The KCK Executive Council Co-Presidency has issued an appeal calling on the people of Kurdistan, first and foremost the people of Urfa, to make joining the Kobanê resistance and the struggle against ISIS the struggle of the entire people of Kurdistan; "Let us remove the borders, unite Urfa with Kobanê, defeat the ISIS aggressors and turn the Rojava Revolution into the revolution of Syria and the whole Middle East."

The KCK statement noted that the resistance of the people of Kobanê had encouraged democratic struggle everywhere, adding: "tens of thousands of youths must join the resistance and respond to ISIS fascism."

‘Turkey is behind the ISIS gangs'

The KCK statement continued: "However much they deny it, there is no doubt that one of the powers behind ISIS is Turkey. The Turkish state is using ISIS to attack the Rojava revolution and all Kurdish people.  This is how it is carrying out its dirty war against the Kurdish freedom struggle. The KDP, which is allied with Turkey, said Turkey did not support it when it was attacked by ISIS. This demonstrates that Turkey-ISIS relations are deeper and more comprehensive than Turkey-KDP relations. The AKP government is endeavouring to overcome its isolation in the region through ISIS. The world's media has documented this relationship. The release of 49 members of the Turkish consular staff came about as a result of this support for ISIS. The hostages were released in particular due to Turkish collaboration with ISIS in its latest assault on Kobanê."

‘Turkey is maintaining its most hypocritical policy'

The KCK statement emphasised the hypocrisy of Turkish policy, saying: "On the one hand it is using ISIS to attack the Kurdish people, and on the other it is making propaganda about how it is welcoming those who come to its border. This will go down in history as a blatant example of hypocrisy. One of Turkey's aims is to empty Kobanê of Kurds, thereby breaking the positive effect of the Rojava Revolution on North Kurdistan."

The KCK statement emphasised that the Kobanê revolution should be carried to Urfa, and ISIS fascism drowned in the blood it has shed by the Rojava revolution combining with the revolution in North Kurdistan

‘Kurds from the North must go to Kobanê and Rojava'

"Tens of thousands of youths must join the resistance and respond to ISIS fascism," the statement continued, adding that in this way the Turkish state and AKP's anti-Kurdish policies could be defeated.

"At this moment the Turkish state and AKP has no resolution policy. 'It is using ISIS to throttle democratic yearnings."

‘ISIS attacks should be seen as attacks by Turkey'

The KCK statement concluded with a call to arms: "The resistance against ISIS in Kobanê should be turned into a resistance against the AKP government. Join the Kobanê resistance and make the struggle against ISIS the struggle of the entire people of Kurdistan. Let us remove the borders, unite Urfa with Kobanê, defeat the ISIS aggressors and turn the Rojava Revolution into the revolution of Syria and the whole Middle East." 

The KCK Executive Council statement ended by commemorating those who have fallen during the struggle in Kobanê.
