Raise Your Voice for Kurdish Rojava

The Cypriot Ministry of Foreign Affairs has faced criticism for its limited response to the situation in northeastern Syria and Kurdish Rojava. The call for a ceasefire is considered insufficient as it does not distinguish between the attacker (the Damascus regime and its gangs) and the defender (the Kurdish population). The author argues that Cyprus must take a more active stance, condemning the actions of the Damascus regime and supporting the Kurds, who have been betrayed by the major powers. He warns that the loss of Rojava could also have negative consequences for Cyprus, given the presence of occupying forces in the region. He calls on parties, organizations, and the media to speak out against the jihadists supported by Turkey.
