The occupied villages of “Miskeh – Fawqani and Tahtani”, the private prison of „Iska for “Sham Legion”, chaos and sporadic violations
Suleiman Soylu, Turkey’s Interior Minister, chose the first day of Eid al-Adha – “because of its symbolism” – to go to the regions of Afrin and Azaz – northern Syria, accompanied by other officials and the governors of Hatay and Kilis, illegally and contrary to international law, where he visited security departments and buildings with special considerations, raising the Turkish flag and pictures of Ataturk and Erdogan, such as the old government palace building in Afrin, and he took pictures of it including Turkish symbols, with a neo-Ottoman expansionist tendency; In a new affirmation of the occupation and responsibility for the two areas and the violation of Syrian sovereignty, the visit refutes the claims of the “Guarantor Astana” countries about “the unwavering commitment to Syria’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.”
