"Hassan said that in the center of Afrin city and on the Aleppo-Afrin road, residents were obstructed. “The Kurdistan flag is being trampled, and people are forced to walk over the flag,” he said, adding that those committing the violations were people who were previously in armed groups from the eastern Deir ez-Zor province."
