Hasaka, SANA- In cooperation and coordination with Turkish regime-backed terrorists, the Turkish Grain Board (TMO) started to loot the wheat and barley crops which are stolen from the farmers in the Syrian al-Jazeera, according to media reports and local sources .
The sources said that the Turkish regime opened its storehouses for this purpose after forcing the farmers by weapons to hand over their crops to centers run by terrorists and Turkish brokers in Ras al-Ayn area in Hasaka northern countryside, then to smuggle them to Turkish territories through illegal crossings.
The sources added that the crops which are looted from the farmers under pressure and threat constitute the production of their agricultural lands which are not affected by fires ignited by terrorists since the beginning of the current harvest season and targeted thousands hectares of the lands planted with wheat and barley with the aim of terrifying the farmers to force them to hand their crops to the terrorists and then to smuggle them to Turkey through Turkish brokers.
In a preemptive measure to steal the Syrian crops, the Turkish occupation forces and their mercenaries of terrorist organizations demanded the farmers to hand over more than 15 percent of their crops after threatening them to burn their fields if they don’t comply with this measure.
