2 years passed on ceasefire; unilateral commitment by SDF, continued breach by Turkey

Ceasefire Agreement has been violated many times, it has been forgotten due to the Turkey’s ongoing aggression against various areas in NE, Syria, committing war crimes, as well as exodus the residents from their villages in the front of the Russian guarantor that entered the region two years ago.

According to the understandings between the two presidents (Russia, Turkey) on October 22nd, 2019 after the Turkish aggression on Serêkaniyê/Ras al-Ain and Girê Spî/Tal Abyad, SDF was forced to withdraw from the full border strip with Turkey with distance 32 km depth of the Syrian lands to remove the Turkish fake, in which sought to annex more Syrian borders areas.

But the Russian guarantee did not lift a finger about these violation, according to was singed with Turkish occupation to monitor the Ceasefire Agreement that extend from Jazira region to Euphrates region, Manbij to Shabah canton in northern Syria, Russia still ignores all the violations that committed by Turkey and its gangs that targeted civilians in the most horrific ways.

On Wednesday, Turkish UAV targeted civilian car in Kobani City, resulting in the martyrdom 2 civilians, wounding 3 others.

Turkish escalation and affiliated gangs

According to SDF military sources that 450 attacks were carried out by heavy weapons from Turkish sites, as well as to nearly 90 infiltration operations carried out by groups affiliated with Turkey within two years; In the areas located on the international road M4, in which Turkey gangs have lost large number of its soldiers thanks the brave resistance of our fighters.

Over two years, as monitored by ANHA 's correspondents; 48 villages in Tal Tamr and Ain Issa districts, Shahba and Manbij areas were hit by Turkish artillery and rocket fire, along with the cluster bombs recently used by Turkey in its aggression.

Within 9 months, the Turkish occupation forces established 12 new military bases in the areas of Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî, bringing the total of military bases to 20, along the M4 international road and around the towns of Tal Tamr and Ain Issa.

Turkish attacks coincided with the withdrawal of Russian forces and the emptying of their military bases in some cases from areas that witnessed Turkish aggression.

Erdogan threatened on the 11th of October; At a press conference from the capital, Ankara, an aggression was launched targeting safe areas in NE, Syria.

During meeting held by ANHA agency with Bedran Çiya Kurd, vice co-chairmanship of the Executive Council of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, talked about some important points of the so - called "ceasefire operation."

Bedran Çiya Kurd explains that "the Russian-Turkish agreement was preceded by a few days, an agreement between Washington and Ankara on 17th October; Trump then demanded that the Turkish state stop at its drawn lines; Between the area from Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî 30 km deep inside Syrian territory, following the aggression authorized by the United States, that Turkey sought it to achieve in occupying the area between the territories of the Jazira and the Euphrates. "

"The withdrawal of the United States from Manbij, Raqqa and Kobani areas came in coordination with Russia, so the agreement between Erdogan and Putin was to coordinate together in NE, Syria, and there is absolutely no agreement between AANES and Turkey."
Although the Russian government has shown some shy attitude towards Turkish actions in NE, Syria, as opposed to deal both sides in Idlib issue, Turkish attempts appear to be in the context of creating chaos and instability under constant and uninterrupted aggression.

the ongoing Turkish attacks are helping to revive ISIS '

On the position of the guarantor States, Bedran Çiya Kurd said that "the silence of the guarantor States as a result of the crimes committed by Turkey; it is a problem for those States that have agreed with Turkey on stop the operations of ceasefire agreement, which means breaching the terms of the Agreement, "adding," The guarantor forces must be more active and adopt stricter positions against Turkish practices. Silence encourages the Turkish state to commit new violations against civilians without any indifference. "

On the impact of Turkish attacks on the process of eliminating ISIS/ Daesh cells, he considers that the ongoing Turkish attacks are helping to revive ISIS/ Daesh, which threatens security and stability in the region.

The daily attacks caused large numbers of Syrian citizens to be displaced to European countries, creating a regional and international crisis.

