The statement said: “Eight years ago, on 19 July, the free, egalitarian common life revolution of peoples and beliefs took place in Rojava. This revolution, which started in Kobanê, has been an example and hope for the humanity of the world. The libertarian women's revolution of the 21st century deeply influenced the Middle East territory, blocking the interests of reactionary and sovereign powers and represented a hope for humanity.

The statement added: “With the epic resistance against ISIS mercenaries in Kobanê and Rojava, the Revolution has gained great sympathy and support not only in Rojava and the Middle East but all over the world. The Rojava Revolution was carried out not only by Kurds, Arabs, Assyrians, Turks, but also by the resistance of internationalists from many peoples from Europe, America, Canada, the Far East.”
