The statement said: "We call on all democrats, anti-fascists, feminists, the ecological movement and anti-war activists to prepare for Day X; the day of an invasion by Turkey on Rojava and the Autonomous Administration of North- & Eastern Syria. In case of an attack, we will give the signal to act. In order to give a proper response to an attack, we must prepare now and be ready to block, disrupt and occupy the supporters of Turkish fascism and defend the achievements of the revolution!

Since 2012, the people of North&Eastern Syria have been organizing & governing themselves in the frame of Democratic Confederalism: Grass-roots democracy, women’s liberation and ecology. After the people of Rojava were able to successfully defend themselves against ISIS, the Turkish state began targeting the region. Since then, the fascist Turkish state has occupied key regions of the democratic self-administration in North&Eastern Syria in three operations, in 2016, 2018, and 2019. The consequences of this are exploitation, oppression, and forced demographic change.

The war of the Turkish state is only possible through the political, military and economic support of the European countries and the USA. Here we can play an important role in the defense of Rojava/North- and Eastern Syria. In October 2019, we have seen that we have the power to exert international pressure on Turkish fascism. We have also shown that we can cause great damage to the fascist Turkish state and its war machine by focusing on physical targets of Turkish interests in our countries and by uniting our common power.

In the face of a Turkish invasion, we are mobilizing for Day X; the day of a renewed invasion against the liberated areas in North&Eastern Syria. Be prepared, because an attack is only a matter of time!"
