Syria Wants Iskanderun Back from Turkey

On Monday, the People’s Assembly (parliament) said that Turkey has continued its attacks on Syria and committed brutal massacres against Syrians over the past 11 years.

The parliament issued a statement on the 83rd anniversary of Turkey’s annexation of the Liwa Iskenderun. The statement said that Turkey, from the beginning, worked to consolidate the policies of occupation and Turkification in the region, breaking the laws of the League of Nations at the time.

The statement added that these exact Turkish policies have been practiced again for the last 11 years.

The statement pointed out that Turkey has committed brutal massacres against Syrians, provided support to terrorist groups, stolen Syrian resources and bombed civilians. It also has repeatedly cut off water to Hasakah city, depriving a million people of drinking water.

The statement indicated that Turkish practices constitute a clear violation of international law.
