Action plan and call against the war of Turkey in Rojava \/ Northern Syria<\/strong><\/p>\n Dear friends,<\/p>\n While we addressed the international public with a press release last week with regard to the invasion of Turkey in Rojava, this appeal is primarily addressed to academics and scientists.<\/p>\n The events around Rojava affect us all. With great esteem and solidarity we have always praised this prime example of a society characterized by pluralism, democracy, gender justice and ecology. This is precisely what is now being attacked.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We academics have a responsibility here. We must now make greater use of our professions and skills to stand up for Rojava.<\/p>\n – Sign our signature campaign „Scientists and academics against the war in Northern Syria\/Rojava“ (see text below): info@kurd-akad.com<\/p>\n – Write a short statement (max. 1500 characters; English, Kurdish or German) for\/about Rojava until 30.10.19. These will be published bundled. You can express your protest, make a political evaluation of the developments, make demands, explain the model of Rojava etc.<\/p>\n – Support the action week on 11-14 November „Scientists and academics against the war in Rojava“ by organising a seminar on the subject at your university \/ research institution.<\/p>\n – If you have written scientific articles related to the topic, please publish them again. We would be happy to receive a copy or a link.<\/p>\n – Write letters to local and national newspapers. Be the contact person for the media.<\/p>\n – Use your competence in the social media.<\/p>\n – Visit the members of the European and parliament in your constituency.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Signature campaign:<\/p>\n Scientists and academics against the war in Rojava<\/p>\n The Turkish army invaded Northern Syria \/ Rojava again. This military invasion violates international law and has generated a humanitarian catastrophe. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, hundreds of civilians have already lost their lives. In addition, there are signs of a resurgence of the IS. Hundreds of IS fighters have fled the prisons. Against the background of previous terrorist attacks, this also poses a threat to the West, especially to Europe.<\/p>\n The Middle East, which for decades has been marked by ethnic and denominational lines of conflict, needs no further destabilization. The democratic actors in the region urgently need our support.<\/p>\n We, the scholars and academics, therefore call for the following<\/p>\n – an immediate end to the military invasion<\/p>\n – the establishment of a no-fly zone over Northern Syria.<\/p>\n – an immediate halt to all arms deliveries to Turkey<\/p>\n – a termination of the EU-Turkey refugee agreement<\/p>\n Network of Kurdish Academics and Professionals Germany, Switzerland and United Kingdom<\/p>\n Prof. Dr. Caucher Birkar, Awardee of Fields Medal 2018, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom<\/p>\n Prof. Dr. Joost Jongerden, University of Wageningen, Netherlands<\/p>\n Prof. Dr. Dr. Ian Ilhan Kizilhan, Director of the Institute for Genocide and Peace Research, Germany<\/p>\n Prof. Dr. Michael Meyen, LMU Munich, Germany<\/p>\n Prof. Dr. Norman Paech, Hamburg, Germany<\/p>\n Dr. Bahman Rostami-Tabar, Cardiff University, UK<\/p>\n Prof. Dr. Kariane Westrheim, University of Bergen, Norway<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Action plan and call against the war of Turkey in Rojava \/ Northern Syria Dear friends, While we addressed the international public with a press release last week with regard<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":240,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[169],"class_list":{"0":"post-243","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"hentry","7":"category-allgemein","8":"tag-allgemein-de"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kurd-akad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kurd-akad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kurd-akad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kurd-akad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kurd-akad.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kurd-akad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kurd-akad.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kurd-akad.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kurd-akad.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kurd-akad.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
