BRUSSELS, Belgium,— Representatives of
the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) are
having talks prior to the session to take place at
the European Parliament to handle "the situation of
the people in Syria left without any defense" on
Thursday.
PYD Party Assembly member and European
representative Abdulselam Mustafa, accompanied by
BDP's (Turkey's Peace and Democracy Party) EU and EC
representatives, started talks with parliamentarians
on Tuesday to provide information regarding the
general situation and the position of Kurds in
Syrian Kurdistan region (Rojava) and Syria.
Abdulselam Mustafa and BDP's representative for the
European Council, Fayık Yağızay, primarily held
talks with a number of parliamentarians taking care
of the Syria file at the European Parliament and
concerned about the Kurdish people's demand for
freedom.
The Left Group of the European Parliament also
invited the PYD and BDP representatives to their
group meeting yesterday evening.
Holding the opening speech of the meeting, EP Left
group president Gaby Zimmer called attention to the
importance of learning about the ongoing war and the
position of the PYD in Rojava and Syria, and the
position of Kurds in relation with the urgent debate
agenda to be handled at the European Parliament
tomorrow.
Speaking after, PYD European Representative
Mustafa stressed that the Syrian Kurdistan territory
is not only facing armed attacks from military
forces and foreign-supported Salafi gangs hostile to
democracy, but also being subjected to an economic
embargo by the powers surrounding Syrian Kurdistan
including the Assad regime.
The PYD representative pointed out that the
democratic autonomous administration established in
cantons in Syrian Kurdistan, Rojava,www.Ekurd.net
adopted a policy that guarantees all rights for not
only Kurds but also all peoples of different
religious and ethnic groups including Christians,
Alevis, Arabs, Syriacs, Armenian and Circassians.
PYD representative also called for solidarity and
support from the EP left group.
