Turkish occupation mercenaries impose royalties on citizens under the name “al-Eidiya”

Under gunpoint, the Turkish occupation mercenaries impose royalties under many names in the areas they occupy in Syria, the most prominent of which is “al-Eidiya” as Eid al-Fitr approaches, according to what the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.

A report by the SOHR confirms that the “Ahrar al-Sharqiya” mercenaries impose royalties of 500 Turkish liras on shop owners in the areas they occupy, while the “Sultan Murad” mercenaries impose monthly royalties of 3,000 Turkish liras per month on stall owners.

The Turkish occupation practices did not stop at imposing royalties only, as homes were seized or even trees belonging to citizens were cut down.

In detail, the "National Army" mercenaries continued to cut down 230 olive trees in the areas of Janders and Sharan district in the occupied Afrin countryside, with the aim of selling them as firewood and making a profit from them.

Last February, Human Rights Watch held the Turkish occupation state responsible for possible violations and war crimes committed in Syria, most of which were against the Kurdish population in the north of the country.

The organization, based in New York, added in a lengthy report consisting of 74 pages, and based on interviews with 58 victims, survivors, relatives and witnesses to the violations, as well as representatives from non-governmental organizations, journalists, activists and researchers, that these violations were committed by the Turkish occupation army as well as its mercenaries. .

The report said that Turkey, as an “occupying force” in northern Syria, “bears responsibility for restoring public order and safety, protecting the population, and holding those responsible for violations accountable,” according to the report.
