The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) made a statement in front of the administration building in Raqqa about the increasingly ongoing attacks of the Turkish state for the fourth day in a row.

The Executive Council Co-Chair Evîn Siwêd read the statement in Kurdish and Co-Chair Hisên Osman in Arabic.

The Autonomous Administration condemned the attacks of the Turkish state and stated that in four days, air strikes were carried out against the infrastructure and civilian areas in Cizîre, Kobanê, Til Temir and Ain Issa.

Noting that there is no legitimate justification for the attacks, the Autonomous Administration stated that the Turkish state aims to endanger economic conditions and lives by targeting institutions and service centres.

The statement pointed out that: “We have been experiencing difficulties especially in the last few years due to the attacks that have been going on for a long time. However, we continue to protect our people under all circumstances. This aggression poses a great threat to the humanitarian, service and social situation. It allows terrorist cells and mercenaries to take advantage of these attacks to organise and attack our regions. These attacks limit the efforts to establish peace and threaten the efforts of our people and our security forces in cooperation with the International Coalition to eradicate terrorism.”

The Autonomous Administration warned that if the attacks continue, they will have dangerous consequences and listed these dangers as follows:

- A humanitarian and economic catastrophe may occur

- Threats to efforts to eradicate terrorism may increase

- Due to damage to all sectors of agriculture, industry, services and factories, these institutions may go out of service.

- 5 million people's lives are at risk in the Autonomous Administration regions

-Threatens efforts to promote peace and a democratic solution in Syria

-Threatens and endangers prisons, which would allow terrorists to take advantage of the aggression, as well as measures to protect these sites.

The Autonomous Administration called on the International Coalition forces, Russia, and all legal and humanitarian institutions to see and prevent the consequences of these attacks, to form investigation committees and to hold the perpetrators to account.

The Autonomous Administration condemned the violations against the values and achievements of the people and stressed that it will protect the achievements of the people and their right to legitimate defence.

The Autonomous Administration called upon the components of the region to rally around the military and security forces, to maintain their unity and solidarity, and to frustrate all projects directed against their democratic will and projects.
