​​​​​​​TEV-DEM calls upon international society to put an end of the Turkish occupation crimes

On Wednesday, TEV-DEM issued a statement reads:

In light of the silence of the international community and a veiled agreement of the countries concerned with the Syrian issue, Afrin region was subjected four years ago to the fiercest terrorist and fascist attack launched by the Turkish fascist occupation army by air and land, with the participation of many mercenary factions, using in its first raid seventy-two warplanes with the aim of occupying the region, obliterating its culture and denying its historical values through Multiple barbaric political and military methods to achieve its expansionist dreams and imagination.

What Afrin region and its residents expose to during 4 years of the fascist Turkish occupation and its mercenaries till this day, violating all international laws and norms, but increased its atrocities violating all human rights and moral values and with its continuations of abductions, rapes and murders on daily basis and the imposition of a policy of surrender on the will of our people in Afrin.

Turkish occupation state and its mercenaries has turned Afrin region to commercial commodity as result of the looting and stealing of their property, archaeological values and natural resources and the sale of them on the world market. On the other hand, the most serious is the deployment of the armed factions on the Syrian lands, the assassinations inside the region, imposing the ransom on the Kurds, as well as making demographic change in the region in establishing the settlements and resettle the strangers instead of the indigenous residents, and this we consider a chauvinistic, illegal and dangerous project carried out by the Turkish occupying state as a beginning of their project and schemes known as Misak-ı Millî Chauvinist.

The indigenous people and peoples of Afrin live in an organized disaster, facing the scourge of mass genocide and criminal acts of physical and psychological torture as a result of arbitrary and random arrests and a systematic policy of ethnic cleansing aimed at terrorizing people and forcing them to deny their culture or to die in the front of the eyes of the international community. Even al-Shahba Camps have not been spared from these dirty policies as they face a real humanitarian catastrophe, surrounded by daily Turkish bombing and siege and famine policies imposed by the Damascus Authority, exploiting international silence. This reduce legal and rights responsibility in the structure of the international community's system.

We in the TEV-DEM movement are calling on all institutions, civil society organizations and all international organizations concerned about human rights and women's rights for these immoral crimes. We appeal to international public opinion, in particular the United Nations, to take bold and clear positions in condemning and denouncing the crimes to which humanity is guilty, to work to remove the Turkish occupier and its mercenaries from all Syrian areas and to ensure the safe return of all IDPs to their homes.
