We the undersigned call on the U.S. Congress to adopt this resolution to protect the civilians of Afrin from Turkish attacks. Whereas, as part of ‘Operation Olive Branch’, Turkish military forces have targeted civilian towns and infrastructure in Afrin city and other areas in the northern and western countryside of Afrin, leading to over 200 civilian casualties, and displacing over 5000 people; Resolved, that it is the sense of the Congress that-

1) The United States will condemn Turkish military actions in Afrin;

2) The United States will stop all weapons sales to Turkey until Turkey stops the illegal targeting of civilians;

3) The United States will work with all other states who are willing to set up and maintain a no-fly zone in Afrin to protect civilians.
