An iftar (fast-breaking) dinner was organized by the Qandil Municipality at the Grand Mosque of Qandil. Hundreds of residents joined the dinner where the AKP/MHP regime’s fascist aggression against South Kurdistan was condemned. People stressed that they will be protecting their lands against Turkey’s invasion attempt.

Speaking before the iftar dinner, mosque imam Ibrahim remarked that the Turkish state’s goal was to occupy not only South Kurdistan but all the four parts of Kurdistan. Ibrahim said Qandil, fortress of resistance throughout history, has been targeted by fascism for a long time. He continued; “The people living here must stand in unity to protect their history and future. We should frustrate the Turkish state’s attacks all together. Qandil is the fortress of resistance in four parts of Kurdistan. Emancipation for the Kurdish people depends on unity.”
