Archaeological finds from Afrin illegally exported to Turkey

The Main Directorate of Antiquities and Museums of Syria has appealed to international organizations, lawyers, and scientists with a call to intervene with the destructive activity of Turkish troops in the territory of the captured archaeological sites of Afrin.

According to a Kurdish source, in the Sherawa region of Afrin, Turkish troops deployed special equipment to begin excavations in the local village of Birj Yevdalo. This village is home to numerous historical monuments dating back to the times of the Roman Empire. Anything found here is being sent to Turkey.

Similar cases have already happened in Afrin earlier when artifacts from different areas of Afrin were illegally transported to Turkey.
