nsnbc : Following the announcement by Turkey’s armed forces that they have gained a foothold in the city center of Afrin, the Democratic Autonomous Administration of the Syrian – Kurdish canton held a press conference in Shehba, saying that it had been decided to evacuate civilians to avoid a massacre of civilians.

Osman Şêx İsa, the administration’s Executive Council Co-chair, said “It was decided to evacuate the civilians from the city to avoid a civilian massacre”. İsa added, “Attacks against Afrin began on January 20 with an alliance with Russia and silence of regional powers. Russia opened its airspace in order for the Turkish state to commit a massacre against our people with all its weapons, and sacrificed the people for its interests. These attacks were carried out with the silence of international powers, the anti-ISIS coalition and United Nations Security Council”.

Commenting on the new phase of the resistance angainst Turkey and Turkey-backed militants Ísa said: “Our fight against the Turkish state invasion and dark forces using the name of “Free Army” continues. However, the war has moved to another stage with new tactics to prevent the massacre of civilians and deliver a blow to the gangs. Our forces are deployed everywhere in Afrin and they will inflict a blow to the invading Turkish army and its gangs in their own base”.

Ísa also commented on Turkey being overly optimistic and he implied that the next phase of the resistance would be a guerrilla campaign when he said: “A declaration of victory by Erdogan and his partners has no value in the eye of Turkey- and world public opinion. Our forces will make everywhere a nightmare for them. The resistance of Afrin will continue until every inch is liberated and people of Afrin turn back their homes”.

The Afrin canton administration’s Executive Council Co-chair called upon the United Nations when he said: “Lastly, we call on the United Nations Security Council to not remain silent and to put pressure on the Turkish state in order for the war of physical, cultural and political genocide against our society to end. The UN should end its hypocrisy and make the necessary decisions regarding the bloodshed in Afrin and Eastern Ghouta”.
