The KCK Information Office issued a statement regarding the ceremony that will be organized in South Kurdistan (Başûrê Kurdistan) by guerrillas.
The statement, which informed that the previously planned arrangements for media outlets and journalists had changed, reads as follows:
"Due to the changing security situation, the details regarding the ceremony planned to take place in Sulaymaniyah had to be revised quickly. The ceremony will proceed as planned, but it will not be broadcast live, and the participation of members of the press will not be possible. We are truly sorry for this and kindly ask for your understanding regarding this urgent last-minute change.
A screen will be set up near the location of the ceremony where video recordings will be shown afterward. This will be the only way we can keep you informed. You are invited to attend there. Some of you may decide not to participate in the ceremony due to this last-minute change in approach; we fully understand and respect that decision, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused."
