The Mesopotamian Faiths Platform described the murder of Mam Zeki Şengali as the continuation of the genocide of the Yazidi people.

The Mesopotamian Beliefs Platform made up of NAV-YEK, FEDA, CIK, Mesopotamian Peoples' Congress-Assyrians / Syriacs, has released a written statement on the murder of Mam Zeki Şengali.

Şengali, member of the Yazidi Society Coordination and the KCK Executive council, was martyred as a result of Turkish army airstrikes on 15 August after a commemoration for the anniversary of the 3 August 2014 massacre carried out by the Islamic State against the Yazidi people in Kocho village of Shengal.

The statement said that the Turkish state attacked Shengal in cooperation with Baghdad and South Kurdistan government. It was emphasized that the massacre of Şengali was the continuation of the genocide and imperialist polices against the Yazidi people.

Erdogan-Bahçeli fascism, said the statement, has attacked all peoples and beliefs. 

The statement added that the death of HPG Commander Atakan Mahir in Dersim and Zeki Şengali are the continuation of 'barbaric attacks'.

"We, as the Mesopotamian Faiths Platform, - said the statement - pay tribute to these martyrs, two loved and popular leaders and martyrs. We promise to walk in their path."
