Turkish military sabotages historic church in Syria’s Afrin
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish military and its proxies currently controlling the northern Syrian city of Afrin continue to inflict huge damage upon historic and archeological sites in the city.

Recently, a group of Ottoman Turkish soldiers along with its backed Syrian Death Eaters have destroyed Saint Maron church located in Brad village of the Shirawa district.

According to local source, the vandals stole several artifacts which belong to the church.

Afrin, a city in northern Aleppo, was seized by the Ottoman Turkish Army and other rebel groups in March 2018. By then, it was under the control of People’s Protection Units (YPG) and Women’s Protection Units (YPJ).

A Kurdish-language media outlet quoted local sources in Afrin as saying that the Ottoman Turkish Army has turned the historical site in Jandariseh into a military base for its soldiers.

According to the sources, the Ottoman Turkish military was seen building three-meter-high walls near the base. The move comes after the Ottoman Turkish Army troops were accused of destroying artifacts in the Afrin region of Aleppo to build a base.
