Humanitarian Defence and Solidarity Association (İMKANDER) Gaziantep Office Head Said Gökdere was interviewed by AA correspondent and explained that there were nearly 80 Turkmen villages between Jarabulus and Choban Bayk town in Aleppo/Syria and that people living there were living under pressure from the terrorist organisation ISIS.
Stating that terrorist organisations in Syria were being exploited as "puppets", which also posed a risk for Turkey's national sovereignty, too, Gökdere continued as follows: "It is no longer bearable. Rockets are launched in Kilis. Howitzers are dropped in Karkamış district of Gaziantep. People living in villages on the border line were too afraid to collect pistachio in their garden, fearing that a bomb could be dropped any moment. Thankfully 1500 fighters from Free Syrian Army (FSA) involved in the operation.".
