HDP Women’s Council celebrates World Kobanê Day

A press release was read in Ankara by HDP Women’s Council.

To mark the 1 November Kobanê World Day, the HDP (Peoples’ Democratic Party) Women’s Council issued a press release to remind that "since the beginning of the war in Syria, in 2011, a new model of co-existence and self-defence has been developing, getting together Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs, Assyrians, Armenians, Circassians, Chechens".

This model, said the statement "was developed through women who were a fundamental part of the Rojava Revolution and has become a model for the whole Middle East".

The HDP Women’s Council reminded how in "2014 DAESH targeted this model of co-existence and free life and targeted women, by hitting Kobanê".

Many women, said the HDP, lost their life and fell martyrs in the defense of their city. Many martyrs, said the HDP were internationalists women and women coming from North Kurdistan.

The statement added: "What DAESH wanted to make yesterday, the AKP is trying to make today: destroying, with its mentality, the achievements of women".

"They try to destroy the achievements of the Rojava Revolution - continued the statement - but we won't give up the Democratic Autonomous Administration model".
