The statement clarified that “the continuation of these attacks reflects Damascus’s insistence on the option of military escalation,” and warned that their objective is to strike the state of brotherhood among the components of northern and eastern Syria, incite strife and violence, target the indigenous components, and impose a single color at the expense of the existing diversity in the region.
