The 2023 Newroz will be held this year with the slogan "Her der Newroz her der Azadi" and "We will get free with the fire of Newroz".

The Democratic Society Congress (DTK), Tevgera Jinên Azad (TJA), Democratic Regions Party (DBP) and Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), announced the Newroz declaration in Amed on 10 March.

The declaration said that this year's Newroz events were dedicated to the victims of the two Maraş-centered earthquakes on 6 February.

Celebrations are planned to be held in 43 cities. However, Newroz fires will be lit in all provinces, districts, towns and villages.

The first Newroz fire will be lit in Şemdinli (Şemzînan), in the province of Hakkari (Colemêrg) on 15 March.

Events will be held on 16 March to mark the anniversary of the Halabja Massacre.
