Ayse Göktepe addressed the crowd and condemned Turkey saying that the AKP-MHP suffered a heavy defeat in local elections in Kurdistan, which is why they increased their attacks against Kurdistan.

Göktepe pointed out that the Turkish state attacked Maxmur Camp, which is under the protection of the United Nations, and deliberately targeted civilians. She criticised the silence of both the United Nations and the European Union.

Göktepe condemned the KDP administration, which "cooperates with the Turkish state in its attempt to eliminate the gains of the Kurdish people. The Iraqi state and Western countries remain silent and are therefore partners in the massacres of civilians in Southern Kurdistan. We want the international community to raise its voice against the invasion of Southern Kurdistan."
