The General Coordination of Rojava Cantons has released a statement about the continued attacks of the Turkish state against YPG positions in Kobanê and Girê Spî.
The statement pointed to a remarkable increase of the inhuman practices by the AKP government ignoring the international law and the threats uttered by Erdoğan and AKP against Rojava, West Kurdistan, ahead of November 1 election.
The General Coordination of Rojava Cantons stated that; “Putting the decisions of the AKP and Erdoğan into practice instantly, the Turkish military pushes aside the neighbourhood law and respect to a neighboring land by conducting a barbarian bombardment with jets and heavy weapons against the civilian people and YPG positions. The YPG forces that are being targeted by Turkish state's attacks have proved themselves to be the greatest defender of humanity and democracy values by waging a successful fight against the ISIS gangs. YPG have also announced everyone that it struggles for a united federal and democratic Syria. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu's remarks confirming the attacks against YPG positions in Rojava territory has been an official confession of their support to ISIS gangs and their preference of terror instead of democracy.”
Describing these attempts by the Turkish state as a "provocation", the General Coordination of Rojava Cantons urged the international coalition forces to make their stance against this situation clear and put pressure on the Turkish state to end its inhuman attacks.
The Coordination called upon the pro-democracy peoples of Turkey to punish such practices by the Turkish government, remarking that the peoples of Rojava should also give the most meaningful answer to the Turkish state's attacks by standing by the YPG in a stronger way.
