The statement was read at the Executive Council Headquarter in Kobane city by Co-chair of Women's Body in the Euphrates region, Rozin Mohamed.

It stated, "In the name of the Autonomous Administration's women in the Euphrates region and all women in the world, we condemn and denounce the assassination of Deniz, the political woman, and we condemn any violence practiced against women in all countries of the world, calling on the authorities, governments and human rights organizations to protect rights, the right to life of every human being without discrimination of race, religion or nationality."

He added, "The Turkish government bans the use of the Kurdish language, dress, folklore, and even Kurdish names, in addition to banning food on Kurdish villages and cities, as there have been many cases of deportation of Kurdish civilians from their villages and burning them. It also continues violations against the Kurdish people in Turkey, especially women who are subjected to all forms of violence under Erdogan's leadership, and these acts have escalated in recent years and crimes against women increased."

The statement pointed out, "Today we stand before a crime targeting women's rights, and we are not amazed or shocked by such crimes. The Turkish state is used to killing and assassinating freedom, and its series of crimes continues. Deniz Poyraz was not the first and will not be the last, and Zahra, Hevrin, Saada, Hind, in addition to other freedom strugglers were assassinated before her.

The statement condemned this attack and said, "Deniz was killed by the fascist Turkish state inside the party's headquarter in the state of Izmir while she was on the job, which the fascist state repeat through its internationally banned terrorist arms, and the violence and persecution that women are subjected to in Turkey became obvious and clear."
