“SELF DEFENSE IS A RIGHT”

Emphasizing that self-defense is a right and they will not remain silent against the persecution of the occupying Turkish state in the region, Hawar Şengal, a member of the self-defense unit, said: “All of our trained friends live in this region. Their families and relatives are here. All our friends are the children of this land. Therefore, the protection of these lands is a right. We train ourselves to stand up to the invading and exploitative enemy, to stand on our own feet, and to protect our people and our land. We have faith and hope, we will protect our land.”

"WE ARE HERE TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE"

Stating that the Kurdish and Arab peoples have lived together for years, Kemal Ehmed said, “We are here to protect our people and to expel the invading Turkish state from our lands. Our training is going well”.
