Reactions growing over Nusaybin-Qamişlo border wall
Reactions are growing over the wall Turkey has recently started to build on Nusaybin-Qamişlo border.
Preparations are underway for the mass rally BDP (Peace and Democracy Party) has scheduled for 7 November to protest against the border wall.
Speaking about the recent developments in west Kurdistan, BDP deputy co-chair Yüksel Mutlu called on the ruling AKP government to end supporting radical Islamist gang groups.
Mutlu remarked that the Kurdish struggle has become more meaningful with the Rojava revolution, and underlined that the struggle of the Kurdish people could pave the way for the freedom of all peoples in Turkey and the Middle East.
The AKP government -Mutlu said- is trying to separate peoples from each other by building walls on its border to Rojava. Mutlu likened the border wall in Nusaybin to the Berlin wall and stressed that they will not accept this attitude of the government.
BDP Youth Assembly Spokesperson İbrahim Karaman commented the construction of the border walls as the manifestation of the government's mindset, and underlined that the Kurdish youths were determined to demolish the Nusaybin wall and not to leave the border area until the wall construction is ended. “As honorable Kurdish youths, we will demolish that wall which has been built in order to keep a people distant from each other. We will be taking every risk to stop the wall building, even if it costs us our life. The four separate parts of Kurdistan should be united now”, he underlined.
Karaman called on all circles to respond to the construction of border walls and to see the situation in Rojava.
Ahmet Gezen, chair of the BDP organization in Diyarbakır's Bağlar district, said they would be joining the march to the border on 7 November in solidarity with the people of Rojava and their revolution. Gezen pointed out that international forces led by Turkey's AKP government intended to prevent the Rojava revolution, and noted that the Turkish government made every effort to hinder the achievements of the Rojava people, including building walls on the border as a new way of severing Kurds from each other.
Gezen called for mass participation in the march BDP will lead to the border on 7 November.
