➡️ As #YPJ, we are defending a multi-ethnic society, in which Armenians also are taking their place

Two weeks before the #TurkeyElections, #Erdogan announces the killing of #ISIS leader Abu Husin al-Quraishi by Turkish intelligence

➡️ Why is Erdogan not mentioning that al-Quraishi was stationed in a base of Turkish-backed Islamists "Faylaq al-Sham" in Turkish occupied #Afrin ?

➡️ It is not new that the Turkish occupied areas of Northern #Syria are harboring #ISIS leaders

➡️ Leaders, like Al-Quraishi, have long been protected by #Turkey who let them operate freely

➡️ This pre-electory propaganda aims to cover up the tight links between ISIS & Turkey

➡️ Just before the elections, Erdogan deceives the public by presenting himself as the one fighting #ISIS

➡️ However, #Turkey funds, gives power to forward their political agenda, and uses them as foot-soldiers against the #AANES
