ON 14 AUGUST 2014
INTRODUCTION:
The brutality of the war in the Middle East, against the peoples in Syria and Iraq are being witnessed by the whole world. Attacks by the gang like forces, international powers gathered from all parts of the world, are now transformed into slaughters that are spreading the war almost all part of the Middle East. Especially religious and faith groups are playing their role accordingly.
Recent example of such slaughters is the Massacre in Sinjar. This massacre against Ezidi peoples in Sinjar is also a part of the war carried out. Thus, who takes part in this massacre and who supports and tolerates such attacks are guilty as the ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant) gangs are. The new documents coming into view day by day proves that the gangs of ISIL were put forward by the hegemonic powers that had also banded these gangs together. In according to such proofs, ISIL gangs has been supported by several powers such as the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Turkey and some of the local reactionary powers are also playing a role in this project.
At the midnight on 2 August 2014, ten thousand of Kurdish Ezidi people living in the area at the skirts of the Sinjar Mountain (or Şengal) in Iraq were slaughtered in a similar way that the Shia Arabs, Shia Turkmens, Christians and Armenians were slaughtered by the ISIL gangs which are the cat’s paw of the imperialist and reactionary powers. People recovered alive from the massacre were able to escape to the Mountain of Sinjar as leaving their houses as barefooted, by taking their kids and elders with them. They arrived at the border of Turkey after the days.
We condemn these massacre politics that deemed proper for all peoples of the world in the person of Ezidi peoples in the lands of Mesopotamia where the civilization grown. We would like to state that we do not accept such attacks and that we are against this war. We would like to say that we are going to stop this war and that we will stand with Ezidi people, hundred thousands of whom were enforcedly migrated while many of them were massacred and some of who arrived Turkey and some of who are now trying to cross the border of the Kurdistan Federal Region and Rojava. We will continue to be in solidarity with them.
What Gaza means in terms of the war in the Middle East, Rojava and Sinjar have the same meaning. We will be in a determinate struggle for peaceful, equal and emancipated togetherness of the peoples in the Middle East, by being with them.
