On 9 January 2013, Sakine Cansız, one of the founders of the PKK, Fidan Doğan, the KNK representative in Paris, and Leyla Şaylemez, a member of the youth movement, were murdered by the Turkish intelligence service MIT in Paris. On the tenth anniversary of this massacre, another massacre was carried out on 23 December 2022, claiming the lives of Emine Kara (Evîn Goyî), member of the Executive Council of the KCK, Mîr Perwer (Mehmet Şirin Aydın) from the Kurdish cultural movement and long-time activist Abdurrahman Kızıl in front of the Ahmet Kaya Cultural Center in the French capital. Kurds and their companions will take to the streets in Paris on 6 January 2024 to protest against the two massacres and the ongoing impunity.

The KONGRA- GEL Co-Presidency Council released a statement paying tribute to the martyrs of the two massacres, saying the following:

Although the power behind the massacres is known, the fact that both the 1st and 2nd Paris massacres were carried out in the same way and that the truth has not been brought to light until today shows that France is deeply involved in these massacres.

France, one of the coordinators of the Sykes-Picot and Lausanne treaties, which led to the division and fragmentation of the Kurdistan people and its geography, and its ignorance by reducing it to sub-colonial status, has been supporting the genocide policies of the Turkish state against the Kurdish people within the framework of this agreement for a hundred years.

France is also the centre of the attacks in Europe against the pioneers of the women's movement, which is the ideological line of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle led by Leader Apo (Abdullah Öcalan) and the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) against the hundred-year-old Kurdish genocide plan. France is under political and legal responsibility for the 1st and 2nd Paris massacres.

France is directly to blame as a country. Only by shedding light on the darkness created by these massacres and by prosecuting the real murderers behind the curtain can France come out from under this blame.

We appeal to the French state administration. The hundred-year-old fascist monist Turkish state regime is in the process of collapse. It is not possible for it to continue its policies based on Kurdish genocide, and it has to face the Kurdish question. In this process, France as a country should play a solution-oriented role. In this context, it should both respond to the expectations of the wider public opinion by clarifying the massacres of pioneering Kurdish women and undertake a mission towards the solution of the Kurdish question in this process.

Ensuring justice is the common demand of the Kurdish people, their friends, the wider public opinion in favour of justice, and especially all those who oppose massacres and violence against women."

Appealing to the Kurdish people and their friends, KONGRA-GEL stated the following: "Everyone should be in Paris on 6 January in order to raise the demand for the real killers to be revealed and justice to be done, in order to hold the killers of Kurdish women pioneers to account, in order to let it be known that we will never remain silent and that we will hold those responsible to account, in order to raise our anger against the darkness that is wanted to be perpetuated by massacres."
