The Yazidi Youth Association and the Yazidi Young Women Association protested the Turkish state attacks in South Kurdistan.

The youth also commemorated martyr Diyar Xerib, a KCK Presidential Council member and the other guerrillas who lost their life following Turkish air raids on 5 July.

Many young people joined the march chanting slogans and condemning the attacks.

Şehab Reşo made a statement on behalf of the Yazidi Young Union and the Yazidi Young Women Union in Martyrs Square.

“We should rebel against the occupation of the Turkish state. The Turkish state has for a long time increased the occupation attacks on South Kurdistan.

They mostly target senior figures in Kurdistan, such as Mam Zeki and Diyar Xerib. They wanted to destroy the Yazidi will by targeting Mam Zeki. Mam Zeki and Helmet were targeted because they created great fear in the enemy. As young people, we do not accept the attacks, we are students of our martyrs. We will continue their struggle ”.
