Representatives of political parties and civil society organizations in the region joined the fair which is held under the slogan “Humanity will be saved from despotism thanks to Leader Apo ideas and philosophy”.

Elif Hesen, member of the PYD Education Bureau, said: "With this book fair, we want to draw attention to the ideas of the contemporary philosopher Abdullah Öcalan. ”

PYD Member Elî Mistefa stated that the 19 July Rojava Revolution was actually the result of the putting in practice of Öcalan's ideas and philosophy.

The book fair was officially opened by families of martyrs and will last for two days.
