    Celebration of Turkey's Day of the Child today in Efrîn, once a majority-Kurdish region of Syria. Turkey and Turkish-backed Syrian armed groups took over the area in early 2018.pic.twitter.com/UPUezKs7S7

        Much of the original population of Efrin fled the area and is blocked from returning. Instead, Arabs displaced from other areas of Syria have been brought it. According to sources I've spoken to, it doesn't seem that Kurds are still the majority in Efrin.

        Tell that to the dozens of kurdish civilians that have been abducted, tortured, beaten up or raped by the TFSA. The Ezidi which shrines have been destroyed, the people which houses and villages have been looted and razed. Its called ethnic cleansing. Its called war crime.

        Well said. We should also add "Turkey's ongoing genocides in the making against #Afrin region population since 1/20/18", "Genocide" Turkey's specialty against Kurds since 1920 & Armenians since 1914, 2 mil killed & as we speak the charlatan Erdogan denying it again in Ankara 😠

        I would rather write about the ethnic cleansing than Turkish celebrations. Why are you supporting the ethnic cleansing campaign against Kurds committed by the Turks showing off images flashing Turkish flags in Afrin? Does this make your heart beat with joy?
