AANES holds Turkey responsible for ISIS attack in Syria’s Hasakah

QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) held the Turkish government responsible for the recent attacks on al-Sina’a  prison in the Guweiran neighborhood in Hasakah, northeast Syria.

On January 20, ISIS sleeper cells carried a series of  attacks on al-Sina’a prison, where thousands of ISIS militants are detained, to break their ISIS inmates fellows out of the prison.

The mentality that rules and controls Turkey is nothing but the product of expansionist and aggressive desires and ambitions to target the Syrian territory and its people, especially in northeastern areas,  the AANES General Council said, in a statement, yesterday.

“Turkey has worked day and night, through its radical mercenaries those who polluted with Daesh ideology, to destabilize security and stability and try to foil the democratic project of the AANES,” the statement added.

Aiming at tightening control over the city of Hasakah and secure a terrorist corridor from Tel Tamr to Hawl camp into Iraqi territory, Turkey trained mercenaries in special camps in Ras al-Ain and Tal Abyad and sent them to Guweiran neighborhood in Hasakah in order to attack al-Sina’a prison, the statement read.

While the Syrian regime, on the Syrian border, stands watching the Turkish aggression, according to the statement.

The AANES called on the people of north and east Syria to support the it and stand by its side to counter both internal and external conspiracies.

As it called on the Global Coalition to assume its obligations  in confronting ISIS terrorism and work to repatriate foreign ISIS members to their countries.
