On 9 January 2013, in Paris, Sakine Cansız, one of the founders of the PKK, Fidan Doğan, the KNK representative in Paris, and Leyla Şaylemez, a member of the youth movement, were murdered by the Turkish intelligence service MIT. On the tenth anniversary of this massacre, another massacre was carried out on 23 December 2022, claiming the lives of Emine Kara (Evîn Goyî), member of the Executive Council of the KCK, Mîr Perwer (Mehmet Şirin Aydın) from the Kurdish cultural movement and long-time activist Abdurrahman Kızıl in front of the Ahmet Kaya Cultural Center in the French capital.

The Kurds and their companions will be taking to the streets in Paris on 23 December, tomorrow, and on 6 January 2024 to protest against the two massacres and the ongoing impunity and to reaffirm the demand for justice and transparency.

The Congress of Democratic Societies of Kurdistan in Europe (KCDK-E) released a statement calling for strong participation in the protest actions.

KCDK-E pointed out that the second massacre took place because no light was shed on the first one, and that both massacres were conspired jointly by the deep powers of Germany and France and the fascist Turkish state.

The KCDK-E statement on Friday said the following:

"If these assassination gangs, intelligence networks and intelligence units of the countries located in Europe had taken this danger into consideration, the triple murder in Paris on January 9, 2013 might not have happened. Sakine Cansız, Leyla Şaylemaz and Fidan Doğan would not have been subjected to this brutal massacre if the murder networks had been enlightened in advance.

If the perpetrators and executioners of the Paris massacre on January 9, 2013, had been exposed and brought to light, the second Paris massacre on December 23, 2023, would not have taken place. Both massacres were carried out by Turkish assassination forces with the knowledge of the deep powers of Germany and France.

Both Paris massacres took place under conditions that the French deep state was aware of. Kurds were sacrificed in exchange for political, economic and political interests. The fact that prosecutors, politicians and state officials are playing three monkeys clearly shows complicity. Paris and the Kurdish people have lived through two massacres in which files were buried under the fallacy of 'state secrets' and justice was not served. The second Paris massacre was a scandalous test in which Europe and the French state failed the test of democracy and justice.

Humanity, history and the Kurdish people will not forgive this dirty murder, those who instigated it, those who kept silent, those who watched and those who stood by. The conscience and justice of humanity will prevail, and the Kurdish people's struggle for freedom will eventually bring this treacherous massacre to a conclusion by bringing the main suspects to justice, as it should be.

On this occasion, as KCDK-E, we call on you to condemn the massacre by mobilizing for the big protest march to be held in Paris on 23 December and for the actions and events to be held in Europe, Australia and Canada under the leadership of TJK-E (Kurdish Women's Movement in Europe), and to maintain this resolute stance until justice is achieved."
