Turkey's aggression on the island...occupying the land and winning the elections is the goal and "national security" is the pretext...by: Ahmed Hamadeh

For weeks, until this writing, the Turkish occupation regime has continued its brutal bombing of areas in northern and eastern Syria, under flimsy pretexts, such as protecting the alleged “Turkish security” and pursuing its opponents from the “Kurdish” factions opposed to it, and under the same pretexts and names, which it used to lie about. Its details throughout the period of the terrorist war on Syria, such as the establishment of what it falsely calls the “safe zone.”

This occupation did not leave a gas or oil facility, a fuel station, an oil depot, or an infrastructure, such as electricity and water networks, except that its attacking planes poured out their hatred on them, bombed them with missiles and turned them into ashes, which caused heavy losses to citizens' private and public property.

And all this with American complicity and suspicious international silence, and in light of the silence of the UN Security Council on these systematic crimes, at a time when the Council is mobilizing to issue statements and decisions when it comes to any issue that Washington and Western decision-making capitals wish to raise, which affects countries whose policies do not appeal to them.

The occupation bombed safe villages in the countryside of Hasakah, Raqqa, and Aleppo and destroyed farm equipment and oil and electrical installations with its same flimsy pretexts. Rather, it invented a new pretext, which is revenge against the perpetrators of the recent Istanbul bombing, exploiting it, and taking it as a new pretext for aggression, although all indications confirm its intelligence involvement in it, in order to trade With the blood of the victims, as usual, and exploiting it before preparing for the upcoming Turkish presidential and parliamentary elections.

The ongoing Turkish aggression thus far comes under the same false pretexts that the Erdogan regime has taken over the years to expand its occupation of the Syrian lands, under the pretext of the lie called “establishing the safe zone”, but its goals have become clear to everyone.

“Al-Thawra” newspaper follows in the following political file the details of the Turkish aggression now taking place on the Syrian lands, its objectives, its course, and its coincidence with the convening of a new round of “Astana” talks on Syria, which have concluded their work, and the messages that he wants to deliver to the international community first, and to the guarantors in Astana Secondly, and foremost among them is Russia, which this regime imagines is preoccupied with the war in Ukraine and is trying to compete with Moscow on several issues, such as energy, the war on terrorism, and the aggression against Syria. Western complicity with him, and the Americans in particular, and the suspicious silence of international institutions, their lack of condemnation of him, and their contention with watching him, especially the UN Security Council and the Human Rights Council.
