A hundred French parliamentarians, especially from the left, denounce “the war policy of the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with regard to the Kurds in northern Syria and ask” not to give in to their intimidation “, in a platform on the web of JDD Saturday.
“While Vladimir Putin’s Russia multiplies war crimes in Ukraine, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in the shadow of global emotion, plans to launch another bloody offensive against the Kurds of northern Syria,” say the signatories of this platform initiated by the Communist senator from Val-de-Marne Laurence Cohen.
The Turkish president “takes advantage of his status as a pivot of NATO in the context of the Ukraine conflict to obtain the blank check of the Atlantic Alliance in order to intensify his attacks in northern Syria”, believe these communist deputies and senators, LFI, socialists, environmentalists but also some LR or most.
Parliamentarians of all political persuasions, we denounce President Erdogan’s war policy and call on European leaders and officials not to give in to his intimidation!
No-fly zone in northern Syria
“Already in 2019, Erdogan had launched an offensive at the cost of countless civilian losses, destruction and barbaric acts, with the aim of destabilizing the Kurdish social and political fabric. In the face of abuses committed by the Turkish military, Western countries should no longer look the other way,” these elected officials denounce.
These French parliamentarians ask the Member States of the European Union “to guarantee the protection of Kurdish activists and associations present on European soil. We invite France to take advantage of the UN Security Council to decree an exclusion zone in the north of Syria and put the Syrian Kurds under international protection.”
“Finally, we ask that the Aanes (the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria) be able to benefit from international recognition, in order to achieve a political solution that can build a lasting peace in the region”, they conclude in this forum. .
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly threatened to launch a military offensive against Kurdish militants in northern Syria, to create a “safe zone”, following an operation carried out in 2019.
