French intellectuals to Macron: How many dead before you act?

The open letter said: "We must act immediately in favour of our allies, the Kurds, who have been subjected to Turkish attacks."

An open letter to President Emmanuel Macron was sent by French bar associations and intellectuals who criticized the attitude of Western states indifferent to the invasion attacks against the Kurds and the people of Rojava.

Tens of thousands of people have already supported the campaign initiated by the former president of the Paris Bar Association, Christian Charrière-Bournazel.

Directly addressed to French President Emmanuel Macron, the first signatories of the letter include former Foreign Minister and lawyer Roland Dumas and dozens of presidents of bar associations.

The open letter said: "We must act immediately in favour of our allies, the Kurds, who have been subjected to Turkish attacks."

The letter added: "How many more children should die for Macron, who represents France, to react?"

Referring to the Munich Treaty, which allowed Nazi Germany to invade Czechoslovakia in 1938 the letter underlines that these circumstances are now repeated thanks to the silence about the Turkish state attacks.
