Mazloum Abdi: Those behind the massacre of Alawites must be held accountable

SDF Commander-in-Chief Mazloum Abdi said that al-Jolani should hold those responsible for the attacks against Alawites to account, adding that Turkey-backed and pro-ISIS groups were responsible for the attacks.

Stating that in addition to Turkey-backed paramilitary structures, pro-ISIS groups were primarily responsible for the attacks, Abdi called on al-Jolani to “review” the method of forming the new Syrian army and the behavior of the armed groups. Abdi said that some groups were using their roles within the army to “create sectarian conflicts and engage in internal conflicts.”

Turkey did not comment

The Turkish Defense Ministry declined to comment on Abdi’s statements, and the Foreign Ministry did not respond to Reuters either.
