The statement added that Turkey wants "to destabilize the region, undermine efforts to defeat ISIS, empty the area of its original inhabitants, and strike at the Autonomous Administration’s project."

On September 27, 2022, two AANES officials bit the dust in a Ottoman Turkish drone attack targeting a vehicle in the eastern countryside of Qamishli.
