After the military operation launched by Turkey against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Metina, Avaşin and Zap (also known as Medya Defence Zones) in Iraqi Kurdistan on 23 April, protests were held in various regions throughout the world.
Citizens of the AANES (Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria) took to the streets to protest Turkey’s offensive and send their messages in support of Kurdish fighters in the Medya Defence Zones.
