STRASBOURG

Kurds and their friends gathered in Strasbourg to celebrate Newroz. The celebration started with a minute's silence for the martyrs of the Kurdistan revolution. After the reading of the KCK's Newroz message, politician Faysal Sarıyıldız made a speech. Sarıyıldız said that Newroz means resistance for the Kurds from Kawa to the struggle of today’s Kurdish Freedom Movement, and added that the fire lit by contemporary Kawa and Mazlum will lead to victory.

Talking about the total isolation imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, Sarıyıldız said that it is not possible to solve the Kurdish question without the end of the isolation, and that the address for the solution is actually Abdullah Öcalan.

Pointing out that the Turkish state did not provide the necessary assistance to the earthquake victims after the Maraş-centered earthquake, Faysal Sarıyıldız stated that the Turkish state turned the earthquake into an opportunity to depopulate Kurdistan.

After the speeches, Serhado, Beser Şahin and Sidar Amed took the stage.
