Germany-wide protests against Turkish war policy

Under the slogan "Everywhere is Kurdistan, everywhere is resistance" Kurds in Germany took to the streets to protest against the extermination war of the Turkish state.

In many cities in Germany there have been protests against the Turkish extermination campaign in Kurdistan. The Kurdish umbrella organisation KON-MED (Confederation of the Kurdistan Communities in Germany) called for protests against the Turkish war policy under the motto "Everywhere is Kurdistan, everywhere is resistance".

The only answer to this "genocidal plan" of the Turkish state is "total resistance", it said in the appeal: "To save a people from genocide can only succeed through unity, joint action and rebellion. Those who remain silent and do not resist in the face of attacks on our people will have to answer to history.”
