Kongra Star: Those resisting will win, the Turkish state will be defeated

The Euphrates Canton Administration of North-East Syrian women’s movement Kongra Star made a press statement on the invasion attacks of the Turkish state and the resistance of women.

Kongra Star member Peyman Elûş read the press statement at Jina Azad (Free Women) Square in Kobanê city centre, saying the following:

“After 54 years, the ruling regime was overthrown. On 19 July, on the basis of freedom and democracy, a new model for a just life and protection of rights for all the peoples of North and East Syria emerged and the Women’s Revolution took place. With this revolution, the current century will be the century of women’s revolution.

Taking advantage of the collapse of the Baath system and the crisis in Syrian territory today, the occupying Turkish state, together with its gangs, launched new attacks and started attempts to expand its occupation areas.

The fact that Kobanê is the target of the invaders and gangs is because ISIS was slaughtered here. Kobanê has created a national spirit and today has become the honour of the Kurdish people. Kobanê will resist again in the spirit of Arins and Gelhats, and the Turkish state occupation and its supporters will be defeated.

We will work for the construction of a new Syria as a whole and for a new constitution that guarantees the rights of all components.

We invite all women’s institutions and organisations to take part in our democratic system and work for the inclusion of all Syrian women in the North and East Syrian project.”
