On February 10, the Turkish occupation state launched a ground and air attack on the Gara region in southern Kurdistan, with the aim of occupying the area and releasing a group of soldiers and officers who had been previously captured, and the People’s Defense Forces (PDF) fighters foiled the attack, which lasted four continuous days.

To cover up the failed attack by the Turkish occupation army on the Gara region, which killed 13 prisoners, the Turkish authorities (the Justice and Development Party and the Nationalist Movement Party) launched a campaign of arrests against politicians within the HDP, and on February 15, only 716 people were arrested.

Secretary of the Kurdish Democratic Roj Party in Syria Kovan Kanu pointed out that the Ottoman state and its current successor, the "Turkish state", has been hostile to the Kurdish people for hundreds of years and to the present day, and said: "Three years ago and until now, it occupied several areas in northern and eastern Syria, Turkey is targeting peoples yearning for freedom. "

'The Turkish army is back disappointed'

Kovan Kano praised the resistance shown by the People’s Defense Forces in the face of the Turkish occupation, and said: “The Turkish state launched attacks against the PDF in the Qandil Mountains and Haftanin, the last of which was the Gara region, and used all advanced weapons, with the aim of eliminating the forces, and thus the elimination of the Kurdish people, but he has been disappointed, and faced with heroic resistance. "

Kanu emphasized that the resistance of the fighters of the People’s Defense Forces forced the Turkish occupation army to retreat.

Kanu asked, "The Turkish state launched an attack on the Garê region under the pretext of the existence of the PKK, which it accuses of" terrorism ", so are the HDP and the Kurdish parties in Norhtern Kurdistan also" terrorists "?

'Anyone who opposes Erdogan will be arrested.'

Kanu explained that the representatives of the political parties and the HDP are people who call for peace and democracy, and to live in freedom, and the Turkish state arrests them without sound reason. He said, “Erdogan arrests anyone who opposes his policies, and this is against the laws of the international community.”

'The Kurdish parties and the opposition must unify visions and ranks to curb violations'

The secretary of the Kurdish Democratic Roj Party in Syria stressed that the Kurdish political parties and opposition parties in Turkey and Norhtern Kurdistan must unify the ranks and political visions, to put an end to the violations and policies of the Turkish authorities against politicians and activists.

Kovan Kanu appealed to all Kurdish political parties in all parts of Kurdistan to urgently unify the Kurdish ranks, to confront the Turkish state's policies against the Kurdish people.
