Since 23 April, Turkish armed forces have been conducting an operation against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party’s (PKK’s) ‘Medya Defense Zones’ in the Metina, Zap and Avashin regions of Iraqi Kurdistan.
People in North and East Syria organised a protest march against Turkey’s military operations from Qamishlo, which attracted about a thousand people, and the 100km march to Dêrik took three days.
They condemned Turkey’s incursion and stated that they stood by the Kurdish fighters who are resisting the operations in the Medya Defense Zones.
