Newroz reception in Brussels
Figures in support of the Kurdish people, as well as European legislators, attended the Newroz reception in Belgium.
The Kurdistan National Congress (KNK) and the Kurdish Institute in Belgium collaborated to organize a Newroz reception in Brussels.
Belgian figures and European MPs who have been working in solidarity for the Kurdish people for years attended the reception at the De Markten Cultural Center.
In the speech made on behalf of the organization, the following remarks were made:
“Newroz, which has now become international, is celebrated by people who own up the Kurdish people's freedom struggle as their own. Newroz, which represents a 2,631 year-old tradition of resistance, signifies the pinnacle of the Kurdish People's Freedom Struggle today. We wanted to see our comrades and to celebrate the jolliest day of the resistance together."
Speeches about the significance and value of Newroz were delivered during the reception in Flemish, French, and English.
Costas Mavrides, a Member of the European Parliament from the S&D party, delivered a speech during the reception.
