Qamishlo- Since October 5, the Turkish state has targeted the infrastructure and security of North and East Syria. In an interview with NuJINHA, Evîn Cuma, head of the Human Rights Association Jazeera, commented on the ongoing Turkish attacks on the region.

‘45 service facilities have been targeted’

Pointing to the intensified Turkish attacks on NE Syria, especially on Cizir region since October 5, Evîn Cuma said, “More than 45 facilities providing services to the people have been targeted until now. Many power plants and oil refineries have been targeted by the Turkish state and now they are out of service. All facilities providing services to the people are out of service now. This causes many problems.”

‘The Turkish state has committed war crimes’

Speaking about the ongoing Turkish attacks on NE Syria, Evîn Cuma said, “The Turkish state has committed war crimes. The ongoing Turkish attack on life sources is a crime against humanity. We call on the Syrian government and the guarantor states to fulfill their obligations to protect the sovereignty of the people. According to the laws on war, these attacks are war crimes because the settlements of civilians are targeted. This is a crime against humanity. As the Human Rights Association Jazeera, we strongly condemn the ongoing Turkish attacks.”
