Hundreds of Turks Hold Erdogan’s Regime Responsible for al-Zara Massacre

ANKARA– Hundreds of Turks took part in demonstrations organized in Beyoglu and Gazi neighborhoods in Istanbul in condemnation of al-Zara massacre perpetrated by Erdogan-backed terrorists, SANA reported.

Terrorist groups of al-Rahman Legion, ahl Al-Sunna Battalions and Ajnad Homs along with Jabhat al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham, backed by the Turkish and Saudi regimes, perpetrated a heinous massacre against civilians of al-Zara village in the countryside of Hama last Thursday where they killed children, women and elderly in a brutal manner and abducted a number of others.

 Representatives of civil societies, unions, organizations and associations issued a statement following their participation in the demonstration in Istanbul expressing solidarity with the Syrian people and holding the Turkish regime under Recep Tayyip Erdogan responsible for the crimes perpetrated by terrorist organizations in Syria.

They pointed to the continuation of Turkish regime’s support to all terrorist organizations including ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, re-affirming that the Turkish regime and Gulf States’ support to the terrorists aims at igniting sedition and dragging the people of the region into bloody conflicts in service of Israel’s interest.

Struggle forces in Liwa Iskenderun condemn Turkish Support for terrorists

Meanwhile, in Antakya, the democratic struggle forces in the usurped Syrian Liwa Iskenderun have criticized the hypocrisy of the Turkish government and its keenness on legalizing its support for the takfiri terrorist organizations in Syria. They condemned the government silence over the terrorists’ crimes, the latest of which was al-Zara massacre in Hama countryside.  

Spokesman of the forces Mert Aslaneurik said the terrorist groups which savagely killed tens of people including women and children in al-Zarah village are the same groups which western countries, during a recent Security Council session, blocked a bid to blacklist them and tried to promote them as “moderate groups”.
