The Janders massacre committed by the mercenaries of the Turkish occupation state against 4 Kurdish citizens on March 20, on the eve of the Newroz holiday in occupied Janders; Under the pretext of igniting the flame of Newroz, the people of North and East Syria resented them, and in their turn demanded that the perpetrators of the massacre be held accountable and that the Turkish occupation of Syrian lands be ended.

The spokeswoman for the Zenobia Women's Gathering office, Khoud al-Issa, condemned "this massacre" and extended condolences to the families of the martyrs of the massacre and the victims of the devastating earthquake.

She added that the Janders massacre, which was committed by the mercenaries of the Turkish occupation, contradicts the meaning of Newroz, which is the feast of peace, love and brotherhood.

Khoud stated that the massacre was committed in conjunction with the catastrophe of the earthquake that struck Bakur Kurdistan (north) and Turkey, and affected areas in Syria on February 6, and asked, "Why do these crimes occur against our people, especially the Kurdish component? We have seen how our Kurdish people were dealt with after the earthquake."

Stressing, "All components in Syria live as brothers."

Khoud saw that discrimination and segregation is carried out by the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries, "who serve the Turkish agendas, with the aim of emptying the region of its people and eliminating the Kurds in it."

At the end of her speech, Khoud Al-Issa called on human rights and human rights organizations to condemn this massacre and hold its perpetrators accountable, and to "get the punishment they committed."

For her part, a member of the office of the Zenobia Women's Gathering, Nisreen al-Hassan, condemned "this crime against our Kurdish people, who are subjected to the most extreme forms of violence" by the mercenaries of the Turkish occupation.

She pointed out that the Janders massacre; It is a continuation of the demographic change processes that the Turkish occupation state and its mercenaries are following in the areas it occupies.
