In a written statement released on Thursday, Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) and Democratic Society Congress (DTK) Woman's Councils have announced mass demonstrations in protest against the embargo imposed on the people of Rojava, West Kurdistan.

The mass demonstration by DTK Woman's Council will take place in the Nusaybin district of Mardin on 26 January and the one by BDP Woman's Council at the same place on 3 February. The demonstrations will also be joined by woman deputies and co-chairs of both organizations.

The joint statement by DTK and BDP Woman's Councils condemned the execution of Sakine Cansız, a co-founder of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party), Fidan Doğan, representative of the KNK (Kurdistan National Congress) in Paris and Leyla Şaylemez, member of the Kurdish youth movement in Paris on 9 January, and evaluated the killings as a part of the AKP's plan to hinder the Middle East Renaissance led by Kurds.

The Woman's Councils remarked that the AKP government has not only been imposing a political and economic embargo on Rojava Kurdistan by closing its border gates and thus preventing people from meeting their daily needs but also organizing gang groups and sending them into Rojova to hinder the rising revolution there.

The BDP and DTK Woman's Councils ended their statement by calling on the AKP government to give an end to its war policy and to urgently open its border gates to enable the passage of civilians and the delivery of aid materials sent to the region.
