Demonstration to support Kurds to be held at Ledra Palace

A demonstration in support of the Kurdish people will be held at Ledra Palace checkpoint on Tuesday at 7pm, the Kurdish cultural centre ‘Theofilos’ said in an announcement on Monday.

The Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the Kurdish Cultural Centre will take part in the demonstration being held to protest Turkey’s invasion of northern Syria.

“Turkey is invading Syria’s territory, which was freed by the Syrian Democratic Forces,” the cultural centre said in their announcement.

They added there were harsh crimes enacted against unarmed people, which the Syrian Democratic Forces reacted to, in order to protect Syria’s sovereignty.

“However, Turkey is continuing its attack,” the centre said.

It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
