Mahabad- Condemning the ongoing Turkish attacks on North and East Syria, the women of Rojhelat said that the aim of the Turkish attacks is to commit a genocide against the Kurdish people. “The Kurdish people have built a strong and beautiful life in North and East Syria. The capitalist systems aim to destroy this life,” said Rozhan Mohammadi, who lives in Mahabad.

 ‘Press outlets all around the world just watch the war crimes’

Recalling the historic resistance in North and East Syria against the brutality of ISIS, Rozhan Mohammadi said, “Today, press outlets all around the world just watch and cover the war crimes committed by Erdoğan in Rojava. While Erdoğan defends the resistance in Palestine, he launches airstrikes on hospitals and schools in Rojava. The whole world should know that the genocide against the Kurds have been committed and supported by capitalist systems for years.”

‘No borders can separate us’

Emphasizing that borders cannot separate women's resistance, Rozhan Mohammadi said, “As a Kurdish woman from Mahabad, I say that no borders can separate us because we are the women who universalize their struggle for freedom with the ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadi’ slogan. The resistance in Rojava became a role model for us in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan after the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini.”

‘If needed, we will take to the streets for the people of Rojava’

S.M., a woman living in Sardasht, did not want her name to be mentioned for security reasons. She told NuJINHA that they had also raised their voices in Rojhelat for the fighters of Kobanê when ISIS had attacked Kobanê.

“Our hearts beat for the fighters from Rojhelat to Rojava. Great gains were achieved in Rojava by paying heavy prices. Neither ISIS nor Erdoğan can destroy these gains. The people of Rojava learned how to struggle with determination from Kandil and Zagros. Dictator Erdoğan cannot realize his dream of ‘one flag and one language’ in Rojava. If needed, we will take to the streets again for the people of Rojava and chant Jin, Jiyan, Azadi.”
