Turkish escalation increases the chances of reviving ISIS terrorism in Syria.
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The president of the Executive Committee of the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), Ilham Ahmed in a tweet on Sunday warned that the increased Turkish escalation increases the chances of “reviving ISIS terrorism.”
On Aug. 18, a Turkish drone strike struck a group of teenage girls playing volleyball who were active in a United Nations educational outreach program in Hasakah. Four girls were killed in the attack.
“Turkey targets civilians and commits massacres,” Ahmed tweeted.
“Turkish escalation increases the chances of reviving ISIS terrorism in Syria and the region,” Ahmed added.
Turkey has stepped up drone strikes and shelling in northern Syria in recent months.
UN officials on Saturday expressed their deep concern about the increasing escalation of hostilities in northern Syria.
Moreover, Maj. Gen. John Brennan, the commander of the US-led coalition, on Friday evening condemned the drone strike, without blaming Turkey for the attack.
