Hasou further told the paper that ever since the escalation of crisis in Syria, Afrin were under siege in three directions and from the side of Turkey, were under repeated air attacks and different threats.

"Afrin will be turned into Turkish invaders' graveyard similar to Kobani and Raqqa that became the graveyards of ISIL," she underlined.
