120 more olive trees cut down in Turkish-occupied Afrin

According to local sources, 120 olive trees have been cut down near the new bridge in Afrin’s city centre.

It is reported that the trees belonged to a local person named Mihemed Elî Hebîb who resides in Bilbil district.

It is further reported that the olive trees are being sold in an Afrin market by Turkey-backed mercenaries.

A regime of terror and corruption has been established in Afrin after the Turkish state occupied the city in 2018. Olives and olive-based products, which are the main resource of the region, have been stolen and commercialized on a global scale. Furthermore, thousands of trees have been cut down and smuggled into Turkey or sold in occupied areas.
