Recent footage reveals that the Turkish state is directing the assaults against the northern Syrian city of Kobanê. In the recordings, a person speaking Turkish is heard giving instructions for attacks on Kobanê, confirming that the assaults are being carried out by the occupying Turkish state.
The images also clearly show the direct involvement of the Turkish state in the ongoing attacks on the rural areas of Kobanê. The footage recorded during the ongoing wave of attacks includes persons speaking Turkish, and one attacker is seen issuing attack orders in Turkish.
Meanwhile, the Turkish-backed mercenaries and HTS-ISIS militias continue their attacks on the countryside of Kobanê, violating the declared ceasefire. The SDF and YPJ forces are responding to the attacks within the framework of their legitimate right to self-defense.
