📢 "We will increase our work to guarantee that our children & elderly can celebrate holidays in a safe atmosphere."

⚡ One year ago, the 3 #YPJ fighters, Dilar Haleb, Kobanî & Ronahî Kobane were martyred as a
result of a Turkish drone strike

➡️ In 2022 #NATO member #Turkey killed 8 of our fighters in targeted assassinations, the majority of them played crucial roles in fighting #ISIS

🕯️Today, on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, the end of #Ramadan, the people of North & East #Syria pay tribute to our martyrs

➡️ The martyrs of #YPJ, #YPG & #SDF have a high value within society. Without their efforts & sacrifices, we couldn't have defeated #ISIS

#Rojava #Syria #MiddleEast

➡️ When this becomes a crime, the deep misogynistic roots of #Turkey's justice system is clear

➡️ The goal was to create an ethnically homogeneous state

➡️ As #YPJ, we are defending a multi-ethnic society, in which Armenians also are taking their place
