Your success is a success for the peoples of  Rojava, Northern Syria, Turkey and the cities of Amed, Kobane, Afrin and Cizre that paid with the blood of their martyrs the way to freedom."

The statement recalled that "the Kurdish people in North Kurdistan have been fighting against the dominant system for years. This popular struggle is based on the will of society and unite Kurds, Turks and other peoples and sections of societ and has proved succesfull despite the efforts by the AKP.

The AKP mentality, led by Erdoğan, is based on a demagogy aimed at breaking the will of the people who want democracy. For this reason - the statement added - it is developing hostility and attacks on Syria and Iraq." 

The statement ended saying: "As Syrian Democratic Council we follow the labor and struggle based on the idea and philosophy of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan with enthusiasm and pride. Your party candidate Demirtas and your party members were subjected to brutal attacks and obstacles.

Nevertheless the people insisted on pursuing peace, democracy and justice against the oppression and the rule of the sovereigns."
