Newroz to be celebrated in 127 places
The program for 2012 Newroz celebrations has been announced. Newroz celebrations will be held in 127 different locations this year. The slogan for the events will be: ‘Enough is enough, either freedom or freedom.’
Celebrations organized by the Democratic Society Congress (DTK) and the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) will be different from those of the past years due to the political and military operations, Van earthquake, Roboski massacre and the isolation of Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan. Political messages of resistance will rather be emphasized.
“We have no option but to resist the AKP [Justice and Development Party] that does not hear our demands of negotiation but insists on the policies of elimination and intimidation,” said a press statement from the BDP Central Branch.
Demonstrations will be held in Istanbul and Diyarbakýr on March 18 and in 125 places on March 20 and 21.
