The Kurdish Democratic Unity Party in Syria organized a celebration on Friday in Hishri village in Hasaka countryside, to commemorate the 128th anniversary of the Kurdish Press Day, with the attendance of local residents, displaced people from Ras al-Ayn (Serê Kaniyê), and representatives from various political parties.

The celebration began with holding a minute of silence in honor of the martyrs, followed by a speech delivered by Idris Eiso; the member of the party's Washokani branch. Eiso emphasized the vital role Kurdish journalists have played throughout history despite the challenges they have faced.

He noted that writing in Kurdish was once extremely difficult, placing a responsibility on the current generation to protect the language and support journalists who convey the voice of the Kurdish people to the world.

The celebration included artistic performances, with poet Ferhad Merdi and artists Walat Eteh, Azad Shakaki, Mohamed Majid, and Jihad presenting songs and poetry.

The event concluded with holding traditional Kurdish folk dances.
