On Saturday, May 14th, the Syrian Democratic Council organized a lecture entitled “Erdogan and the demographic change” in the city of Al-Hasakah in northeastern Syria.
A group of politicians, intellectuals, civil society activists and social figures participated in the lecture.
The writer and researcher “Dr. Ahmed Sino” began the lecture by talking about the demographic change that was practiced by the Ottoman Empire at that time and its bloody history of committing massacres against minorities such as Armenians, Syriacs, Kurds, Yezidis and other ethnicities and sects.
Sino continued his talking in the second theme on the Milli Agreement that expresses objectives of Turkish President Erdogan to seize large regions starting from Cyprus and some Greek islands through the whole of northern Syria and up to Mosul in Iraq.
The writer and academic researcher stressed that the housing and settlement of nearly one million people in more than 13 occupied areas, the most important of which are “Afrin, Sere Kaniye (Ras Al-Ain), Tel Abyad, Azaz, Al-Bab and others” with residents from the Syrian interior and Syrian refugees in Turkey is a process of large-scale demographic change and one of the steps to implement the Milli Pact sought by Erdogan.
For their part, the attendees stressed that the Turkish state seeks through its policy to restore the glories of the Ottoman Empire and also Turkey benefits from the contradictions of the forces intervening in the Syrian crisis, at the expense of the Syrian people.
