Turkish-Syrian Border: Turkey and Yonge-Dundas Square

turkish-syrian border: Turkey began its offensive against the northern Syrian city in January, taking full control from the Kurds in March, according to Toronto Star. Against the backdrop of Syria's long-standing civil war, an autonomous Kurdish region at the Turkish-Syrian border was perceived as a threat by Turkey, which has had its own share of Kurdish insurgency movements. The hairstylist, who came from Syria to join her sister here in 2012, has waved protest signs and shouted anti-war slogans at Yonge-Dundas Square every weekend in opposition to Turkey's military action in Afrin. I don't book any client on Saturday after 4 p.m. because I have to be here, said Polo, 32. We need to be their voice so they can be heard and Canada will do something to stop the killing and suffering. My people in Afrin don't have a voice. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
