The European Kurdish Women’s Movement (TJK-E) called for mass participation in the demonstration to be held in front of the European Council in Brussels in protest at the 'October 9 International Plot' that led Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan's leave from Syria in 1998.
TJK-E called on primarily the women and the youths, and all the Kurdish people living in Europe as well as people from democratic circles and women’s organisations to ensure mass participation in the human chain that will be formed around the building of the European Council in Brussels on October, 9.
Remarking that the recent war waged by Erdoğan, the AKP government and the Turkish state against the people of Kurdistan will be the final war of this history, TJK-E said no one believes any longer that such a state which has no respect to the dead and bombards cemeteries with warplanes can develop a democratic approach towards the people.
Recalling the massacre of youths and torture of dead bodies that leave no need to speak a word, TJK-E stated that the war conducted by international plotter forces against the peoples of Kurdistan has entered a new phase, adding; “It is clear that this process, which is an expression of the peoples' self-will and self-rule, is running on the basis of a popular war. The revolution realised in Rojava, the resistance in Kobanê and Shengal and the recent developments emerging in North Kurdistan demonstrate all together that the oppressed are getting more and more closer to freedom.”
The statement of the Women’s Movement stressed that the war imposed on Kurdistan is today being carried out as a genocide, yet the people are not helpless in the face of this war which is being conducted in the form of military and political operations and massacres, and enhancing the resistance and struggle just like what they have always done throughout the history and especially in the last 40 years. TJK-E said the history has already proved that no power can stand against such a determination for freedom.
TJK-E said this will be the century of primarily the women, the people and all the oppressed; a century of struggle for freedom in which all the social segments will determine their lives. The statement added that the international plotter forces are today facing a response by this freedom struggle and it is obvious that the struggle will undoubtedly be continued.
“On this basis, let’s manifest our determination for freedom, peace, equality, justice and free life with our own identities by ensuring a strong participation in the action in protest of the international plot which is the name of war, femicide, massacre, destruction, denial and assimilation”, the statement said.
European Kurdish Women’s Movement ended its statement by calling on the Kurdish people in Europe, primarily those living in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Germany, to join the demonstration to be held in Place Schumann on October 9 in order to raise their voices and show their attitude against Erdoğan's war and enmity against women and humanity.
