A report on the tense situation in Syria, especially in the Syrian city of Afrin was issued by the United Nations and pointed out to the violations of the so-called “National Army” of the Turkish occupation army in the city.

The report said, “the overall security conditions in Afrin and adjacent districts remained dire with armed factions having carved up the canton into geographic zones of influence. As a result there is a general absence of rule of law and repeated incidents of kidnappings, torture, extortion and assassination. Victims were often of Kurdish origin as well as civilians perceived as being prosperous, including doctors, businessmen and merchants.”
