STATEMENT
On March 20, 2008, the day of Newroz, Assad's
Dictator Regime killed three and injured and
arrested many Syrian Kurds in Qamishli without any
warning, the police opened fire at the peacefully
celebrating crowd. Although there had been women and
children among them the shots were fired arbitrarily
in the Kurdish city Qamishli in
Syrian-occupied-Kurdistan (we received short film
shows the way of killing the Kurds). While the world
is paying attention to what is happening in Tibet,
the Syrian Regime is killing innocent civilians..
The Kurds have responded with protests in various
areas of Western Kurdistan, which has led to further
increase of security and moving thousands of
military forces to Aleppo, Qamishli, Hasakah, Kobani
and Efrin.
We at the Western Kurdistan Government condemn the
violence and the new massacre of Syrian regime on
the people in Western Kurdistan and demand the
immediate withdrawal of all Syrian forces from
Western Kurdistan. We demand a full investigating
from the UN, the EU and the USA.
We are wondering; why the world supports human
rights in Tibet when at the same time a fascist
regime as Syria has a free hand on killing Kurds!!
Human Rights are universal: What is good for Tibet
is also good for Kurdistan.
We expect from the United Sates, European Union, and
the rest of the free world to remove the Syrian
regime from power, the second Baath regime, to take
serious measures in democratizing the country so the
both main nationalities in Syria, Arabs and Kurds,
could enjoy freedom and equality with two federal
governments for the Arabs and for the Kurds.
At the same time we would like to encourage the
Kurdish people in Syria to do everything in their
capacity to obtain their natural right of self
determination and to ask for referendum as the
peoples of Kosovo and Montenegro.

** Kurds are the largest ethnic minority in Syria
making up 10% of the country's population i.e. about
two million.
Kurds in Syria often speak Kurdish in public,
unless all those present do not. Kurdish human
rights activists are mistreated and persecuted. No
political parties are allowed for any group, Kurdish
or otherwise.
Suppression of ethnic identity of
Kurds in Syria include: various bans on the use of
the Kurdish language; refusal to register children
with Kurdish names; replacement of Kurdish place
names with new names in Arabic; prohibition of
businesses that do not have Arabic names; not
permitting Kurdish private schools; and the
prohibition of books and other materials written in
Kurdish.
