MEP Evin Incir, leader of the delegation, said:
“The Kurdish people want peace, democracy and for their human rights to be respected. In the face of aggressive tactics by President Erdogan and the Turkish Government, and after much bloodshed in the region, the international community must stand in solidarity with the Kurdish people. We cannot allow the political and cultural repression they face to go unchallenged. Progressives from across Europe are with the Kurds in their struggle for peace, democracy and freedom from oppression.”
