The 16th foundation anniversary of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) was celebrated in Dirbesiye district of Heseke with the participation of hundreds of people from districts of Heseke.

Speaking at the event which began with a minute’s silence in remembrance of martyrs of freedom struggle, PYD Co-chair Shahoz Hesen said; “Our party undertook a historic role and adopted the mission of solving the Kurdish question and expanding the democratic system to entire Syria.”

Hesen remarked that they were continuing with their struggle for the solution of all problems in Syria, adding; “We are faced with very critical dangers. The first one of these is the occupation of Afrin. The second is the Turkish state’s occupation threats against North and East Syria. Turkey utters threats in order to prevent the political solution of the Syrian crisis. There are major issues that need to be resolved to counter these dangers. Since the very first day, we have proposed a new democratic constitution that would end the Turkish invasion in Syria and achieve a democratic solution in Syria.”
