Erdogan kills Syria’s children and plunders its wealth (Part 1)

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s crimes against the Arab nation and the right of humanity to occupy lands and kill innocents do not stop, as his record is full of crimes and violations since his blatant interference in Syria, Libya and Iraq using internationally prohibited weapons.

In this series, we shed light on the massacres committed by Erdogan in order to achieve personal glory, which is the “alleged caliphate.”

Despite the Turkish president’s profligacy in citing Quranic verses in his speeches, Turkish military behavior confirms that the use of religion in presidential speeches comes in the context of defending the suspicious interests and plans of the Turkish regime.

For nearly a decade, the cities of northern Syria have suffered from devastation, especially in conjunction with the operations Euphrates Shield, Olive Branch and Peace Spring, as Erdogan follows in the footsteps of his Ottoman predecessors and destroyed Aleppo and the Levant with his terrorist arm. Istanbul, in the time of the alleged caliphate, sent its armies a day to burn Aleppo, Damascus, Hama and Homs.

Turkey played a political, military and intelligence role in destroying Syria, as it and its allies tried to divide Syria on a sectarian basis and weaken its army, by supporting terrorist groups and mercenaries of the so-called Free Syrian Army, as the Syrian Center for Human Rights confirmed that the militias loyal to the Turkish regime in Syria kidnapped children and pushed them to fight in Libya with the knowledge of Turkish intelligence.

The beginning was with the trap of searching for a job, where the children went to Afrin, Syria to search for work, and then they fell victim to the Turkish-backed Sultan Murad Division without the knowledge of their families. The militia forcibly recruited more than 150 children, in addition to the attempt by these factions to attract displaced children from Idlib and other Syrian governorates.

The Turkish army forces and the militias loyal to them also renewed their attacks on villages located in the Abu Rasin area, north of Hasakah, by firing artillery shells at civilian gatherings in the village of Dada Abdul in the vicinity of the town of Abu Rasin, which led to material damage to the homes and properties of the people, in addition to the Turkish occupation forces’ use of internationally banned weapons, which cause the spread of deep burns in the body, while their danger lies in the wide range that pose a threat to civilians with permanent disabilities.

Perhaps the Afrin massacre is the best witness to the Turkish occupier’s killing of children and defenseless civilians, burning homes, plundering wealth, especially oil, and supporting extremist groups.

The Turkish army has a record of crimes and violations over the past nine years since its blatant intervention in the Syrian territories, as more than 1,721 civilians were killed in cold blood and thousands were injured, while the number of displaced persons reached more than 300,000, in addition to depriving 86,000 children of education in northern Syria.

Erdogan’s forces also committed executions and confiscation of homes in large areas that they control, to the point where Human Rights Watch, which always turns a blind eye to Turkish violations, criticizes the situation there, as the UN organization called for investigations into human rights violations and possible war crimes in the area, which extends 30 km deep inside Syrian lands.

The international organization affirmed that the executions, the looting of property and the prevention of the return of the displaced to their homes are compelling evidence that the safe areas proposed by Turkey will not be safe, which confirms that Erdogan’s statements about Turkey’s ability to return two million Syrians to the “safe zone” are lies that are repeated by the investigation. His malicious plans to control the sources of oil and get rid of the chronic headache of the Kurds by re-changing the composition of the population, as it always looks at northern Syria from Aleppo Governorate to Hasaka Governorate as a subordinate region that it ravaged from when the Ottoman Empire collapsed and it is time to restore it.

Erdogan’s crimes did not stop at the point of massacres and violations. Rather, the theft of Syria’s oil is one of his hidden crimes that have not been announced and which has taken the fight against terrorism as a cover.
