TEV-DEM: Iraq must avoid agreements with KDP, Turkey

TEV-DEM issued a written statement regarding the latest developments in Şengal, and the Iraqi government's efforts to undermine the will of the Yazidis in Şengal in agreement with the Democratic Party and the Turkish state.

The text of the statement read:

On August 3, 2014, ISIS/ Daesh attacked Şengal province, on which the Iraqi army forces, Peshmerga and Kurdistan Democratic Party left the Yazidi community face their inevitable fate, with mass murder, enslavement the Yazidi women, killing, mass exodus in implementing the decree 73rd against the Yazidi community, which was a humanitarian catastrophe at the beginning of the twenty-first century, whose fate is still unknown till day, with supporting of the Turkish State directly, and the negligence of the governments of Baghdad and Hewler, without expressing any position or issuing any statement of condemnation.

The statement noted that “the Yazidi community in Şengal defended its values, culture and historical heritage, and offered its best children to protect itself from this terrorism.

Were it not for the humanitarian and moral intervention of the People's Protection Units YPG by Rojava to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of our Yazidi community, the massacre of the century and more crimes against humanity would have occurred.

Denying the Yazidis means denying the culture of Mesopotamia ′

The statement also stated, “The Yazidi community in Şengal has resisted and defeated terrorism and established its Democratic Autonomous Administration thanks to the efforts of the fighters of the Şengal Resistance Units, the Women’s Resistance Units and Asayîşa Êzidxanê Forces, and they provided thousands of martyrs to protect themselves and Iraq.

Iraq will be more beautiful when the free will of the Yazidis is recognized, so how can a federal Iraq deny the Yazidi presence to this extent, and not accept their belonging to the Iraqi identity, and work to close the crossings and outlets with the cities overlooking Şengal for more than three months.

This measure is a provocative measure and paves the way for sowing sectarian strife, which may start in other regions, as is the case in Baghdad. "

Iraq does not need to be drawn into the Erbil and Ankara agreements ′

The statement added: “Iraq must avoid the agreements with Erbil and Ankara against the values ​​of the Yazidi community in Şengal, and this matter does not serve Iraq and its people, but the greatest beneficiaries are those who left Şengal and its people without protection from ISIS/ Daesh terrorism first, then the Turkish occupation state second, Which uses all methods and evasion to completely empty Şengal of the Yazidis and to settle the extremist Islamists in Şengal, and to launch many air strikes whenever it wants to undermine the will of the Yazidi community in Şengal, which has caused so far the martyrdom of dozens, but hundreds of civilians, and the destruction of their property and damage to them and in front of the eyes of the world. "

We must mobilize for Şengal

In its statement, the TEV-DEM appealed: “Our Kurdish people in general, the Yazidis in particular, and all civil society organizations everywhere, mobilize their potentials, to be holders of positions befitting the will of the Yazidi community in Şengal.

Today, they are facing a new decree organized by those who participated in the ISIS organization in committing the massacres against the people of Sengal, who are trapped today by a handful of Baathist chauvinists to take their will and commit more massacres, and this solution does not serve anyone.

Any wrong decision will contribute to the revival of ISIS/ Daesh in Iraq ′

The statement also called on the Iraqi government to "be aware of the interest of the Iraqi people in all its sects to serve Iraq and not to serve the Democratic Party, the Turkish occupation and the mercenaries of the terrorist organization ISIS, and any wrong decision will contribute to the revival of ISIS in all of Iraq."
