In a written statement on the conference, MLKP Rojava said: “The Rojava Revolution, where thousands of male and female fighters reached immortality and tens of thousands were wounded, reached a new level with the defeat of the political Islamic fascist ISIS gangs supported by the colonialist Turkish state.”

“It is a joint goal for the region’s colonialist states and the imperialists to empty the Rojava Revolution of its revolutionary democratic content,” said the statement and continued: “Defending our revolution with a revolutionary popular fight and rescuing our occupied lands continue to be a primary duty for us.”

The statement also said the following:

“Developing a democratic popular government and advancing on the path to socialism are our fundamental second tasks. Towards this goal, it is among the fundamental duties of communists to implement the bottom-up commune and popular assemblies system, develop collective popular ownership in agriculture, trade and industry against capitalist relationships, attribute the revolution more to the poor and the dispossessed, spread the women’s revolution to every household, revive the cultural life, and organize the destructive power of youth as a constructive revolutionary energy.

Whatever the price may be, we will defend the Rojava Revolution, we will develop our democratic revolution and we will advance on the path of socialism. We will spread the revolution throughout Syria and the Middle East, and combine it with the revolution in Turkey and Kurdistan.”
