Hawler Organization of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria commemorates the March 12 uprising

ARK News... The Hawler Organization of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria commemorated the March 12 uprising, the Kurdish Martyr's Day, and the anniversary of the establishment of the Roj Peshmerga forces in Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan.

The commemoration ceremony took place in the organizing office of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, by standing a minute of silence in honor of the martyrs of the March 12 uprising in Syrian Kurdistan, and raising pictures of the martyrs and the Kurdistan flag.

In a special statement to ARK, Dr. Ahmed Malak, a member of the Central Committee of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, said: The uprising of March 12, 2004, is a historic day in the memory of the Kurdish people and the Kurdish movement in Syrian Kurdistan, as the Kurdish people broke the barrier of fear and declared their unification spontaneously and rose up against the Syrian regime.

He added that the Kurds of all categories of the people participated strongly in the uprising that began in Qamishlo and within a short period of time spread to all regions of Syrian Kurdistan from Dirk to Kobani and Afrin to Aleppo and the capital, Damascus, and the uprising shook the throne of the Syrian regime at the time.

Dr. Malak confirmed that the regime was in the process of implementing its malicious intentions against the Kurds, especially after the 2003 changes in Iraq, when it wanted to break the Kurdish will, but the Kurds refused, and the result was a massive Kurdish uprising.

He pointed out that the uprising was a quantum leap. After March 12, the Kurdish issue in Syria shifted from a local scale to international forums and became the issue of people living in their homeland.

At the end of his statement, he extended his condolences to the families of the martyrs in the uprising of March 12, 2004, and to all the martyrs of the Kurds and Kurdistan.
