NEWS CENTER - ISIS member Saadet Güler from Hatay, staying at the Hol Camp, called out to Turkey to accept them and said: "We got here easily, but getting out is very difficult."

 

Humanitarian and Security Operation began on August 25 to ensure security in the Hol Camp and to capture the secret cells of ISIS under the leadership of the Internal Security Forces of the Northern and Eastern Syria Autonomous Administration, with the support of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Only 20 countries took back the ISIS members which are their citizens so far. There are more than 8 thousand ISIS members and their families in Hol Camp from 50 countries.

 

Saadet Güler (47) from Hatay, made evaluations to the Hawar News Agency (ANHA) regarding the people living in the Hol Camp, where the Humanitarian and Security Campaign continues. Güler, who is married to an ISIS member from Samsun, stated that she and her three children went to Bableman from Antep at the end of 2014, and did not experience any problems to cross over to Syria. Giving information about the cities she stayed in Syria, Güler said: “There were Turkish, Egyptian and Iraqi women among those groups. We could not go out at all in Manbij. It was forbidden. We were only allowed to go to the hospital. There were many Turks in Manbij. They took my husband to a different place, 15 days later my husband came back and we rented a house in Bab. After staying in Bab for a while, we returned to Manbij and stayed in Tabqa. As a result of the bombardment, we were constantly changingr places. Finally, we moved to a house close to Baxoz.”

 

'WE HAVE TAKEN AWAY OUR CHILDREN'S DREAMS'

 

Stating that ISIS has taken away the dreams of children, Güler said: “We did not consider everything and did wrong. We can't get go out alone, out of desperation I had to marry my 18-year-old daughter to a foreigner. My daughter's husband is in prison now. My husband is also imprisoned. There are security problems in the Hol Camp. We cannot move freely. People hurt each other for nothing. I am suffering from asthma and can't cover my face with three layers of veil for this reason. Yet they warn me to cover my face. I never imagined something like this could happen. We came for a better life, but what happened for 3 and a half years was not like how we imagined. We used to be able to communicate with our families when we first joined ISIS. My family never accepted my decision to join ISIS. They used to tell me to come back."

 

CALL TO TURKEY

 

Expressing that Turkey forgot about them, Güler said: “Many people came out of the camp, their states took them back. Nobody wants to live here. Turkey should say that no matter which country we came from, it will take us. Turkey should have made a request to pick us up. We want Turkey to get us out of here in a legal way. I call out to Turkey to take me. I want to ask them why they aren't taking me.  I'm a Turkish citizen, why don't they do something for me? We got here easily, but getting out is very difficult.”
