Stop the Massacre of Kurdish Civilians in Syria
Appeal to the International Community to protect multi-ethnic communities in Syria:
We, the Kurdish political parties, organisations and community members in exile call upon the international community to protect the civilians of Northern Syria – Kurds, Arabs and other ethnicities and religious groups such as Assyrians, Armenians, Christians – against the brutal ethnic cleansing taking place, targeting the peaceful co- existince of ethnicities in the Kurdish regions in Syria.
Since 17 July 2013, Al-Qaida affiliated armed groups such as Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, have launched brutal attacks on Kurdish areas and it neighbourhoods in Tel-Abyed, Serekaniye, Tel- Aran, Tel-Hasel, killing, kidnapping and shelling with heavy weaponry the Kurdish neighbourhoods and calling publically to kill, kidnap and loot Kurds and force them to leave their homes and properties. Hundreds of Kurdish civilians have been kidnapped, tortured and their houses have been looted and burned to the ground. These on-going brutal massacres are scattering targeting all Kurdish civilians in Qamishli, Kobani and Afrin areas.
Since 29 July 2013 two Kurdish towns Tel-Aran and Tel- Hasel and the villages of Aleppo, have been under brutal attacks. Hundreds of innocent Kurdish children, women and elderly people have been murdered and beheaded, Kurdish homes have been cruelly looted and destroyed and hundreds of civilians have been kept hostage, their fate is still unknown, thousands of vulnerable civilians have forcibly fled in horror. The towns of Tel-Aran and Tel-Hasel are now under siege and isolated. There are confirmed reports that in both towns civilians have been subjected to ethnic cleansing and massacres by terrorist armed groups.
These terrorist attacks on civilians, targeted for their ethnic identity is an act of ethnic cleansing of ethnic communities who have been co-existing peacefully together. these actions are aimed at destabilizing the Kurdish regions that have been relatively peaceful in an attempt to evict peoples from their homes and to forcibly impose the rules of islamic sharia.
These armed terrorist groups which are a major threat to the regional and global stability and peace, have been militarily facilitated by Turkey and economically backed by the Gulf States. The recent crossing of six military tanks and hundreds of jihadists from Turkey into Tel-Abeyd, Syria, shows the Turkish involvement in the on-going Syrian sectarian war which neither serves the interests of Syrians nor Turkey and its allies.
The EU and the the US should recognise the Kurdish democratic, secular struggle against the Jihadists Al-Qaida which is a major threat to both the US and the EU.
The Kurds and the democratic movement in Syria have successfully managed to administer themselves democratically and peacefully and they have actively sought to contribute to democratic, peaceful change inside Syria.
This successful model shows that Kurds are a major potential player for establishing stability and developing democracy in the region.
We consider a comprehensive political settlement to be an effective resolution to end the Syrian crisis and its brutal civil war. Therefore we call on the international community, the UN, EU and the USA to protect multi- ethnic communities in Syria and to condemn the ongoing inhuman massacres and ethnic cleansing of Kurdish people in Syria.
