Arab tribes in Hasakah protest against Turkish intervention in Syria
[ARA News] HASAKAH – Arab tribal groups protested in the city of Sere Kaniye [Ras al-Ain] in Syria’s northeastern Hasakah province on Wednesday to condemn the Turkish intervention in Syria.Hundreds of protesters called on the Turkish forces to withdraw from Syria. “We condemn the Turkish occupation of Syrian territories. We protested today to show that not only Kurds are against this intervention, but Arabs and all the components of the Syrian society,” one of the protesters told ARA News in Sere Kaniye. The protesters tried to express their anger with the Turkish intervention, emphasising the unity of the social components in Syria. The Arab protesters stressed that the Turkish violations at the Syrian borders do not only target Kurds, but all Syrian communities. The Turkish forces entered the Syrian city of Jarablus on 24 August under the pretext of fighting ISIS and securing Turkey’s borders. However, the Turkish army also attacked Kurdish areas near Kobane, where scores of civilians were killed and dozens injured, which raised suspicions about the main goal of the Turkish intervention in Syria.
