KCK stresses on protecting Rojava Revolution in Spirit of resistance, solidarity of Kobanê

 KCK  issued a written statement today, on the occasion of the first of November, the International Day of Kobanê, and the second of November, the International Day of Rojava, in which it congratulated the peoples of the world and drew attention to the Third World War between the forces of capitalist modernity.

KCK's statement read," After the liberation of Kobanê from ISIS, November 1 was declared ‘World Kobanê Day’ and later November 2 was declared ‘World Rojava Day’. Since then, both have been celebrated by the peoples of the world. Undoubtedly, the revolution in Rojava is the result of the common struggle and work of the peoples of the Middle East and the world. The resistance and victory in Kobanê was also the result of this common resistance and struggle of the peoples. Therefore, the revolution is strongly supported by the peoples of the Middle East and the world.

We would like to once again congratulate everyone on this very important revolution and resistance of our time and express our strong solidarity with the revolution in Rojava. We send our greetings to the patriotic and revolutionary people of Rojava and Kurdistan. On the occasion of this important day, we express our gratitude to all those who stand in solidarity with the Rojava revolution, who resist, continue the struggle and make great sacrifices. We would also like to respectfully and gratefully commemorate all the martyrs of the democratic revolution. We remember them and especially all those who were martyred in the resistance of Kobanê, and we reaffirm our commitment to the martyrs and our promise of success. The victory of the revolution in Rojava and the resistance in Kobanê is due to the resistance and sacrifices of thousands of international comrades like Arîn, Avesta, Gelhat, Ulaş and Lêgerîn. They and their comrades will always be remembered and kept alive as symbols of this revolution and resistance.

When Kobanê was attacked by ISIS, the peoples and revolutionaries of the Middle East and many parts of the world, especially the people of the four parts of Kurdistan, mobilized for the liberation of Kobanê and joined the Kobanê resistance. Thus, the resistance grew and IS was defeated and Kobanê was liberated. The liberation of Kobanê from ISIS also brought about the protection and survival of the revolution in Rojava. Because with the fall of Kobanê, the revolution was supposed to be strangled and brought down. But this was prevented by the common resistance of the peoples. Although ISIS was supported by all kinds of reactionary forces, especially the fascist AKP-MHP government, the defense of Kobanê was successful and the revolution in Rojava survived. It was saved from the occupation and showed clearly what the common resistance of the peoples is capable of. The resistance and the victory of Kobanê have shown everyone that there is no power above the solidarity and the common struggle of the peoples, and that no technical and material power is superior to the will of the peoples and the passion for free life that reveals this will. There is no doubt that this will and this passion will liberate the whole world from the domination of capitalist modernity. It is this will through which democratic modernity will be regained.

The real power behind ISIS was the AKP-MHP government. It was the AKP-MHP government that made ISIS attack the Kurds, Rojava, Êzidis [Yazidis] and Kobanê. ISIS follows the same mentality as the AKP-MHP government and acts according to its policies. Today, it is the AKP-MHP government that is managing ISIS and trying to revive it. It is well known that after the liberation of Kobanê, when it became clear that the revolution in Rojava could not be eliminated by ISIS, the AKP-MHP government directly intervened and started the occupation and annexation attacks against Rojava, Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî were occupied and annexed and the attacks on Rojava in general increased and continue until today.

With the new attacks that started on October 5, it has become clear that the real aim of the AKP-MHP government is genocide. In these attacks, dozens of production and residential facilities, schools and hospitals, places of worship, dams have been bombed and hundreds of people have been martyred and seriously injured. This is a clear genocide. Tayyip Erdoğan and Hakan Fidan have declared this openly and have done it in front of the eyes of the world. But the states and international institutions did not react to these open genocidal attacks. This has made it clear that the states and international institutions have economic and political relations with the genocidal AKP-MHP government and they do not raise their voice against the genocidal attacks on Rojava because of their relations of interest. A similar approach can be seen in the attacks on Gaza and the Palestinian question. The states and international organizations are not taking a sincere and fair approach, they are approaching the war in Gaza according to their interests. First of all, the AKP-MHP government and Tayyip Erdoğan are taking such an approach. They claim that they are against the attacks on Gaza, but they do not hesitate to do to Rojava and the Kurds what is being done to Gaza. This is a great shamelessness and hypocrisy. They are trying to do this in front of everyone’s eyes. But while this is happening, these developments have unmasked the AKP-MHP and Tayyip Erdoğan and made the truth better understood by everyone.
