Kongra Star Coordination members Rîhan Loqo and Elif Şêx Mihemed condemned the Turkish state's attacks on Kurdistan and said that the Turkish state wants to renew the Ottoman project with these attacks.
Kongra Star Coordination member Rîhan Loqo said that the Turkish state and KDP will not achieve their goals with their attacks on Medya Defense Areas.
Reacting to the KDP's cooperation with the invading Turkish state, Rîhan Loqo said: "The invading Turkish state's attacks on the Medya Defense Areas and the Kurdistan lands in general started again with a new concept in 2016. The Turkish state wants to realize the Ottoman dreams through war.
The Turkish state has been incessantly attacking the Kurdish people since 2016 to destroy their values, culture, language and existence. The fascist Turkish state, which wanted to occupy Garê in 2021, suffered a defeat at the hands of the resistance of the guerrillas. The Turkish state, which launched an attack on Medya Defense Areas after the Garê defeat, commits all kinds of war crimes, including chemical weapons, and international states and human rights organizations remain silent on this situation.”
Loqo added: “The Turkish state and the KDP first launched an airstrike on the Medya Defense Areas on April 14, after their talks. On April 17, with the support of many states, a large air and land attack was carried out. This war is a war of existence-nonexistence. Because the Turkish state, which is in a major crisis, still wants to find the solution to its crisis in war. The KDP is openly collaborating with the Turkish state in the invasion attacks. Against this, everyone should support the guerrillas. We must show the real face of the KDP and the Turkish state to the whole world through our actions and works."
Attacks against the people of Afrin
Kongra Star Coordination member Elif Şêx Mihemed stated that the Turkish state once again launched an attack on the lands of Kurdistan in order to realize the Ottoman dreams.
Pointing out that Rojava and Shengal were attacked at the same time as the Medya Defense Areas, Elif Şêx Mihemed added: "The people of Afrin who migrated to Shehba due to the invasion of their land, and continue their resistance here, are still exposed to the attacks of the Turkish state. The Turkish state is targeting civilians with reconnaissance planes. However, this policy of attack will come to nothing thanks to the resistance of the people. Martyrs are being killed every day in the territory of Kurdistan. With our resistance, we will liberate Rêber Apo [Abdullah Öcalan] and save the lands of Kurdistan from occupation."
