The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), a part of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, has released a statement on the anniversary of the "Peace Spring" operation, where the Turkish Armed Forces captured the cities of Serêkaniyê (Ras al-Ain) and Girê Spî (Tal Abyad) in northern Syria.

In the statement, the SDC noted that four years after the operation, Turkey's attacks on North and East Syria continue. They called on the international coalition led by the United States, as well as Russia, to take action.

According to Hawar News Agency (ANHA), the statement criticized Turkey's airstrikes and drone attacks on the region's infrastructure and energy centers. It emphasized that Turkey's ongoing attacks on the region have tragically affected the lives of more than five million people.
