On June 12, a hospital in occupied Afrin came under a vicious attack that caused lose of innocent civilians lives. Following the attack, Turkish president Erdogan blamed our forces of being behind the attack, stating unfounded claims. The Turkish government which is involved in or directly responsible for countless terrorist activities inside and outside of its borders, and especially Syria, cannot accuse our forces of such activities. Erdogan's government which is trying to portray itself as the defender of civilians in northern Syria and elsewhere is carrying out all forms of terrorist attacks against civilians.

Today is the anniversary of the victory against ISIS in Kobani. On January 26, 2015, our people and fighters of People’s Defense Units and Women’s Defense Units won a historical victory against the terror group. ISIS terror reign were at its peak and its activities caused an enormous horror and intimidation among the governments and peoples of the region. The massacres committed by ISIS in various places and the fear it sparked made several armies of the region flee from their positions, thus leaving cities and towns to the mercy of ISIS. ISIS launched attacks against Kurdish city of Kobani, which later became the beginning of its fall, in September 2014 when the group was enjoying full control over large swathes of areas of Syria and Iraq.

These continuous efforts were as part of the joint fight against ISIS and to ensure peace and security in the region. As a result of this coordination, many tensions on the border were resolved peacefully.
