People of Girkê Legê, province of Qamishlo came together in Martyr Xebat Square to protest the attacks of the invading Turkish state against North and East Syria, Medya Defense Areas and the isolation on Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan.

Speaking on behalf of the PYD General Assembly, Abdülkerim Saruxan said: “As the PYD party serving the people of North and East Syria, we say no to the occupation of the Turkish state.
