Kurds living in Sydney commemorated those who lost their lives in the Roboski Massacre, on 28 December 2011.

Former HDP MP Ferhat Encu participated in the event organized by the Democratic Kurdish Community Center via Skype.

Encu: Murderers awarded

Encu said: "Those who ordered this massacre are now in charge of the state because no one has held them accountable for it. Today, harassment and massacres continue. In the 8 years since Roboski Massacre we have witnessed massacres in Sur, Nusaybin and Cizre. Hundreds of people were killed and this mentality was rewarded and the responsible brought to the highest level of the state." 

DTKF co-chair Ismet Tastan pointed out that the massacre in Roboski was ordered by Erdoğan. Taştan added: "The Kurdish people will not abandon the quest for justice. We can respond to such massacres by establishing our national unity."
