	NEWS CENTER - Around 70 parties and organisations call for no fly-zone to be established in Rojava.

	Dozens of parties and organisations call for a no-fly zone to be established in Northern and Eastern Syria.

	 

	The call reads as follows:

	 

	To the international community and international institutions

	 

	Turkey marches into north-east Syria and Rojava Kurdistan in violation of international law

	and bombards civilians from the countryside and from the air. It is time to replace words

	of concern with action.

	 

	We demand an immediate no-fly zone via Rojava.

	Turkish President Erdogan’s policy, as well as that of Bashar Al Assad, has targeted ethnic

	cleansing of the Kurdish population both in the past and today.

	 

	We urge the international institutions to intervene. Numerous western states contribute

	significantly to this ethnic cleansing crime against humanity through their arms sales to

	Turkey.

	 

	We call on the international community to take a position on diplomatic sanctions against

	Turkey.

	 

	We strongly criticize the international community for their reluctance in this war. Every day costs human lives. A clear political stance against Erdogan is the least.

	 

	Turkey’s NATO membership must be frozen with immediate effect. In the next step, we call

	for the exclusion of Turkey from NATO.

	 

	The scale of the humanitarian catastrophe in this war is unimaginable. The only allies of

	the West who defended our values against IS terror are now released for launch. Rojava

	gives Syria stability, many religious minorities protection and an important democratic perspective.

	 

	The international community and international institutions must not let themselves be

	blackmailed by Erdogan with the refugee deal.

	This war is also Europe’s war. Those who do not act now tolerate terror in the Middle East

	and endanger security in Europe since IS will use the new situation to gain significant

	clout.
