According to Roj News Agency, worshippers at a mosque in Kirkuk evacuated the mosque after the imam refused to recite a prayer for Rojava in Kurdistan.

The worshippers stated that they had asked the imam to lead a prayer for the Kurdish people in Rojava, but he refused, prompting them to prevent him from praying and to evacuate the mosque.

This incident reflects the growing resentment over the attacks being launched by the mercenaries of the Interim Government and the Turkish state against the Kurdish people.
