A memorial was held for the July 14 Great Death Fast Resistance in the Aram Tigran Center for Arts and Culture in Rimelan, Qamishlo. Citizens from Qamishlo’s Girke Lege, Derik, Til Kocer and Cilaxa districts and Martyrs Families Council members attended the memorial.

The event started with a minute’s silence, and afterwards Democratic Society Movement (TEV-DEM) Executive Council Member Aldar Xelil gave a speech. Xelil said the history of Kurdistan is full of resistances like July 14 and continued: “The July 14 resistance was an important link in the chain that is the Kurdish people’s resistances. This is seen clearly in the resistances that continue in four parts of Kurdistan.”

Xelil said the July 14 resistance has continued to present day and that the resistance sparked the flame for the Rojava Revolution.

The memorial ended with a video screening on the resistance.
