The members of the council and its administration met on al-Tilal Street in the center of Kobani and the co-chair of the Kobani Canton Council, Mustafa Ito “It is incumbent upon all to stand up to the Turkish aggression against the region and the catastrophe it caused to the inhabitants of northern and eastern Syria, killing, destruction, looting and displacement of the original inhabitants of the region.

He stressed the need for people to refrain from importing Turkish-made goods to affect the Turkish economy, which supports the Turkish aggression on the region.
