However, according to international law, the province must continue to follow Syrian law as it remains legally part of Syria.

And many young Afrin women are kidnapped, raped, disappeared, and sold as sex slaves. But Turkey is in charge, what could possibly go wrong?

Turkey annexes Afrin. I guess this is just another form of NATO expansion.

Wow.

...elected a 35-person assembly made up of 24 Kurds... Ethnic Turks loathe Kurds, surprised at the "diversity" of the assembly. But yeah, what possibly could go wrong?

I have a nagging sense that the struggle for Afrin is not over.

I am sensing American treason towards the Kurds, with Turkey, Russia and Assad having given their mutual agreement to Turkey’s annexation of a northern swath of Syria, leaving Syria’s Kurds in the hands of Erdogan, and all of it given a wink and & nod by Trump.

Meanwhile we are going to keep throwing away our lives and treasure on helping the child-rapist Afghans.

so if Turkey can’t go West and join the EU it plans on Going South ,LOL

[caww]

None of this is surprising....Turkey has made it's intentions known for sometime in what they want..by force of necessary.

As for the kidnapping and rape of girls and women....that is unfortunately the muslim mindset of conflicts in the middle east who operate with medieval islamic mindsets.

Antakya is the capital of Hatay province- which Turkey stole from Syria in 1939...

How appropriate!
