Kurdish Protests in Limassol Demand Cypriot Presidency Intervention in Rojava

Kurdish protesters gathered in Limassol to condemn the attacks and massacres allegedly committed against the people of Rojava in Syria. The demonstrators are calling on the Cypriot Presidency, which currently holds the Presidency of the Council of the EU, to take initiatives to end hostilities and recognize the resistance of the Kurdish people. They emphasize that the democratic system built in Rojava is threatened by jihadist groups supported by Turkey, and that attacks against civilians constitute war crimes. They also condemn the abduction of two female fighters from the Women's Defense Units (YPJ) in the Deir ez-Zor region. The protesters urge democratic forces and international organizations to support the Kurdish people and condemn the attacks.
