Northern and Eastern Syrian youth call for uprising

Thousands of young Northern and Eastern Syrians have come together in Girê Spî to condemn the invading Turkish state’s attacks. The youth said they are prepared to take their place in the ranks of the resistance against all invasion attacks.

Thousands of young Northern and Eastern Syrians have come together in the Girê Spî Canton’s Elem Crossing to hold a protest march against the invading Turkish state attacks against Northern Syrian territories.

The young Syrians carried banners that read, “People of Northern Syria condemn the invading Turkish state attacks against Northern Syrian territory,” and “Rise up against Turkish state attacks”. Chants condemning the Turkish state’s invasion attacks continued throughout the march.

The march turned into a rally in the Municipality Crossroads and the young Syrians held a minute’s silence for the people who fell martyr in the Turkish state attacks. Following the minute’s silence, Assembly Member Seher Ehmed read a statement in the name of the Democratic Syrian Youth Assembly and said, “The invading Turkish state attacks aim to save ISIS gangs from disbanding.”

CALL TO RAISE THE STRUGGLE

“Whatever the price may be, we as the Syrian youth will defend the peoples of the region against attacks,” said Seher and continued: “We are calling on all Northern Syrian youth and international community to stand against the invading Turkish state’s attacks against Northern Syrian territories and support for ISIS gangs. All should rise up against the attacks and raise the struggle.”

Northern Syrian Martyrs’ Families Assembly Member Hesen Ibrahim spoke after Youth Assembly Member Seher Ehmed and said they will follow the path of the martyrs and fight against the Turkish state’s invasion attacks.

The rally concluded with the burning of Erdogan posters in the square.
