Afrin-Shehba Canton's Education and Training Council organised an event on this occasion at Mîtan Hall in the town of Ehdas in Shehba region. The event was attended by members of the councils and committees in the canton.

Speaking at the event, Hacer Hisên, a member of the Council of Martyrs' Families, said: “We defended our language against the enemy's attacks for 46 years. We were forced to migrate from our homes and thousands of us fell as martyrs. With the spirit of youth, we protected the Kurdish language. The occupiers cannot trample on our Kurdish identity. Today, we celebrate the graduation of our students in spite of the difficult conditions in the camps.”
