Thousands have gathered in guerilla regions for the Newroz celebrations organised by Tevgera Azadi with the slogan “Make Newroz the victory of peoples and Leader Apo’s freedom with National Resistance”.

All eyes are on the messages to be sent from the Qandil Newroz in this 2016 Newroz which bears the mark of resistance. As in the previous years, thousands of Kurds have walked to the Newroz field starting from last night. Kurdish people waiting impatiently for the morning to come in the tents set up in the Newroz field built fires and danced the halay in dozens of spots in the area.

It is expected that the declaration of Rojava-Northern Syria Democratic Federation and the self-government resistance developing in Northern Kurdistan to put their mark on the celebrations.

In the Qandil Newroz, many artists will take the stage, including Nasır Rezazi as well as guerrilla bands Koma Awaze Çiya and Koma Rojyar.
