Afrinpost-Special
One of the settlers said in his speech to an indigenous Afrin Kurd, “Inshallah the next year will not remain a Kurdish person in Afrin,” as part of the confirmation of the settlers’ efforts and satisfaction with the process of demographic change applied by the Turkish occupation in Afrin in front of the world and the hearing.
This came during an interview between a Kurdish citizen of Afrin and a settler from the northern countryside of Aleppo, who came with the Turkish occupation and his gunmen and seized the property of the displaced from Afrin, after the Kurdish citizen told him that they wish to be better next year.
Since its occupation of the Kurdish region of Afrin in northern Syria, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamic militias, known as the Free Army, have been bringing their families to Kurdish villages, under the supervision of Turkish intelligence, to seek a gradual demographic change in Afrin, by continuously pressing the Kurdish population to get them out and left their property and livelihood to the settlers.
The Turkish occupation authorities prevented the return of the people to Afrin, and closed all crossings with the neighboring areas to which the Afrinis were forcibly displaced, while a limited number of indigenous people were able to return, through harsh agricultural roads, after paying large bribes to the militants to allow them to return to their homes.
