Turkish drone terror in Northern Syria and Kurdistan Region of Iraq continues

The global threat of Islamist terrorism is increasing. The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria is an important entity in the fight against this. Turkish drone terror is weakening the region and paving the way for the resurgence of ISIS. Immediate sanctions from the international community are needed here. 

International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances

Today marks the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances. We remember the thousands who have been forcibly disappeared in Turkey. We call for clarity about their whereabouts and for accountability of those responsible.

World Peace Day 

On World Peace Day, let’s keep doing all we can to encourage more peace, democracy and freedom in the world. 

In the context of Turkey, we will continue to work for a political solution to the Kurdish question and a democratisation of the country and thus the region.
