In her turn, Kongra Star member Kli Mohammad said that the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries are committing crimes against the people of Afrin and do not distinguish between any of the components of the region, and not even the shrines of the martyrs were spared from the barbarism of the occupier.

She stressed, "We will follow the approach of Leader Abdullah Ocalan until victory is achieved."

As for citizen Lamia Abbas from the Arab component, she said: “We reject the killing of women in occupied Afrin, and we demand the liberation of women from inside the prisons of the Turkish occupation.”
