The Syrian Tribal Council announced its rejection of the so-called local elections scheduled to be held on June 11 in the areas controlled by the PYD terrorist militia east of the Euphrates River.
Anadolu Agency quoted the head of the communications office of the Syrian Tribal and Clan Council, Zakaria Al-Ahmad, as saying that their meeting at the General Conference on Monday aimed to express their rejection of the division of Syria and the so-called elections scheduled to be held east of the Euphrates River.
“We gather today to convey the voices of our Arab, Kurdish, Assyrian, and Christian brothers east of the Euphrates to the world,” he added.
He continued: “We appeal to the UN Security Council, the European Union, and human rights organizations with the following message: Our goal was not to divide Syria, but rather to rise up against the Assad regime.”
Meanwhile, the representative of the Kurdish Tribal Council in Afrin, Jihad Sabri Daoud, said that the General Conference of the Syrian Tribal Council included all Syrian components from all backgrounds, adding: “We want to live as brothers in this country, for our country to be liberated, and for us to live in harmony and unity with each other.”
The fifth general conference of the Syrian Tribal Council was held Monday in the town of Sajo in the Aleppo countryside under the title: “Towards a free and united Syria free of terrorism, tyranny, and extremism.”
