KON-MED organizes demos in Germany against ISIS and Erdogan

KON-MED is organising demonstrations in seven cities in Germany tomorrow to protest the attacks by ISIS in France and Austria. KON-MED calls on Europe to take a stand against the Erdogan regime, which is arming the gangs.

The Confederation of Kurdistan Communities in Germany (KON-MED) will hold seven separate demonstrations across the country tomorrow to protest the attacks by ISIS in the French capital of Paris and Nice and in Austria's capital Vienna.

The protests will condemn the murder of a teacher in France on October 16, three people in the city of Nice on October 29, and the murder of 4 people on the evening of November 2 in Vienna, the capital of Austria.

The written statement made by the KON-MED co-chairs emphasized that Erdogan and his regime are the leading supporters of Islamist forces worldwide.

Calling on the whole world to take action on this issue, KON-MED stated the following:

“Islamist terrorists are not the perpetrators alone, Islamism and jihadists have been supported by NATO countries for decades to destabilize the Middle East and to consolidate their economic geopolitical interests. This must end now!

"ISIS BEING ARMED BY ERDOĞAN AND AKP-MHP FASCISM"

There have been terrorist attacks in France and Vienna. We strongly condemn such attacks and murders carried out in the name of so-called religion. It is dictator Erdogan and the AKP-MHP fascism which are familiar with this ISIS barbarism, protecting, nurturing and arming this gang. European states still support this fascist dictator militarily, economically and politically and continue to provide arms.

In particular, Erdogan wants to instill fear among European states and peoples, blackmail them with terrorist acts and thus gain power. European states should not turn a blind eye to wars and massacres carried out with the help of jihadist gangs in and around Kurdistan.

Erdogan's hate speech against Europe has mobilized jihadists around the world for some time. In particular, the German Federal government continues to transfer billions of euros to the regime of despot Erdogan and to support it with unclear arms deals.

“SEVERE SANCTIONS MUST BE IMPOSED”

It is necessary to fight jointly against these fascist AKP/MHP and Islamist gangs not only inside but also outside. The support of the Federal Government of Germany to the Erdogan regime must be ended and all European countries must impose severe sanctions on the Erdogan regime.

The Turkish state not only supports ISIS ideology in Syria but is also active as a war instigator in many countries in the region. Following the military aggression in Libya, Southern Kurdistan, and Nagorno-Karabakh, the AKP-MHP fascist Turkish militaristic policy has turned towards Europe and spread.

As states-governments and representatives of all non-governmental organizations should take responsibility, practical applications against the developing fascism and its jihadist gangs should be considered.

DEMONSTRATIONS WILL BE HELD IN SEVEN CITIES

As KON-MED, we, together with all peoples who defend peace, freedom, democracy and the common values of the peoples, especially the institutions of the Kurdish people and other peoples who defend freedom, peace and democracy against ISIS and its protector Fascist Erdogan, we call for strong participation in the demonstrations on Saturday, November 7, which will be organized with our friends in Germany, in order to protest the terrorist massacres and to commemorate those who lost their lives.
