The Director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdulrahman, says Turkey is working on creating discord between Arabs and Kurds in Northern Syria and use that to meddle with the region.

Transcript:

Every statement coming Turkey is in benefit of ISIS.
Hajin is connected with what happens in Northern Syria.

When Turkey saw that ISIS was going to collapse, it started threatening to invade Northern Syria.

What’s happening in Northern Syria [is that:]
Turkey is working on another plot, which is the attempt in creating an Arab-Kurdish discord in Northern Syria by forming some Turkey-loyalist groups to fight the Kurds.

And to say that the issue is between Arabs and Kurds.
While the SDF includes Arab and Kurdish forces.

Today, the Manbij Military Council in Manbij city includes the components from Arab, Kurd and all components of the region, not only Kurdish forces.

If Turkey attacks east of Euphrates as it says, where will it attack?

Tal-Abiyad? There are Arabic and Kurdish components…
Tal-Abiyad is Arab-majority but it’s not under a complete Kurdish control.

Therefore Turkey is trying to create an Arab-Kurd discord to meddle with Northern Syria.

And why didn’t Turkey fight ISIS before, when it was controlling a long strip on the Syria-Turkey border, and was enjoying trading on the border.

Therefore the matter is connected to the Turkish decision to occupy Northern Syria.
