KON-MED calls for participation in protests against Turkish chemical attacks

In a written statement on Thursday, KON-MED said, “The colonialist fascist Turkish state invades Kurdistan and uses chemical weapons against the Kurdish people. The Turkish attacks aim at depriving the Kurdish people of their status and destroy all their achievements. Turkey has been using all dirty methods to invade South Kurdistan since February and wants to get results through the cooperation of the KDP and support of international forces. Since the AKP-MHP fascism has been through a crisis, it is pursuing its occupation and massacre policies in the dirtiest way.”

GUERILLA RESISTANCE

“The Freedom Guerrilla, which is the only hope of the Kurdish people, continues to protect the entire people of Kurdistan in an epic resistance against these invasion and annihilation attacks. Having received major blows, the Turkish army attacks with chemical weapons and disregards human values. It carries out massacres by bombing civilian settlements. With its current ground and air attacks, the Turkish army is once again violating international laws and committing war crimes!

The use of bacteriological weapons as well as chemical gases in warfare is prohibited by the 1925 Geneva Protocol. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was established as an independent body to control compliance and enforcement of the Chemical Weapons Convention. However, despite the accusative findings against the Turkish army, the OPCW or other international actors remain silent.

‘WE DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION’

As the Kurdish community in Germany, we demand an independent investigation into the Turkish state’s use of chemical weapons in South Kurdistan. We urge the German Federal Government, the United Nations and the international community to stop turning a blind eye to these crimes against humanity for economic interests!

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION IN DEMONSTRATIONS’

On this basis, we call on all our people living in Germany and all our anti-war friends to enthusiastically participate in the mass demonstrations to be held on October 30.
