Since the beginning of “Peace Spring” Operation on the 9th of October 2019, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored violations carried out by the Turkey-loyal factions under the banner of the so-called “Syrian National Army”, attempting to force those who remained in the areas that they controlled in the Syrian north to leave, in order to carry out a demographic change in the area, while the Turkish Forces and intelligence and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan are watching everything, and the Syrian Observatory renews its appeals to the international community to press Turkey to stop the demographic change which Turkey is seeking to bring about in the area, and warns of the consequences of this process for the demographics of the Syrian territory in both short and long term, and the Syrian Observatory also calls on the international organizations to investigate the violations carried out by the Turkey-loyal factions of Looting, stealing, abduction, torture, and other abuses by the Turkey-loyal factions, right in front of the Turkish side, without any interference or attempt to improve the situations in the areas that are controlled by the “Peace Spring” Operation factions.
