Global Defend Kurdistan Protests 11 June
Co-Chairs of the Kurdish Democratic Societies Congress in Europe (KCDK-E) released a written statement against the ever-increasing invasion attacks of the Turkish state in various parts of the Kurdistan territory
The statement emphasised the Turkish state’s aspiration for occupation and genocide and pointed to the use of chemical weapons by the Turkish army in its attacks.
"The Turkish state is bombing the UN-controlled Maxmur refugee camp with its drones without following any rules. Şengal, the land of the world's most ancient people, the Yazidis, are under the threat of genocide.
“Just as millions of Europeans flocked to the streets alongside the Kurds throughout Europe during the Kobane resistance to embrace the Rojava Kurdistan revolution, let's embrace ALL of Kurdistan
Western Kurdistan proudly Kurdish and fighting for independence for a great many years but sadly unheard of until recent history, Eastern Kurdistan always politically active, Southern Kurdistan that has shown what Kurds are able to achieve, Northern Kurdistan containing the largest part of Kurdistan and should be at the forefront of the Kurdish drive for an Independent Kurdistan
“European states and institutions are silent. This silence means complicity in crime,” remarked the statement, which further included the following:
“We urge the public to ensure massive participation in the “Defend Kurdistan/ Defend Revolution” demonstrations to be held on a global scale on June 11 under the leadership of internationalists, to defend Kurdistan against the genocidal war of the Turkish state that threatens the European peoples, humanity and aims for Kurdish genocide and to defend the women-oriented Rojava Kurdistani (Western Kurdistan) Revolution, which has established a common, equal and free life of the peoples.
Let's raise our voices together on a global scale on 11 June. Let's embrace Kurdistan and the freedom fighters together. Let's ensure massive participation in the European-based march and rally to be held in Düsseldorf, Germany, on 25 June under the motto 'Defend Kurdistan against invasion and chemical weapons'.”
