AANES: Free will is what creates victory.

The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria issued a statement today, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the resistance and victory of Kobani and the defeat of ISIS mercenaries, and stressed the necessity of preserving the gains achieved after the resistance of Kobani until now.

The statement stated:

“Today marks ten years since the victory of the Kobani resistance, which led to the end of the most extremist projects in Syria, the region, and even the world. The resistance that emerged as a result of the cohesion of the components of our people demonstrated the truth of the popular will and its strength in combating projects of genocide and liquidation, as the victory in Kobani was a victory for humanity and Syria and the whole world were secured from danger and consequences of extremism.

The resistance of our people in Kobani, as well as the engagement with this resistance by all Kurdistanis and internationalists, has become and proven that free will is what creates victory. We remember this resistance and its martyred heroes, as well as the wounded, and we affirm that the legacy of this resistance is what is victorious today in combating all types of war waged by Turkey, its mercenaries and all those who want to undermine the will of this people.

While we, in the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, stress the necessity of preserving the gains achieved after the Kobani resistance until now, we call for the need to show responsibility by all Syrian national forces and the international community regarding the direct threat to these gains today. In NE Syria in general and at the Tishreen Dam in particular, the continuation of attacks brings with it a real “disaster” in terms of the return of ISIS, as well as its repercussions on the humanitarian aspects and other risks of creating chaos and war without an end.

On this occasion, we assure our free people and public opinion that the Kobani resistance will remain a solid foundation for consolidating and developing the resistance at all levels, as the spirit of this resistance is what grows and continues and achieves victories in the Tishreen Dam, and we will move with this spirit towards achieving the aspirations of our people for democracy and peace, and we will liberate our occupied territories and will expel the occupation, and we will thwart all hegemonic projects, also we will proceed with our patriotic Syrian brothers in building one strong unified Syria, a democratic Syria.”
