Demonstrations for Öcalan and Efrîn to be held in many countries

KCDK-E organised demonstrations for the freedom of Öcalan and in support of Efrîn in many countries, which will be held from 8th to 10th July. KCDK-E called for attendance to the rallies and marches.

European Kurdish Democratic Societies Congress (KCDK-E) issued a statement about the planned demonstrations and marches for the freedom of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and in support of Efrîn which is under is threat of invasion by the Turkish state and its affiliated gangs.

The statement emphasizes that the Turkish state intends to take the Middle East towards chaos and it says in length the following:

"The combined fascism of AKP and MHP seeks to export their policies of genocide, denial and massacres to Shengal, Rojava and Efrîn in new dimensions. The resistance of the likes of Mehmet Tunç, Asya Yüksel, Arîn Mirkan and their comrades has defeated the occupation-policy of the 'TC' (Turkish state's abbreviation). The Turkish state is witnessing the biggest crisis it has ever had. The system is blown and paralyzed in regard of their internal and external policies. The pinched occupying Turkish state attempts to change the agenda to survive its crisis, and bellows fascist propaganda in a hope to succeed in its occupation plans. In this respect Efrîn is targeted by them, but all their plans of invasion and occupation cannot get any foothold.

“THE DUTY OF THE KURDISH PEOPLE AND PROGRESSIVE HUMANITY”

The paradigm of Confederal Democracy devised by Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan is the natural remedy to these policies of aggression and gets understood and implemented in all spheres as an official system with an ever-growing acceptance each passing day. It offers a constructive solution to humanity to build a free and equal life for all peoples and beliefs. The Rojava model poses here a vivid example of the paradigm's realization, which proved to be the only hope and solution for whole humanity. That is why the defense of the Rojava Revolution and all the gained values is more than just the protection for life, but rather a duty for the Kurdish people and a duty of honor and patriotism for humanity as well.

“THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO PREVENT THEIR TOTAL DEFEAT”

Our people is about to accomplish with the liberation of ISIS stronghold Raqqa, another step in serving a historical deathblow to the rule of the AKP as they did with the victory over ISIS in Kobanê before.

It is indisputable that our freedom struggle will be the absolute leading force for the revolution in the Middle East which will topple the central source of Erdogan-ISIS mentality down to the ground. This scares Erdoğan and backward forces in the region out of their wits, but nothing can prevent their total defeat anymore.

Their foreign policy which was built on lies only, has deflated so much that the world came to see their true face behind their fallen masks, and even in Merkel's Germany, the greatest dearestof Erdoğan's backwardness, a point has been reached where he cannot even get a place anymore to hold a single meeting. Because their policies were unveiled through the righteous and resolute struggle of our people, it had the Council of Europe annul their membership.

To stand up in support of our leader Abdullah Öcalan and Efrîn in response to all these developments and the attacks of enraged backwardness, will be a response and slap to Erdoğan's dictatorship. Let's enhance the struggle to raise our actions with the spirit of Kobanê for the freedom of Leader Apo against the plans of invasion of the occupying Turkish state.

“LET'S JOIN THE ACTIONS WITH THE SPIRIT OF KOBANÊ”

We as the European Kurdish Democratic Societies Congress (KCDK-E) call upon our people and friends to attend the marches and rallies on 8th, 9th and 10th July with the spirit of Kobanê, which will be held in Germany, Canada, Japan, France, Austria, Swiss, England, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Greece."
