The paramilitary groups that Turkey has moved to Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna areas of the Federated Kurdistan Region and Amêdiyê countryside remain on the agenda. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported a while ago that Turkey had transported more than 550 paramilitary groups to these areas to fight in the Federated Kurdistan Region. It was stated that these groups included people who had previously fought in the ranks of ISIS. 

 

PARAMILITARY GROUPS TAPED

 

Journalist Honar Ahmed filmed paramilitary groups moving into the Amêdiyê countryside, where the KDP-coordinated attacks are intensifying. In addition to filming the paramilitary groups, Ahmed also took the reactions of the people in the region to this situation. 

 

Ahmed, who filmed the countryside of Belavê village, stated that the number of group members who moved in is around 600 and that they were deployed on the outskirts of Metîna. He also stated that all of the paramilitary groups were brought from Syria to fight against the PKK.

 

'THEY DON'T TALK FOR FEAR OF KDP'  

 

Ahmet also handed a microphone to the villagers and said that he had received information from villagers that the armed men in the footage were speaking to them in Arabic. However, he said that many villagers are afraid to speak to the cameras “out of fear of the KDP”.
