Tens of university students and faculty members attended the first part of the graduation ceremony of Kobanê University students.

With the presence of the students’ families, the celebration was held in the Euphrates Hall on the Aleppo-Kobanê route.

The occasion, which began with a commemoration in memory of martyrs, was followed by a speech by Kobanê University Co-President Şêrîn Mislim.

"The establishment of Kobanê University in the town following the war is both a sacred and historical step. As World Kobanê Day approaches, we salute Kobanê's resilience," Şêrîn Mislim stated.

Remarking that the students are architects of the future, Mislim continued, “We hope that the graduates will fight with their pens and ideas for the revolution that is growing in the territory, for our region, and our civilization.”

The University Administration presented the students with graduation certificates during the celebration, which was accompanied by songs and dances.

Students who received their diplomas paid honour to the martyrs who were the pioneers of the revolution by visiting the Martyr Dicle Cemetery.

30 students graduated from Kobanê University, which has 640 students.
