D’Jonk Europäesch Sozialisten hunn haut eng Positioun zu der Wafferou an Nord-Ost Syrien bezunn.

Mir sti voll a ganz hannert dem Statement. D’EU muss Schëller u Schëller mat de Kurde stoen. An alles dofir maachen dat d’Tierkei hier illegal Invasioun ofseet.

Marc Angel Jean AsselbornWe wake up to the news that Turkey has agreed to a ceasefire in northern Syria. Kurdish forces have 120 hours to withdraw from the area Turkey is referring to as safe zone. This paints a misleading picture of the situation. The Turkish forces and their allies in Syria should be the ones to pack their things and move back across their border.

The Turkish military invasion in Northern Syria flies into the face of international law and endangers the lives of countless civilians. People that have been scarred for life by a war that has raged in their country since 2011. Turkey’s actions endanger the right of these people to a new life.

Particularly the region of Rojava, run by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) a coalition of groups that includes the Kurdish YPG has made improvements. Compared to other parts of the country, they have achieved progress in terms of democracy and equality between men and women. The surprise withdrawal of US troops and the absence of an international solution to protect the Kurds have left them exposed. Creating the impression that they are good enough to fight against ISIS on the ground but can be discarded once enough progress has been made on this front. This is unacceptable!

Erdogan not the Kurds has to remove his troops from the Kurdish areas in North Syria. The stability of the whole region and the definite victory over ISIS is at stake. The Turkish autocrat should stop using warfare to distract from the illiberal and authoritarian policies he pursues on Turkish soil. Only 3 days ago, four mayors of HDP were imprisoned. Increasing the number of political opponents in prison yet again. Among those jailed are also countless comrades from the CHP.

The European Union needs to act now! An immediate arms embargo should be enforced. The international community needs to establish safe areas and a no-fly zone Northern Syria. We want an end to this humanitarian crisis. The EU can no longer be silent about what is going on and allow Turkey to use the EU-Turkey Refugee Deal to blackmail it into submission.

Over 200.000 people are now on the move from former “safe” territories, these people need to be protected and offered shelter. Same goes for the ones currently residing in overcrowded camps such as Vucic or Moria. To protect the innocent and prevent ISIS from gaining strength, the EU needs to use all the leverage it has and get a dialogue started.

We call

– upon the European people to stand in solidarity with the Kurdish people and all other inhabitants of the Northern Syrian territories and condemn the illegal Turkish military invasion.

– demand a better right to be informed.

– Press for the release of all political prisoners.

– Our member organisations to

– Carry these demands into our respective countries and disseminate them … See MoreSee Less
