Kurdish youth march from Lavrio to Athens

Young people who plan to reach Athens on October 10 will walk to the Turkish Consulate with new participation in Academia Square.

Kurdish youth in Greece started a long march from Lavrio to Athens to condemn the October 9, 1998 plot against Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and salute KCK’s move.

The march, led by the Revolutionary Youth Movement (Tevgera Ciwanên Şoreşger-TCŞ) and the Kurdistan Cultural Center, is to last for three days.

Tens of young people came together in the city of Lavrio before starting the march under the slogan " End to isolation, fascism and occupation; Time for freedom".

Hundreds of people participated in the march at the starting point to support the youth.

Carrying posters of the Kurdish People's Leader, PKK and KCK flags and singing anthems, young people distributed leaflets regarding the international conspiracy and the occupation attacks of the Turkish state in Kurdistan territory.

The freedom of the Kurdish People's Leader was demanded during the march where slogans were frequently chanted condemning the conspiracy and isolation.

The first day of the march will end in the town of Marco Polo. Young people who plan to reach Athens on October 10 will walk to the Turkish Consulate with new participation in Academia Square.
