PYD (Democratic Union Party) has released a statement to mark November 1 World Kobanê Day.

Calling attention to the embracement of the historic Kobanê resistance by the international community, the statement by PYD Party Assembly pointed to the critical changes and developments taking place in Syria and the Middle East, saying; “Within this process, Rojava has become a sample with regards to the achievement of a free and shared life and a common fate.”

PYD emphasised that the historic Kobanê resistance witnessed epics by YPG/YPJ forces during their battle against ISIS gangs, noting that; "As has been seen by everyone, it was not a town or a land defended in Kobanê, but rather all the human values against the enemies of humanity.

Remarking that Kobanê victory cannot be evaluated as a military accomplishment alone, the statement by PYD said; "The major victory achieved in Kobanê has been the victory of peace over terror, and the victory of the revolutionary mindset over reactionism, vengefulness and occupation. This is the very reason why Kobanê was embraced by the world humanity and November 1 became the World Kobanê Day owning this resistance. This is a solidarity and support rarely seen in history."

PYD congratulated all the Kurdish people in four parts of Kurdistan and the peoples of entire Rojava, Syria and the world on World Kobanê Day.

Noting that the fair demands of the Syrian peoples remain for a change against the despotic Baath regime, PYD said this struggle of the people will enable the needed democratic change in Syria and the Middle East.

Democratic Union Party ended its statement by reiterating their promise to carry the struggle to victory in loyalty to the martyrs that sacrificed their lives for the land of Kobanê.
