The Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation or \u0130HH<\/a>, has turned two houses, from those seized, in the city Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea<\/a> during Operation Peace Spring \u2013 waged on 9 October 2019 \u2013 into institutes for teaching Quran.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Those two houses belong to the family of the Syrian Kurdish dissident journalist, Muhyedin Isso, who were forcibly displaced due to Operation Peace Spring.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On 9 October 2019, Turkish President Rajab Tayyip Erdogan announced the launch of Operation Peace Spring in northern Syria, spearheaded by Turkish forces and allied rebel groups of the National Army of the Syrian Interim Government, operating under the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces.[2]<\/a> A day before the start of the operation, the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces released a statement supporting the Turkish announcement of a looming military operation in the region. The statement said: \u201cThe Coalition supports the efforts of the National Army, the Ministry of Defense and those of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We confirm the readiness of our National Army to combat terrorism in cooperation and joint action with brothers in Turkey.\u201d[3]<\/a><\/p>\n

The Turkish military invasion of Northeastern Syria led to a massive wave of displacement, especially the operation\u2019s onset. According to the United Nations\/UN, on the two weeks that ensued the operation\u2019s launch, about 180,000 people, mostly women and children,[4]<\/a> were displaced, 10,000 people of whom sought refuge in Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). The invasion, furthermore, ended with the Turkish Army\u2019s control of large Syrian territories.<\/p>\n

The two Quran institutes which were named Al-Jazeera and Al Fateh, were inaugurated with a ceremony<\/a> attended by Abdullah Erin<\/a>, the governor of Turkey\u2019s Urfa<\/a>, on 23 June 2020.<\/p>\n

The ceremony featured the graduation of 132 students, among them 100 females, who were granted certificates of Quran memorization, which qualify them for teaching Quran. Abdullah Erin said in a speech he made at the ceremony:<\/p>\n

“This step is part of the work to restore normal life to Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea and to end the destruction.”[5]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On 23 June 2020, the state-run Turkish news agency, Anadolu Agency<\/a>, reported the event<\/a> in the words:[6]<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe have started teachers training courses four months ago in the Salah al-Din al-Ayubbi and Al Jazeera institutes, with the support of iHH.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This suggests that, houses of Isso\u2019s family were seized at least four months before the opening of the two Quran institutes by IHH.<\/p>\n

The Syrian Kurdish journalist, Muhyedin Isso<\/a>, who based in Germany<\/a>, denounced the seizure and the investment of his family\u2019s houses without their permission, considering this act immoral and violating human rights. He told STJ<\/a> that Syrian armed groups seized four houses belong to his family in the neighborhood of al-Mahattah al-Janoubi in Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea and turned two of them to institutes for teaching Quran:<\/p>\n

\u201cMonths ago, I learned that Quran teaching courses are held in our seized house. On 23 June 2020, I saw videos circulated on social media show how a Turkish foundation, which claims the protection of human rights and freedoms, turned two neighboring houses one belongs to my father and the other to my brother, into Quran institutes called Al Jazeera and Al Fateh, without our permission or even our knowledge.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Image 10- a Facebook post by Muhyedin Isso.<\/p>\n

Isso revealed the involvement of the opposition\u2019s local council in Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea<\/a> in seizing two of his family\u2019s houses and giving them to the iHH, which turned them to Quran institutes, one for males and the other for females:<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day after inaugurating the Quran institutes and after I talked to the media about the seizure of our houses, a member of the local council of Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea, called Issa al-Bunni, contacted my father, who displaced to Turkey following Operation Peace Spring, and asked him to sign a document stating that he voluntarily gave up the house. Issa tried to convince my father that they turned his house into a Quran institution to protect it from seizure by armed groups, but my father, however, refused to sign that document and told them to get out of his house.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 23 June 2020, TR. News Agency<\/a> quoted a source in the local council of Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea saying:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe local council helped secure the buildings, and it was the iHH that worked to equip them and to provide logistical support.\u201d[7]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On 17 July 2020, Muhyedin Isso provided STJ with a record of a call between him and Issa al-Bunni, in which the latter admitted seizing the houses of Isso\u2019s family and turning them to institutes for teaching the Quran, without permission from their owners, arguing that teaching Quran in the houses is consider a good deed for their owners, and that Islam does not prevent us from doing good to others without their permission.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took the house from an armed group; you know, us to be in the house is better than the presence of a military force in it. We spent 2.360.000 Syrian pounds to set up and furnish it. This does not count as a seizure; we did this for your benefit and you should thank us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Issa al-Bunni, however, refused to evacuate the houses of Muhyedin Isso\u2019s family, in response to the latter\u2019s talk to the media on the issue, in which he made insults against them.<\/p>\n

Al-Bunni required a public apology from Isso to evacuate the houses.<\/p>\n

Isso shared with STJ the ownership documents of his family\u2019s seized houses, which were turned to Quran institutes by the iHH. The documents show that the two houses are registered to his mother Nazema Ausi Hissou, since his father is a Kurdish from the Ajanib of al-Hasakah, who were stripped of their Syrian nationality as a result of the special census of 1962.<\/p>\n

We hid some details of the contract out of concern for the privacy of the seller and buyer, but we will provide the relevant UN organizations and bodies with the full copy.<\/p>\n

This is the second time the houses of Isso\u2019s family have seized; the first was in 2012 when rebel groups entered Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea led by the Strangers of the Region of Syria\/Ghuraba al-Sham brigade and Al-Nusra Front\/Jabhat al-Nusra to fight Assad force, as they were seized by the latter as of 2013, when the city was taken over by the People’s Protection Units (YPG). In 2019 the houses were seized again by Turkish-backed armed groups during Operation Peace Spring.[8]<\/a><\/p>\n

IHH introduces itself as an advisory member of the UN\u2019s Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and says that it has been working since 1992 with the purpose to deliver aid to all people who are in need, who had a catastrophe, who are victims of war, natural disaster, etc. or wounded, crippled, starved, homeless and persecuted thereof, wherever they are regardless of their religion, language, race or sect and to prevent the violation of the basic human rights and freedoms of those people.\u00a0IHH\u2019s voluntary relief activities have evolved to an official organization in 1995 and spread around five continents as it established a bridge of goodwill stretching from Turkey to\u00a0123 countries.[9]<\/a><\/p>\n
