'KURDISH VALUES ARE TARGETED'

 

 

Takor Serdeştî, a journalist in the region, evaluated Turkey's attacks on the Federated Kurdistan Region. Stating that mountains and nature have historical and cultural importance for the Kurdish people, Serdeştî said: “These attacks are not only physical. It is also an attack on the Kurdish people's identity and tradition of resistance. For the Kurdish people, the mountains are not only a living space, but also a symbol of identity and resistance. Throughout history, Kurds have retreated to their mountains and resisted against oppression and occupation. Today, Turkey, with the support of the KDP, occupies these mountains and targets the values of the Kurdish people. With these attacks, they want to place gangs in the mountains. Villages are bombed, forests are burned and people's livelihoods are destroyed. Today, Turkey, with the support of the KDP, has entered places it could not enter for years. A few years ago, Turkey could not even dream of entering these places. But the KDP led the way and built roads in the mountains, allowing Turkey to enter these places.” 

 

Serdeştî said the following: “The Kurdish people need to show the whole world that this is the land of Kurdistan. If this is not done, Turkey's Ottoman dreams will be realized. The people need to show their reaction and stop the attacks of Turkey and the KDP, which are breaking.”
