At a time when all Syrians were awaiting with great interest and concern the summit meetings that were announced earlier between the presidents of the United States and Russia on the one hand, and the presidents of United States and Turkey on the other, especially since it was expected that the Syrian file would be strongly present in these important meetings, and the Syrians hoped that these meetings would resolve the crisis, calm the conflict, and set a path for a political solution with international guarantees to protect the Syrians, achieve their social security, protect their rights, and establish a democratic system, a modern constitution and a good political life. The leaders of the so-called “National Coalition” did not take the initiative to anticipate these important meetings with any action that contributes to achieve the hopes and aspirations of the Syrian people for peace, freedom and stability. Rather, they brazenly called on their operators to occupy more Syrian territories, and to displace more Syrians, within the framework of a project that became clear to all that It does not present any national agenda for Syria, and the role of the “coalition” in it plays the role of the criminal wage-earner used by the occupiers, and this role entrusted to a group of Syrians has become a real danger to the future of Syria.

The Turkish regime intends to maintain chaos in the Syrian areas which are under its control with the aim of holding the Syrian Democratic Forces responsibility, and obstructing their main mission of fighting terrorist organizations and their renewed cells, and Turkey aims to get permission to occupy more Syrian territories by Syrian mercenaries who don’t belong to the Syrian patriotism and don’t want the political solution and peace that we seek, and the one homeland for which we sacrifice.
The criminals of the “coalition” have worked at all levels of decadence until they have fallen to the bottom, and have brazenly expressed their severe bankruptcy with the approach of the meeting between “Biden – Erdogan” and they began to abuse the Syrian democratic project by tampering with the security of civilians, and their goal was to distort the heroism of the Syrian Democratic Forces, as their crime came by targeting a hospital in Afrin and perpetrating a massacre against innocent civilians, because their hateful media accelerated their accusation to the “SDF” in conjunction with the demands of the representatives of the “coalition” for their employers to occupy more Syrian territories, and the performance was ridiculous within a silly play and a bad plan that did not deceive anyone, especially since the whole people around the world know who are the killers of innocent civilians, and who are the olive thieves and stole the people’s property and those who settled the settlers in the homes of the displaced people, and who are the perpetrators of the daily crimes that are legitimized by those who claim the opposition including the spies of the regime and the agents of the Turks, who have no goal but to hinder the revolution of the Syrian people and stir up hatred and racism among the components of one people who lived a decade in a state obscurity. Now, the Syrian people are able to understand the reality of these people who are spies and realize their base goals.

While the Syrian Democratic Council has mercy on the souls of the martyrs and wishes a speedy recovery for the wounded, the members of the SDC work hard to activate dialogues with the various patriotic Syrians and do their best in serving the cause of the Syrian people and expelling the occupiers from their territories. The council follows up the file of crimes committed by the coalition factions in their various areas of presence, and works to end all their crimes that are carried out under a political cover that provides them with protection and support.

We are as members of the Syrian Democratic Council, strongly reject the crime of Afrin hospital to pass without accountability, and we refuse to turn the innocent blood of the Syrian people into a device in which it is used to strengthen the positions of the occupiers in their negotiations with the major countries, and while we condemn the shameful behavior of a group of what is known as “The coalition”, we demand the United Nations and the Security Council not to close the file of the terrorist crime committed by these criminals against innocents and to separate this file from the political discussions taking place among the parties, and also we demand the formation of a special and impartial international committee to investigate this crime, reveal the responsible parties, bring the perpetrators to justice and show the truth to become accessible to the Syrian people.

Syria: Syrian Democratic Council – A statement for the public opinion (18.03.2021)

The tenth anniversary of the outbreak of the uprising and the popular movement in Syria this year is associated with the third anniversary of the Turkish occupation of the Syrian region of Afrin, in which the occupation was as basis to undermine the chances of achieving the goals and purposes for which the Syrian people uprised a decade ago.

Turkey through its army and mercenary factions, has been practicing aggressive policies and plans against the indigenous people of Afrin for three years, after the displacement of more than 80% of its population, the systematic Turkification of the region, the distortion of its identity, the disruption of its demographic composition and its isolation from its Syrian surroundings, in addition to the expansion of daily violations and illegal sabotaged activities in occupied lands of Afrin.

During three years ago, Turkey allowed to the mercenary factions to abuse and practice the most horrific violations against the original Kurdish population in Afrin, confiscate their properties and restrict them by placing extremist factions that obey their orders and implement Turkey’s expansion plans in the Syrian territories.

Despite the documented reports issued by UN agencies and human rights organizations that documented what was happening in the Afrin region in terms of ethnic cleansing and its transformation into an incubated environment for extremism and terrorism, the international community remained unable to make a decision that consistent with the United Nations charter and international resolutions calling for the preservation of human dignity and respect for state sovereignty.

We are as members of the Syrian Democratic Council, affirm in this regard that Turkey’s justifications in the excuse of preserving its national security in the region will not be achieved through its repeated flagrant violations of its obligations in international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention, but rather by its full commitment as an occupying power, and its expression of its serious political will towards the real peace in the region.

We call on the United Nations and the International Security Council to adopt the position of the European Parliament and to acknowledge that the Turkish presence in northern Syria is an occupation that must be ended and restore the situation to before the occupation of Afrin in 2018 and to oblige the Turkish state to retreat from its hostile attitudes towards the Kurdish people and to be obligated to implement in accordance with Article 25 of the charter of the United Nations.

We also call on the Secretary-General of the United Nations to form an independent international investigation committee to investigate the crimes committed and still are committed by Turkey and its mercenary factions in the Afrin region, uncover the fate of more than seven thousand forcibly disappeared civilians, work on the safe return of its original inhabitants and compensate them, remove all aspects of occupation.
And based on our belief in the unity of the Syrian territories and our total commitment to preserve the country’s unity and liberate it from all forms of occupations, we call on all the Syrian parties to unite their forces to expel all occupiers, especially Turkey, which has undermined efforts to solve the Syrian crisis and exploited the plight of the Syrians to turn them into mercenaries and soldiers on demand in the service of its expansionist interests in the region.

We seek to be our call as a beginning for the best solution to settle the crisis and end the tragedy of the Syrian people, which is through the solidarity of all Syrians and the focus on the common factors and the unity of destiny without discrimination or alignment, and through the actual implementation of the comprehensive Security Council Resolution 2254 and saving the country from tyranny and divisions.
