He added: "The earthquake disaster came at a time when the peoples of the region, foremost among them the Kurdish people, are under the blows of destructive projects, foremost of which is the so-called neo-Ottomanism that Erdogan wants. Turkey sees the earthquake disaster as an opportunity to strengthen its old and new policies of displacing the Kurds and continuing the quest for demographic change and bringing about new engineering." A new situation for the region and a new administrative reality in preparation for its separation in the manner of the regions that the successive Turkish regimes have repeatedly done, and we find the moment that the extremist factions and mercenaries affiliated with the Turkish regime tend to the same policy of killing, banditry and tampering with properties of civilians, and they were not content with preventing aid and relief to the victims only Rather, they worked on looting and stealing from the destroyed homes, and they lost all human scruples when they began to remove the dead and injured from their possessions of money and jewelry, and left the bodies in the open.

Stressing that "the regimes of central tyranny found in the disaster of the earthquake an opportunity to uproot the Kurdish people from their homeland, and prevented cooperation and solidarity among their people to heal their wounds, and even prevented them from international rescue and relief teams, and their policies in this regard are devoid of all human values and they are still practicing all forms of repression and persecution to displace it and thus Trying not to have any role in every region he lives in, whether it is in Turkey or Syria.
