 As soon as ISIS mercenaries reached the outskirts of the city of Kobani in October 2014, thousands of Kurds gathered on the border coming from different areas in Northern Kurdistan to express their solidarity with the resistance.

Dozens of fighters in the neighborhoods of the city of Kobani resisted the global threat "ISIS" in the Syrian geography, and it quickly turned into international event in Asia, Europe and Latin America, declaring November 1st as the International Day of Solidarity with the Kobani resistance.

 Battle of Kobani

 On September 15, 2014, ISIS launched an attack from 3 axes towards the city of Kobani with the participation of thousands of mercenaries from around the world.

 Turkey ordered ISIS to attack Kobani in northern and eastern Syria, after declaration the Autonomous Administration in Rojava, which angered the occupying Turkish state and other regional countries.

 After four years of Kobani victory, the Syrian Democratic Forces announced the defeat of ISIS in syria, following liberation the town of Baghouz in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, on the border with Iraq, in March 2019.

 Turkey could not accept defeating of its ally ISIS, so it launched an aggression on the Afrin canton in January 2018, months after the Syrian Democratic Forces liberated the city of Raqqa from ISIS. Furthermore, Turkey and its mercenary groups displaced hundreds of thousands of Kurds and Arabs from their homes.

 Turkey resumed its attacks, launching a brutal attack targeting the border areas of Serekaniye/Ras al-Ain and Gire Spi/Tal Abyad in the fall of 2019, with an American green light after the latter withdrew from large areas in NE Syria; the attack came months after the defeat of ISIS in Baghouz.

  ISIS represents Turkey's tool in Syria

 There is no doubt that the occupying Turkish state is still the biggest supporter of ISIS. Pictures of Turkish soldiers and ISIS working together on the Turkish-Syrian border spread in those years, and the fact that the Turkish consulate in Mosul was transferred to Turkey via the city of Gire Spi/Tal Abyad by ISIS alone clearly revealed the partnership between Turkey and ISIS.

 Moreover, Turkey allowed more than 40,000 ISIS members to cross into Syria through its territory, coming from 110 countries around the world between 2014 and 2016, according to what was confirmed by the former US Special Envoy to the International Coalition to Defeat ISIS, Brett McGurk, in a tweet on Twitter, who confirmed that the US withdrawal from some areas in northern Syria "caused murders, kidnappings, looting and forced displacement in the Turkish-held areas.

 Turkish -controlled areas are safe environment for ISIS

 Despite the Turkish occupation state’s talk about the so-called “safe zone” in NE Syria; Turkey actually established this zone under international sponsorship for ISIS, not for the Syrians.

 In October 2019, a joint intelligence operation between the international coalition and the Syrian Democratic Forces led to the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, 5 km from the Turkish border in the Turkish-occupied Idlib region.

 On October 23, 2021, an international coalition drone killed ISIS leader Sabahi al-Ibrahim al-Muslih, or what is known as “Abu Hamza al-Shahil,” along with two of his companions; In the village of Adwaniyah in occupied the countryside of Serekaniye/Ras al-Ain.

 On February 3, 2022, US President Joe Biden announced that ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Qurashi had blown himself up during an operation launched by US special forces in Turkish-held the town of Atma.

 ISIS continues its activity in Syria and Iraq, and works through its sleeper cells to destabilize security in the region and benefit from Turkish threats that encourage it to commit more massacres; as previous estimates indicated the presence of between 4,000 and 6,000 ISIS mercenaries in Syria and Iraq in the form of cells; in addition to thousands of detained mercenaries and tens of thousands of their family members in camps in the areas of NE Syria.

 The Turkish occupation state and its continued support for ISIS and other mercenary groups create a state of insecurity and instability in the region, similar to the attack on Gweiran prison in Hasaka, which resulted in the martyrdom of about 121 fighters from the ranks of the Syrian Democratic Forces and citizens in the city of Hasaka.

 The Turkish occupation state does not hesitate to threaten the city of Kobani, whose resistance against ISIS was supported by the peoples of more than 93 countries around the world, as Turkey describes the residents of this region who are defending their land as "terrorists", while the liberation of the city of Kobani in January 2015 was the first defeat of ISIS despite direct Turkish support at the time.

After ISIS was defeated for the first time in the Battle of Kobani despite Turkish support for it; ISIS remains active in Syria and Iraq under Turkish sponsorship and international neglect. Previous reports indicated that the Turkish state transferred 300 ISIS members to Southern Kurdistan to fight the Kurdistan Workers' Party, in a process of reviving ISIS in Iraq.

 In the Euphrates canton, and during 4 years, ANHA agency documented 33 air attacks carried out by Turkish drones against the canton, in the city of Kobani and the cities of Sarin and Ain Issa and the villages of Halanj, Memit, Idka, Albulur, Qumji, Zor Maghar, Koran, Jalabiya, Ain Bat, Bir Arab, Bir Zinar and Bagdik, which led to martyrdom 29 citizen and injuring 19 other; they were workers in civil institutions " Kongra Star; Social Justice Council and Syrian Revolutionary Youth Movement", 8 fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces, 3 of whom had gone to the city to receive treatment, and 2 of them were visiting families; they were targeted by a drone, in addition to the martyrdom of 3 female fighters from the Women's Protection Units in the village of Idqah, south of the city of Kobani on April 20, 2022.

 The attacks also caused the destruction of infrastructure, vital facilities, and electricity and water networks in the city of Kobani.

 The Autonomous Administration in the North and East of Syria region has repeatedly called on the so-called "Guarantor States" in Syria, United States of America and the Russian Federation to stop the Turkish attacks against the region.

 Article 37 of the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions, 1977, prohibits killing, wounding or capturing an adversary by resorting to treachery.

Although the United Nations Charter signed in 1945 in San Francisco stipulated that all members of the organization are prohibited in their international relations from threatening or using force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, the system of tracking and holding accountable states that violate the Charter is carried out according to the whims and interests of the dominant states.

The occupying Turkish state spends millions of dollars to develop drones as killing tools, despite its internal problems, the most prominent of which is the Kurdish issue and economic stagnation.
