YPG: Instead of targeting ISIS, Turkish forces attack us
KOBANÊ (DİHA) - Instead of targeting ISIS terrorists’ occupied positions, Turkish forces attack our defenders positions, YPG Media Center said in a statement.
At 4:30 July 24 in western Kobanê, the Turkish Army shelled the People’s Defense Units (YPG) and the Free Syria Army’s positions in the village of Zormikhar in front of the terrorist-occupied town Jarabulus – using heavy tank fire, YPG Media Center said in a statement. In this attack four fighters of the FSA and several local villagers were injured, the statement added.
"On 26 June, at 22:00, the Turkish army again shelled the same village with 7 tank rounds. At 23:00, one of our vehicles came under heavy fire from the Turkish military east of Kobanê (west of Gîrê Spî) in the village of Til Findire," YPG underlined.
The statement concluded, "Instead of targeting ISIS terrorists’ occupied positions, Turkish forces attack our defenders positions. This is not the right attitude. We urge Turkish leadership to halt this aggression and to follow international guidelines. We are telling the Turkish Army to stop shooting at our fighters and their positions."
