Kurds in Canada organize a protest against Erdogan's political strategy 7/9/2015 12:48:00 Print KURDS IN CANADA ORGANIZE A PROTEST AGAINST ERDOGAN'S POLITICAL STRATEGY The Kurdish community in Canada is keeping a close eye on events in their homeland. Troubled by the way their brothers and sisters are being treated by the Turkish government, they organized a protest in Toronto, Canada to try and raise awareness among Canadians about the situation. Their aim is also to try to raise pressure on Turkey through the Canadian government. “As Kurds from Canada watching what’s going on in Turkey specifically, we are not happy: the Turkish government is not taking the path of peace, democracy and human rights,” said head of PUK organization in Canada, a Kurdish activist with the Toronto Kurdish Community Centre. “It’s persecuting racist polices against the Kurds in Turkey.” . Kurds in Canada are following events in the region especially closely since the collapse of a ceasefire between the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and the Turkish government late last month. Kurdish activists in Canada are hoping to build on that support. The next step is for Elis to take his message to the international community. He is doing that through upcoming meetings with Canadian politicians. PUKmedia by K.A Sorry ... this is an old article.
