In a move described as “demographic change”

A number of residents of Afrin countryside said that the checkpoints run by the factions of the Free Syrian Army with the support of Turkey refuse to recognize the Syrian identity cards of the people and demand that they produce cards presented by Turkey as “displaced” to the person who holds it.

In a call by Aso news network with some residents in the villages of Baden and others in the countryside of Afrin, they said (without revealing their identity), as they are going from the countryside of Afrin to the center of the city of Afrin, crossing the barriers of the Syrian army and the Turkish army, which refuse the National identity “as proof of the person, and told the people” we will not accept the Syrian identity card, you must obtain the card prepared by the Turkish government. ”

The journalist, Mohamed Bello, told Aso news network that the roadblocks demand that the residents draw a card that the Turkish state had identified as a “identification card.” According to the residents, the card that was inscribed in Turkey identified as “ID card” with Ten fingers prints.

One of the residents of Afrin (who did not reveal his name) said that the content of this card removes the residents of Afrin as owners of the place, the land and property and makes them displaced.
Parents fear this step, which they describe as dangerous to the demographic structure in Afrin and their land and property.

Since the 1960s, the Kurds in Syria have suffered from an exceptional census law, when about 150,000 Syrian Kurds were not registered in government civil records at that time, thus becoming stateless as “Hassakeh foreign nationals”, deprived of all their civil rights, until 2011 when The law was amended and granted citizenship after the Syrian revolution.
This is not the first process according to the people, that make them afraid of demographic change in Afrin, after the occupation of Turkey and the resettlement of thousands of fleed Syrian from different parts of Syria in Afrin, where the activists from Afrin reports daily broadcast pictures and videos and news of violations by the Free Syrian army factions backed by Turkey.

Note: Aso News Network will be working on obtaining the paper that Turkey is imposing on the people.
