With a press conference in the House of the Federal Press Conference in Berlin our co-chair Dersim Da\u011fdeviren together with MP G\u00f6kay Akbulut, who is also a member of Kurd-Akad, and the chair of the EU Turkey Civic Commission (EUTCC) Prof. Dr. Kariane Westrheim, first signatory and member of the scientific advisory board of Kurd-Akad, presented the result of our signature campaign and again expressed the demands regarding an end of the war of Turkey in Northern Syria \/ Rojava.<\/p>\n

Scientists and academics against the war in Northern Syria \/ 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. The Middle East, which for decades has been marked by ethnic and denominational lines of conflict, needs no further destabilization.<\/p>\n
The democratic actors in the region urgently need our support. We, the scholars and academics, therefore call for the following<\/p>\n
– an immediate end to the military invasion
\n– the establishment of a no-fly zone over Northern Syria.
\n– an immediate halt to all arms deliveries to Turkey
\n– a termination of the EU-Turkey refugee agreement<\/p>\n
