Assyrian politician (ADO): "Although being part of the larger (opposition) Coalition, we have clearly opposed Turkey’s entry into Afrin, Ras-ul Ayn, and Tel Abyad, just to mention few issues." joshualandis.com/blog/the-polit… (1)
"We can’t say that the security situation has improved with Turkey’s entry into Syria. The Assyrians and Armenians living in towns and villages along a 120 km border, from Tel Abyad to Rish Ayno (Ras-el Ain), had to migrate." (2)
"Assyrians, who were forced to leave Rish Ayno had to abandon their property and land, which is known to be very fertile & suited for agriculture. The seizure of the land &properties by the so-called “National Army,” ... is a major problem." (3)
"On the other hand, the PYD’s reaction to digg trenches in inhabited areas of civilians, e.g., in Qamishli, Derik, Qabre Hevore, Hassake, is pulling the war into civilian areas and endangering the civilians" (he mean tunnels) (4)
He means tunnels not trenches. I also heard some Christian villagers complaining about the tunnels in their area on the border (5)
