'Together we must defend the Rojava Revolution'

The Northern and Easter Syria Armenian Social Assembly and Martyr Nubar Ozanyan Battalion issued a statement on the anniversary of the Rojava Revolution and said: "Together, we must defend the Rojava Revolution and go further to protect our achievements."

In a written statement to mark the 9th anniversary of the Rojava Revolution, the North-East Syria Armenian Social Assembly and Martyr Nubar Ozanyan Battalion said: “The self-government that emerged in Northern and Eastern Syria after great struggles enabled the oppressed peoples, who were deprived of their cultural rights, languages, traditions and history, to regain their rights.”

The statement added: “This great change enabled women to have the same rights as men in every field of life in scientific and practical terms, even allowing women to take part in the field of self-defense. The Rojava Revolution was achieved and defended by fighting against ISIS mercenaries in Kobanê, Afrin and Jazira. In the fight against injustice, thousands of martyrs sacrificed themselves to win and protect their land, their culture, their history and all their rights. Together, we must defend the Rojava Revolution and go further to protect our achievements.”
