completely closed. Despite the people of the region attempted several times to ask the Turkish
authorities in order to open a humanitarian route for medicines and food, but the Turkish
authorities always refused, and Afrin region is not only still under siege to this day, but it
bombarded from time to time by the Turkish forces and Islamic groups, who together lay a
harsh siege to the city of Afrin and the rest of Region.
Ladies and gentlemen..
The Kurds in Syria desperately need the international help and support to put pressure on the
conflicting parties to recognize and accept the Kurds rights in New Syria. The Kurds need
also the humanitarian support by providing them with the medical and necessary aids, because
the Kurdish region is still deprived of those aids, even of those which provided by Friends of
Syria Group. The international community should also put pressure on Turkey to open the
border gates and allow the passage of humanitarian aid of medicines and food, and to allow
the trade exchange with the Kurdish region. International organizations for development,
democracy and human rights should provide development aids and establish programs and
training courses in fields, that support and consolidate the principles of corporate governance,
democracy and human rights.
