The Defend Kurdistan Initiative which was declared to defend the fundamental rights of Kurdish people and share reaction to the war in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) has visited Laborers Party (Hizbi Zehmetkêşan) in Sulaymaniyah.
On June 14, an international delegation on behalf of almost 150 politicians, human rights activists, journalists, academics, members of parliament, political activists, ecologists and feminists from all over Europe announced the international initiative “DEFEND KURDISTAN against the Turkish occupation!" in Hewlêr (Erbil). The campaign demands an immediate stop of the Turkish attacks on South Kurdistan and a withdrawal of all Turkish troops and Islamist mercenaries. It is also directed against the collaboration of South Kurdistan’s ruling party KDP with Turkish fascism.
The Initiative continues its talks seeking achievement of national unity among Kurdish parties and a common stance against the Turkish state’s ongoing occupation attacks against the region.
Members of the international initiative have visited the Hizbi Zehmetkêşan (Laborers Party) party on Saturday. The delegation was welcomed by party official Ehmed Xıdır and other members.
The meeting witnessed a discussion of Turkey’s occupation attacks as well as formation of a national front against attacks.
The Laborers Party officials made it clear that their party’s approach has always based on patriotism and that they will support any effort seeking peace and unity.
The Defend Kurdistan Initiative will reportedly continue its visits and talks with various parties in South Kurdistan in the same framework.
