These barbaric attacks launched by the Turkish aggression are not based on any justifications and does not take into account any customs and laws. With its aggression, it follows a scorched earth policy and destroys the region to make it a historical hotbed of conflict that will last for decades, as was the case with the Ottoman Empire and the successive governments of the fascist authority in Turkey.”

The statement added, "It is the Syrian national duty and the moral and humanitarian duty of all active forces in Syria and human rights and humanitarian organizations and bodies to realize the dangers of these attacks launched on our regions, their negative consequences, and their local and regional effects, this aggression, in light of the siege and terrorism that threatens the region and the entire world and stifles opportunities for solution and stability, is nothing but an approach of extermination and destruction, It is targeting the values and morals of the international community in the geography of our regions that are fighting terrorism and trying to end it, and targeting Syria’s unity and sovereignty in the geography of NE Syria and its service institutions.”
