The KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Executive Council Presidency has issued a statement drawing attention to the fact that international powers that claim to have set up a coalition to combat ISIS have not intervened in Kobanê.

The KCK said that in Kobanê a struggle similar to the resistance against fascism during WWII had been displayed, adding that the international coalition had not intervened against ISIS.

Remarking that the encouraging of ISIS by coalition war planes bombing other places will not be accepted, KCK stressed that if there is a tragedy in Kobanê then the Kurds and public opinion will hold Turkey, the USA, Europe and the other countries in the coalition responsible.

"The bombing of other places in Syria and Iraq while ignoring Kobanê has aroused suspicion amongst the Kurds and public opinion. If there is a tragedy in Kobanê then the Kurds and public opinion will hold Turkey, the USA, Europe and the other countries in the coalition responsible. It is not acceptable for coalition war planes to strike other places while there is a great resistance going on against ISIS in Kobanê", KCK said and described the attacks of the Turkish state at the Kobanê border as a war against the Kurdish people.

The KCK statement underlined that; "The people of Kobanê and YPG and YPJ fighters have been resisting heroically for 13 days. This resistance, one of the greatest ever seen, is not just for the Kurdish people but is for all humanity, first and foremost the peoples of the Middle East. The revolutionary forces in Rojava are putting up a resistance similar to that displayed against fascism in the Second World War."

They want to be saviours once the massacre has taken place

Remarking that the whole world watches in astonishment while the international coalition strikes other places in Syria and Iraq and ignores what is going on in Kobanê, KCK said this has also aroused suspicion, adding; “If they are reckoning on waiting until a slaughter has taken place and then intervening, as is usually the case, then no one will accept this. Humanity demands something be done before a massacre takes place.”

The Turkish state's complicity in crime has been seen again

“The Turkish state, which says it will join the coalition, is constantly opening fire on YPG fighters and vehicles and obstructing their movement. It has also fired on the people of Kobanê, killing one and wounding two others, demonstrating its complicity with ISIS”, KCK recalled, adding that in this way Turkey has declared war on all the people of Kurdistan. KCK pointed out that the Kurdish people should respond to this by stepping up their struggle.

They are encouraging ISIS by hitting other places

The KCK statement emphasised that "If today Kobanê is under attack it is because the Rojava revolution resisted ISIS fascism before anyone else. If there is a tragedy in Kobanê then the Kurds and public opinion will hold Turkey, the USA, Europe and the other countries in the coalition responsible.”

KCK also stated that it is not acceptable for coalition war planes to strike other places while there is a great resistance going on against ISIS in Kobanê.

The KCK ended the statement by calling on all the peoples of the world to support the resistance of the people of Kobanê, to repulse and defeat ISIS fascism and make the Kobanê resistance the beginning of the end for this fascism.
