Ahmet Karamus, co-chair of the Kurdistan National Congress (KNK), spoke at a community gathering held at the Kurdish Community Center in Toronto, Canada.
The event began with a minute of silence for the martyrs of Kurdistan, followed by the “Ey Reqib” anthem. The co-chairs of the Kurdish Community Center saluted the August 15 Initiative. In the speeches, it was emphasized that the spirit of August 15 is felt wherever Kurds live, that the steps taken that day created today’s achievements, and that these values must be preserved.
Ahmet Karamus commemorated Commander Nûreddîn Sofî, Koçero Urfa, and fighter Bahtiyar Gabar, whose deaths have been announced recently. He said: “They are the honor of the people of Kurdistan. Their struggle must be upheld, and everyone must do their part for the liberation of Kurdistan.”
Karamus also spoke about Abdullah Öcalan’s “Call for Peace and Democratic Society”, shared with the public on February 27, saying: “We know that a process is ongoing between the Kurds and Turkey. This process may also affect other parts of Kurdistan. It will not remain limited to North Kurdistan but will pave the way for other parts to gain status. The KNK can play an important role in creating these conditions.”
