HDP blames Turkey for resettling Arabs to Kurdish-populated towns in Syria Kurdistan

<p style="text-align: left;">Deputies from Turkey pro-Kurdish Peoples&amp;rsquo; Democratic Party (HDP) put forward parliamentary questions regarding the resettlement of ethnic Arabs in Syrian Kurdish towns where the Kurdish population is the majority, the Mesopotamia Agency reported on April 23.

The parliamentary questions, addressed at Vice President Fuat Oktay and Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu, also stated that the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) had violated Syria&rsquo;s territorial integrity with its armed operations Peace Spring, Olive Branch and Euphrates Shield.

Ayşe Surucu a HDP deputy for Şanliurfa said that thousands of Syrian Arabs had been resettled from their homes in Jarablus to the Kurdish towns of Ser&ecirc;kan&icirc; (Ceylanpinar in Turkish) in Turkey and Gir&ecirc; Sp&icirc; in northern Syria.

&ldquo;When you examine the interventions into the demographic structure of the region, it&rsquo;s obvious that the goal is to make Kurds a minority in Kurdish towns,&rdquo; Surucu said.

One parliamentary question asked why the Turkish government was resettling Syrian Arabs in the Kurdish provinces of Ser&ecirc;kan&icirc; and Gir&ecirc; Sp&icirc; in Northern Syria.

&ldquo;Do you know that destroying a region&rsquo;s demographic structure is a crime against humanity? Do you realize that what you&rsquo;re doing is destroying demographics?&rdquo; was another question.

Another parliamentary question noted that even though the Turkish government is aware of the origins of each Syrian migrant, it insists on resettling them in the majority-Kurdish Rojava region, Duvar reported.

One question asked who had resettled the Kurdish population that was forced to evacuate the Syrian town of Afrin and questioned whether there was any truth to rumors that families of the Turkey backed Sunni Arab rebels, Al Qaeda and IS now lived there.
