The American “Al-Monitor” website confirmed on Friday that the Turkish occupation of northern Syria transferred people from their homes, according to the website of the Egyptian newspaper Al-Dustour, which stated that Turkey’s decision to move Syrian families from Afrin to Tel Abyad, had raised concerns of demographic engineering in the north Syria.
The American website added that Ankara has transferred hundreds of people to the town of Tal Abyad in northeastern Syria from the “Euphrates Shield” area occupied by Turkey, which raised many families eyebrows, who were hoping to return to their villages in the region, which was occupied by Turkish occupation since November 2019.
The site stressed that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan does not hide his intention to change the demographic character of the region, and he often repeats Ankara’s plan to transfer two million refugees to a “safe area”, which is to be set in the Battle of “Spring of Peace” in the northeast.
Erdogan told the United Nations General Assembly last year that Turkey initially planned to transfer a million refugees to the region by building 140 villages and 10 towns there.
The second phase of the plan includes the expansion of resettlement operations in the town of Deir Al-Zour, which is located on the M-4 motorway that links the east and west of the country, and continued that Turkish cross-border operations in Syria are still in progress despite the outbreak of the Coronavirus.
According to Kurdish and Arab Syrian sources, The convoy carried the families of the Syrian militants who fought alongside the Turkish occupation army during the Battle of the Euphrates Shield.
