Im brian thomas great to have you with us the United States will be moving troops into Eastern Syria to help protect the regions oil fields from Islamic State and thats according to u. S. Defense officials the announcement coming after the decision by President Trump to pull American Forces out of syria now that pave the way for turkeys assault on Kurdish Forces there have been close allies a cease fire deal brokered by the u. S. Has allowed turkey to create a socalled safe zone along the border which its now patrolling with russian help. Wanna see International Says its Research Backs up the claims that turkey has been forcibly returning thousands of Syrian Refugees across the border the findings suggest that thousands of people were illegally returned before russian and Turkish Forces and stablished the socalled safe zone that. Turkey says that they went back willingly there are 3 and a half 1000000 Syrian Refugees living in turkey many of them in camps some 300000 of them have so far returned to syria and turkey plans to resettle a further 1000000. More on this im joined now by anna shea amnesties researcher on Refugee Rights thanks so much for coming in. Are the areas where turkey according to reports is forcibly returning Syrian Refugees in fact safe and how many forced for attorneys are there now. No heart syria is safe for refugees to be hurt returned to the United Nations is pretty clear on that the people i spoke with who they were sent to a province in northwestern syria and this is absolutely not safe or returns its an area in which and its international documented crimes against humanity by Syrian Forces in may 21000 its been described as humanitarian nightmare so you know this is not safe in terms of numbers there are no official statistics from the church started as you mentioned they say that 300000 people have returned voluntarily and this International Disputes this our Research Shows that at the very least hundreds of people are being rounded up arbitrarily put on buses handcuffs and sent on buses across the border to work on ok now where do you think this is heading turkey has set up an affective resettlement zone inside northEastern Syria do you think that the turkish government will make good on his plans to resettle as acclaimed says it wants to do 1000000 Syrian Refugees in that safe zone. Very difficult the same turkey has had longstanding plans to set up this socalled safe zone the timing of this is unclear but International Law is perfectly. Straightforward on this at this point there is no possibility of any safer turns to syria its time we did our europe has now closed off its borders to read 3 days of from syria turkey has taken in more than 3 and a half 1000000 Syrian Refugees doesnt turkey deserve some recognition for what theyve done for seems to us they absolutely do and thats something that i was here tasha constantly reiterate in our communications with the turkish government we recognize their achievements in sheltering over 3650000 syracuse and 400000 people from other nations so this is an undeniable achievement but this generosity cannot have its Ongoing International and National Domestic law allegations toward this population what are you doing to to get turkey to turn around its position on resettling Syrian Refugees to northern syria. Will be engaged in an advocacy meetings with the turkish government whenever theyre willing to meet with us we provided the findings of this report ahead of time to the authorities we also gave in. The efforts with other countries including in the European Union to. Bring more Syrian Refugees from turkey to those countries because. Other countries apart from turkey only resettled about 330000 Syrian Refugees from turkey so the point is turkey needs to protect the syrian population within its territory and other countries especially in europe need to bring some of those Syrian Refugees to safety a machine from Amnesty International thank you very much for coming in.
