The Turkish occupation sets up barriers, digs trenches between villages in Raqqa countryside to perpetuate its illegal presence in this area

The Turkish occupation has set up barriers inside the Syrian territories with a depth of 32km and reinforced a number of its illegal bases by supplying them with heavy weapons and sophisticated radars. The occupation has also dug 15km long trenches adjacent to the Hasakah-Aleppo highway in the vicinity of Ain Issa district in Syria’s Raqqa, local sources told SANA on Monday.

These moves are part of the crimes being committed by the Turkish occupation in Raqqa northern countryside in addition to their attempts of  imposing a Turkification policy and isolating the villages it has occupied from their neighboring areas with the aim of perpetuating the occupation and making a demographic change in these areas.

 The sources pointed out that the Turkish occupation plans to isolate the occupied areas to the north of the Aleppo-Hasakeh highway from the southern side, a fact that has been evident in its building of 5 illegal military bases in Ain Issa district and in linking these bases to each other to perpetuate the Turkish occupation of this area.
