreak of wars in the month of Ramadan is evidence of its sanctity, and worldwide turns a blind eye about the massacre that committed at that time.

On the lack of seriousness of the Democratic Party's discussions, Hamo said that "the reprehensible reactions at that time, especially from the representatives of the Kurdish people, led the Democratic Party to agree to set up a committee to enter Tal Hasel and Tal Aran to investigate those massacres, but they were not serious about the practical application on the ground of what had been agreed upon."

Member of the General Council of the Democratic Union Party, Badran Hamo, said in conclusion that the solution to these attacks by the "new Ottoman" through its arms was about the possibility of achieving Kurdish unity and the unity of peoples among all parties and the primacy of the public interest over personal interests.

Member of the Presidential Council of the Syrian Democratic Council, Mar'i al - Shibli, noted that nationalist regimes such as the Turkish and Syrian regimes share the mind of suppressing the people by devoting state policy to the service of one color and one race.

Al-Shibli considered that this policy had brought woes to the region, and continued: "The 1960s witnessed the displacement of the Kurdish people by the Syrian regime when it was called the Arab Belt Plan, one of the plans of the nationalist State system. The expulsion of Arabs from the Sanjak of Alexandretta by Turkey is classified in the same line."

As for the Turkish arguments to interfere in the Syrian crisis, Al- Shibli said, "Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, we have seen Turkey's preparations to interfere in the crisis and to create arguments to strike Kurdish areas in particular, including linking all Kurds to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) to the legitimacy of its interference and the killing of Kurds, which happened in the villages of Tal Hasel and Tal Aran.

In the midst of his talk, he pointed out that Tal-Aran and Tal Hasel "mediate defence laboratories, the Kuweires Military Airport and Aleppo airport, as well as the military research building where biological industries take place. mercenary factions left all those military sites belonging to the regime at that time and attacked two villages where civilians lived in response to the defence of their village."

Member of the Presidential Council, SDC, Mar'i al-Shibli, described the "heinous" massacre of the two villages, which even targeted children and women, and says in this regard that "the choice of surrender was not available to the people of the two villages, although it would not bring them security and peace. The assailants came with the intention of killing and vandalism."

Member of the Presidential Council in SDC, Mar’i al-Shibli ended his speech, stressing that the massacres committed against the Syrian people are still continuing by mercenaries that differ in names only, and are supported by Turkey or by the Damascus Government.
