With the support of Qatari and Kuwaiti Brotherhood associations and Turkish implementation, work is underway on the most dangerous colonial project that threatens NE Syria which aims to empty the region of its original inhabitants.

The head of the Turkish regime, Erdogan, has been waving, since the liberation of NE Syria to establish a "safe zone" in Syrian territory with a depth of 30 km under the pretext of protecting his "national security", whereas his goal is to annex the occupied lands to his country's territory.

In this regard, the well-known Walda clan leader, notable Yousef Al-Assaad, said, " Today, Turkey is targeting all the peoples of the region to expand its ambitions at the expense of our land and our Syrian people, in light of these world circumstances that has exploited to implement its plans." .Al-Assaad added, "The process of demographic change that Turkey is tantamount to an occupation, it is a new Iskenderun."

Worth to note that the Turkish occupation state dispossessed the Iskenderun from Syria in 1939, after Turkification and demographic change.

In turn, notable of the Al-Ali clan, Sheikh Ramadan Al-Rahhal, affirmed, " NES's people are one people, and there is no difference between one component and another, our regions will maintain this unity no matter what."

Al-Rahhal considered, "The Turkish allegations are untrue, and it is an excuse to occupy more lands and kill the Syrian people in general.

Al-Rahhal pointed out that "It is the Turkish occupation state that targets our areas, occupied our lands, and displaced our people from Afrin, Ras al-Ain and Tal Abyad, and the Syrian Democratic Forces did not bombard Turkish areas."

At the end of his speech, Al-Rahhal called on "the Arab countries and the international coalition to stop the genocidal war waged by the Turkish occupation on NE Syria, and to put an end to the Ottoman expansion."
