A central march was staged in the Euphrates Canton against the invading Turkish state's attacks on North-East Syria and women.

During the march that started from the Free Women's Square in Kobanê, posters of journalists Gulistan Tara and Hêro Behadîn, who were martyred in a Turkish drone attack against the journalists' car in Sulaymaniyah on 23 August, and Xalîde Mihemed Şerîf and her son Hejar Ednan Silêman, who were martyred in the car explosion in Enteriyê neighbourhood of Qamishlo yesterday, were displayed.

Carrying posters of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, Kongra Star pennants and banners reading ‘With the will of free women, we will end the occupation and genocide policies’, hundreds of people chanted the slogan ‘Murderer Erdoğan’. The march ended at the Peace Square, where Euphrates Canton Kongra Star Organisation Coordination Member Zozan Bekir addressed the crowd.

Bekir stated that they would avenge the martyrs with the philosophy of ‘Jin Jiyan Azadî’ [Woman, Life, Freedom] and added: “They cannot break our will through these attacks. We will end the mentality of occupation and genocide with the power and will of women.”

Zozan Bekir also drew attention to the joint patrol of Russian forces with the occupying Turkish army in the village of Dêrna Axa in Çilaxa in the Cizire Canton this morning. Noting that a panzer belonging to the Russian forces hit and injured a young woman, Zozan Bekir said, “Conducting joint patrols in our region, Russian and Turkish forces brutally attacked our people who stood against this patrol. They drove their panzers on the people and hit a young woman. In other words, these attacks on Northern and Eastern Syria, especially against women, are not only carried out by the Turkish state, but also by the guarantor states. We will put an end to these massacres.”
