Afrin: The internal body decides not to grant the right of return to Turkey to the locals of the canton due to security conditions.

Hassan Berm, head of the internal body in Afrin canton, said that ” The self-management decided not to grant the right of return to the children of the canton to Turkey because of security conditions.”

Berm explained through a statement for Welat FM that: ” security situation in the anton imposed them to take this decision in order to protect the lives of civilians, and because of the control of “terrorist groups ” on the east and west of the canton in reference to the ‘Ezaz’ and ‘Idleb’ and target the canton continuously ,” as he put it.

Berm Also pointed out that the “terrorist” groups detain citizens as they pass through these areas based on their identities and that there the number of innocent detainees reached 100 by each terrorist group, which leads them _ in some cases _to release the elements of these terrorist groups in order to release the people of the area held by them.

The statement issued by the internal body called on citizens to respect the decision of the self-management, preventing them from returning to the Turkish territory during these circumstances.
