The People’s Assembly: The Turkish regime’s plan to establish what it calls (the safe zone) threatens regional and international peace and security

The People’s Assembly (Parliament) affirmed that the Turkish regime’s plan to establish what it calls a “safe zone” is a further occupation and blatant aggression and comes in the context of forced displacement and demographic change in the region. 

The People’s Assembly stressed Syria’s right to use all means to confront the occupation and its terrorist and mercenary tools. 

“The President of the Turkish regime is still following his approach in unleashing his statements that challenge and violate international and humanitarian laws, charters, and norms,” the People’s Assembly said in a statement. 

“The Turkish regime aims, through this occupation, to revive the illusions of what it calls the “safe zone” to carry out a new process of displacement and forced eviction of the population in the region and bring about demographic change in it and create a new reality that threatens regional and international peace and security,” the People’s Assembly said. 

The People’s Assembly continued: “ It is no secret to anyone that the malicious Turkish policy known to play on international contradictions and interactions and exploit the humanitarian situation to achieve despicable goals and gains that violate international laws and charters and flagrantly violate the legitimacy of United Nations resolutions and contradict them.”

The People’s Assembly pointed out that the reality of events and the spatial, regional and international conditions confirm the illegality of the occurrence of this occupying military intervention on Syrian territory. 

The People’s Assembly stressed the sovereignty of the Syrian state, the independence of its decision, the unity and safety of its territories and people, and its right to use all legitimate political and military means to defend itself and people in the face of the US, Turkish and Israeli occupation and their terrorist organizations. 

The People’s Assembly denounced the Turkish regime’s reluctance, manipulation, and evasion of implementing its commitments to the decisions issued by the Astana and Sochi meetings. 

The People’s Assembly condemned in the strongest terms the bombing of villages in northern Syria by the Turkish occupation army and its gangs, which are internationally classified as terrorist, which leads to the killing of safe and defenseless citizens and the destruction of their homes and properties.
