KON-MED calls on activists in Germany to attend marches for Sakine, Fidan and Leyla

KON-MED co-chairs issued a written statement on the occasion of the anniversary of the Paris Massacre.

The statement said: “The Paris Massacre was carried out by the fascist Turkish state and its international collaborators who turned a blind eye to these massacres targeting Kurdish people, especially Kurdish women.

It is clear that the reason for these vile massacres is to intimidate the Kurdish people and make them take a step back from their resistance. But on the contrary, the anger and resistance of Kurdish women and the Kurdish people against their enemies has grown.”

The statement continues: “The anger of the Kurdish people against the Paris massacre has remained as alive as the first day and has shown everywhere that it will be in an uninterrupted struggle until the murderers are brought to account. The number of women walking in the footsteps of Sara, Rojbin and Ronahi increased and rebellion grew. The Kurdish women’s resistance spread in waves from Kurdistan to the Middle East and throughout the world, leaving its mark on the century.”

Along with Sakine Cansız, Fidan Doğan and Leyla Şaylemez, KON-MED also commemorated Pakize Nayır, Sêvê Demir and Fatma Uyar, who were murdered while they were leaders of the self-government resistance.

Pointing out that “Erdogan was behind the massacre”, the statement also protested the role of the French state in covering up the massacre.
