‘Turn your weapons to fascist states not to the young people’

 

Seywan Rüstem spoke in behalf of Goran Women’s Branch and she condemned the KDP asayish forces that attacked the young people marching to Hewler for Afrin. “Turn your weapons to fascist states trying to invade Kurdistan not to the young people marching for their people.
