KONGRA-GEL Co-Presidency Council called for mobilization to defend the Rojava revolution in the face of the Turkish state’s deliberate attacks against civilians in North-East Syria.
In a written statement regarding the Turkish state's invasion attacks on North-East Syria, KONGRA-GEL Co-Presidency Council called Turkey’s deliberate targeting of the civilian population at the Tishrin Dam “terrorist attacks” that are completely unacceptable.
Strongly protesting the attacks, KONGRA-GEL called on international organizations to fulfill their responsibilities against “these terrorist attacks that have no place in any law.”
The KONGRA-GEL statement on Monday said the following: “The people of northern and eastern Syria lost thousands of martyrs to stop ISIS attacks and make them fail, protecting all humanity against this savagery. At that time, the international community fulfilled its humanitarian duty by standing up against ISIS.
What ISIS did in the past is now being done directly by the Turkish state and its SNA mercenaries against the people of Rojava. The international community must take an urgent moral and conscientious stance against these terrorist attacks by the Turkish state. Remaining silent in the face of these attacks will lead to greater massacres. As in the past, the international community should give hope and confidence to all humanity with its sensitivity on this issue.
We salute with respect the will of the peoples of North and East Syria against the mercenary attacks led directly by the Turkish state. No power can defeat this will that is locked on a free and dignified life. We salute with respect and gratitude the folk artist Bavê Teyar (Cuma Xelîl) and all our other martyrs who fell during the vigil at the Tishrin Dam. The orphaned baby Tala has also become one of the symbols of this resistance.
We appeal to all our people living in the country and abroad. The resistance around the Tishrin Dam and Qereqozax Bridge and the resistance in Kobanê have similar strategic importance. We must frustrate the plans of the forces that aim to destroy the achievements of our people, or to narrow them if possible. Protecting the achievements of the Rojava revolution is the first official step towards the overthrow of Turkish state fascism. It is the culmination of the struggle for democracy and freedom carried out within the framework of the ‘Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan, a political solution to the Kurdish question’ campaign.
We call on our people living in the country and abroad and our international friends to mobilize in every field they are in to support the Rojava revolution. We must first raise our voices to mobilize international public opinion.
2025 will be a final year in which the anti-Kurdish fascism is defeated and freedom and democracy triumph. With this belief, enthusiasm and excitement, we call on everyone to mobilize for Rojava.”
