Loch residents of the eastern countryside of Kobani expressed their anger and dissatisfaction with the passage of the Turkish patrol in their villages, by throwing stones and shoes at the Turkish military vehicles which participated in the joint patrol with the Russian vehicles on Tuesday.
The Russian-Turkish joint patrol started yesterday from the village of Marj Ismail, some 7km to the east of Kobani, till the village of al-Jirn in the west of Tal Abyad (Gire Spi), through several villages in eastern Kobani, where the villagers stood on the roads and threw stones and shoes at the Turkish military vehicles.

Ismail Bozo, a villager of Marj Ismail told North-Press that, "People refuse the entry of Turkish military to their lands, because it is a traitorous country that wants to get us out of our land where we live in safely".

 

"Turkey wants ISIS to return"  
"Turkey wants to bring ISIS back to the region", Bozo said, referring to Turkey's backed Syrian armed opposition groups, adding that, "There is a fear of the return of ISIS to our areas through Turkey, looting properties and displacing the civilians".
Bozo appealed to the international community and the United Nations to work to stop them, and prevent Turkey’s entry into their land, and Turkey's attempt to bring demographic change to the region.

 

Demographic change in the region  
While Ali Fateh from the village of Karamox said that, "Turkey wants to enter our land to resettle others in order to make a demographic change in the region, pointing to Turkey’s attempts to fuel the conflict among the components of northern Syria by these practices".
