'I left Syria but won't leave Turkey': Syrian mother
KILIS, TURKEY - JANUARY 25: The PYD/PKK terrorist organization evoked painful memories for a Syrian family by carrying out a rocket attack in a southeastern Turkish town, where their current home is located. Neda Ahmar, the 51-year-old mother of the family, was enjoying a cup of tea with her family when a PYD/PKK rocket projectile fired from Syria hit the roof of their home in Turkeys border province of Kilis. They are trying to get over the traumatic effect of the incident with the full support of officials and their neighbors. The family left its homeland Syria for Turkey five years ago due to the civil war, Ahmar said and expressed her love for Kilis, the place they now called home. I have never left Kilis since we came from Syria, and I will never leave it; Kilis is my homeland, the Syrian mother told Anadolu Agency in an exclusive interview. Talking about their new life in Turkey, Ahmar said they were grateful for the living conditions in Turkey.
"There was war in Syria. We came here so that we could be at ease a little, but this has happened to us here. We were comfortable here, my children were attending school, we used the hospitals, and we had no problems," she said, blaming the U.S. and the PKK for all of what was happening now. She said everything had become topsy-turvy with the totally unexpected landing of the rocket on their home, adding, however, that all the officials in town rushed to help them. We experienced war once in Syria, and we dont want it here, Ahmar added.
