Syrian Democratic Council calls on UN to end Turkish occupation of Afrin
|
[NPASYRIA] On Thursday, the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) called on the UN and the UN Security Council to adopt the European Parliament’s position and admit that the Ottoman Turkish presence in northern Syria is an occupation that has to end.
This came in a statement issued by SDC on the third anniversary of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
and its affiliated armed opposition groups’ takeover of the city of Afrin on March 18, 2018.
During the three-year-occupation, Turkey and its mercenaries caused the displacement of 80% of Afrin’s indigenous people, the statement indicated.
"Turkey is practicing an aggressive policy towards the region through the systematic Turkification of Afrin, distorting its identity and changing the demography of the region," the statement added.
The statement called for returning the situation to the period before the "occupation," forcing Turkey to retreat from its hostile positions against the Kurdish people and abide by Article 25 of the UN charter.
The statement also called on the UN-Secretary General to form an independent international investigation committee to "investigate the crimes committed by Turkey and its affiliated groups in Afrin."
It stressed "the necessity to reveal the fate of more than 7,000 forcibly disappeared civilians, guarantee a safe return of the indigenous people to their land, compensate them, drive all the intruders out of the region, and end all aspects of occupation."
