Afrinpost – Special
The occupied areas in northern Syria, by the Turkish occupation army, and the gunmen of the Muslim Brotherhood, especially the occupied Kurdish Afrin region, are witnessing a determined effort by the occupation agents to consolidate the occupation by linking the lives of the population with it, the latest of which was the decision to trade the Turkish currency, instead of the Syrian currency, under the pretext of the collapse of the Syrian pound, to justify another aspect of the occupation.

The reporter added, quoting a source, “When the citizen goes to the pharmacy to buy medicine, the citizen has only the Syrian currency, and the pharmacy no longer accepts it, only the Turkish currency, so the citizen is forced to convert the Syrian currency to Turkish, which compels him to pay the price of the transfer from his pocket,” as a result of the difference between the prices of buy and sell.
