The Kurdish European association KCDK-E called on Kurds in Europe to attend this year's Newroz celebrations and has published a calendar of events.

The central Newroz celebration will take place on 23 March in Frankfurt am Main, but celebrations will actually begin this weekend. There will be dozens of other events in Germany, France, England, Austria, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Cyprus, as well as announced in Canada and Australia.

Newroz is celebrated by various peoples in the Middle East on 21 March as the beginning of spring and the New Year. The KCDK-E underlined the importance to giving voice to the campaign “Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan and a political solution to the Kurdish question” at this year’s events and called on everyone to attend the demonstrations also to protest the war in Kurdistan.

The call said that the Turkish AKP-MHP government wants to crush the Kurdish people's struggle for freedom with attacks on Rojava, Shengal and the Medya Defense Areas that violate international law and underlined the situation of total isolation in which Abdullah Öcalan has been kept for three years.

In addition, the statement underlined the importance of the local elections that will take place in Turkey on 31 March. Newroz, said the KCDK-E, is therefore "an important occasion to express the determination to resist and, as a Kurdish nation, to demand the release of Öcalan and a solution to the Kurdish question together with all people who stand for freedom and equality."

The Newroz calendar published by KCDK-E is as follows:
