Turkish occupation forces’ mercenaries kidnap seven civilians in Afrin countryside

Aleppo, (ST) – The mercenaries of the Turkish occupation from the terrorist organizations have continued their crimes against the people in the areas of their deployment in the northern countryside of Aleppo, as they kidnapped a number of civilians from the Afrin area and took them to an unknown destination.

Civil sources said to SANA that, the mercenaries of the Turkish occupation forces from the so-called “Sham Legion” and “Military Police” carried out a campaign of raids on the homes of citizens in several villages in the vicinity of the occupied city of Afrin in the northern countryside of Aleppo and kidnapped seven civilians in the Basuta area and the town of Baadina in the sub-district of Mabtali and took them to an unknown destination.

The sources pointed out that the terrorist organizations, under orders from the Turkish regime, are practicing the most heinous crimes and are working to restrict the people in order to drive them out of their villages and resettle their families in their place, in a step aimed at a demographic change in the region.

The Turkish occupation forces and their terrorist mercenaries in the areas they occupy in the countryside of Al-Hasakah, Raqqa and Aleppo continue the operations of kidnapping and looting.  They have carried out criminal operations against the people and destroyed the infrastructure and service facilities, which has led to a large displacement of civilians, in preparation for the transfer of hundreds of terrorists’ families to be housed in the houses of the locals.
