Area of operation[edit]

The article states:

"The organisation fights mostly in the densely populated Syriac areas of the Governorates of Aleppo, Damascus, Al-Hasakah, Latakia, and Homs"

I deleted 'Aleppo, Damascus, Latakia and Homs' since this is not true and never was. The Syriac Military Council fights exclusively in the Kurdish-dominated northeast of the country, ie. al-Hasakah province. Except the Sinjar expedition, which was also lead into territory where the YPG had a strong presence at that time, there have been no military operations outside YPG core territory.

There's a good reason why the rest of the article does not state any of the alleged operations in areas outside of al-Hasakah. While the MFS leadership for a while claimed to plan establishing a presence in other provinces, this never happened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.174.118.34 (talk) 23:21, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
