PKK: National Conference urgently needed

The PKK Executive Committee issued a statement in which it underlined the need for national unity.

The PKK Executive Committee said in the statement: "National unity and joint struggle are the keys for Kurds not to lose what they have achieved and to get new achievements. If every Kurdish gain is to be preserved, this will be possible with the level, power and national unity of the struggle carried out in all parts. In this respect, there is an urgent need for a National Conference to be held involving all Kurdish political forces, parties, organized democratic society, intellectuals and artists."

The statement added: "We hope that the calls and national spirit revealed at the meeting of 14 political party representatives in Kurdistan will provide a positive response and we promise to fulfill our responsibilities.

It is clear that it is the responsibility of all the political forces to bring about a National Conference that will provide unity to the nation. This is the longing of the Kurdish people. On this basis, we appreciate and welcome all political parties in Basur Kurdistan to be sensitive to the attack against Rojava."