Damascus Government escalation against the parties comes for a number of reasons

Over the course of two years, ANHA agency has documented the exposure of dozens of positions to Turkish artillery and rocket fire by Damascus Government forces, killing and wounding many, while Damascus Government had not shelled any Turkish sources of fire.

He went on to say that, the Damascus Government is unable to take any steps towards resolving the crisis in the country at the present time. "The international forces present in Syria must play a more positive role in this regard and work in a manner commensurate with their responsibilities."

About Damascus escalating the tone of its rhetoric against Turkey, he said, “Given the American - Russian consensus on some of the complex issues in the Syrian crisis, there seems to be a common vision and solutions to some of these issues and the sharing of roles between Moscow and Washington, especially since Washington seemed more flexible in its policy towards Damascus on the one hand."

On the other hand, there are mutual relations between Arab countries and the government in Damascus, these moves have affected the position of the government, which believes that it is regaining its power and that it will seek to assert control over the entire Syrian geography, the letters from Damascus are clear that it calls on all countries to withdraw from Syria.

Bedran Çiya Kurd, vice co-chairmanship of the Executive Council of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, called upon the government in Damascus to change its existing positions and mindsets, to deal with the Syrian crisis in accordance with the realities and to promote Syria- National dialogue and solidarity to end the occupation in the country.

Member of the General Command of the Syrian Democratic Forces, SDF, Newroz Ahmed, during a lengthy dialogue by ANHA agency; On the second anniversary of the occupation of Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî, she noted that "it is possible that there will be undisclosed agreements between the Russian and Turkish sides, that Russia can stop Turkish attacks targeting our regions on a daily basis, that they can stop massacres against civilians."

Newroz said that Russia was unclear in its position as a guarantor force in the region, and that that created the impression that Moscow had targets behind its silence under Turkish violations.

Newroz Ahmed also noted that their forces were obliged to defend and respond to Turkish violations militarily, creating insecurity and frequent breaches under the Russian position, as well as the silence of the United States and the countries of the Global Coalition.

Exodus Operations

During his meeting with Russian President Putin in Sochi during the October 2019 ceasefire talks, Erdogan noted that Turkey was hosting 3 million and 650,000 Syrians, including allegedly 350,000 Kurdish citizens, noting that Ankara would facilitate the return of Syrian refugees.

According to the figures, during the occupation of Afrin, Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî, the Turkish state displaced approximately 600,000 indigenous people from their homes.
the residents of 12 villages were abandoned after being systematically destroyed on the outskirts of the M4 international road in the northern Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî, after 30 citizens lost their lives, including women and children, during Turkish attacks over the last two years, including the "Debis and Safaweya massacre.”

The bombardment by UAVs

Turkey has not stopped the provocations in the eyes of the "Russian guarantor," and has repeatedly targeted the civilians’ homes and Internal Security Force posts, with UAVs missiles, in conjunction with patrolling.

A Turkish air bombardment led to the martyrdom of 3 Kurdish women in the village of Halling near the city of Kobani on June 23, 2020, while the General Center of the Internal Security Forces in the center of Kobani city was bombed by UAV weeks before that.

A similar bombing also wounded 6 people, including 3 Russian soldiers, in the town of Ad-Darbasiya in Jazira region in July 2020, weeks later another UAV targeted Mazri village near Deirk City that led to the death two civilians.

Turkey's Water weapon against north and east Syria

In addition, the Turkish government continues to reduce the water rate of the Euphrates River flowing into Syrian territory, in a catastrophic diversion of the country's largest rivers during the past 9 months, the reduction river has posed a problem in providing drinking water to the people of north and east Syria, as well as reduced electricity generation hours and a 500-kilometre reduction in local production of agricultural land on the river banks.

And 100 international and local humanitarian and human rights organizations concerned with the environment condemned the policies of the Turkish occupation, which turned water into a political weapon against civilians in north and east Syria, and the whole of Syria and Iraq, and stressed the filing of a lawsuit against it for violating public international law and international norms in the "International Water Forum in North and East Syria" last September 27-28.
