At the annual meeting of the Council of Agriculture and Irrigation of the Autonomous Administration, it was emphasised that the Turkish state aims to disturb the peace and stability of the region by destroying the Autonomous Administration.
The Agriculture and Irrigation Council of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) is holding its annual meeting at the Serdem Hall in Hesekê.
Speaking here, PYD (Democratic Union Party) Presidency Council member Foza Yûsif evaluated the political developments in the region. Foza Yûsif emphasised that the North and East Syrian region is going through a critical and sensitive process and stated that the economic war in the world has also negatively affected the region.
Foza Yûsif also drew attention to the ongoing attacks of the occupying Turkish state against the region and said, “In the early 2023-2024, intensive attacks were carried out against Northern and Eastern Syria. The aim of these attacks was to displace the people, change the demographic structure and increase poverty.’
Yûsif recalled that these attacks especially targeted infrastructure and service institutions and that the Turkish state aimed to disturb the peace and stability of the region by destroying the Autonomous Administration. However, she said, despite all these difficulties, the peoples of the region have resolutely stood by the Democratic Autonomous Administration.
Hesen Koçer, Deputy Co-Chair of the Executive Council of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, drew attention to the strategic development of the work. Stating that there are deficiencies and mistakes in the current economic system, Koçer said, “In the coming year, we should endeavour to overcome these deficiencies and develop a stronger economic strategy.’
Koçer emphasised the importance of the Autonomous Administration supporting the construction of a social system. “The economy is not just about money, it is a social phenomenon,’ he said. Koçer stated that human labour should not be measured in money, but in freedom, and that an economic system based on the labour of individuals in society should be established.
Hesen Koçer stated that some decisions will be taken to develop agriculture and the economy in the region.
