On Anniversary of the Revolution in Rojava, Nine Cars Burn in Front of the Turkish Consulate in Stuttgart

STUTTGART – After the emergency call was dialed in Stuttgart at 2:20 a.m., it became clear that a car had been set on fire in front of the Turkish consulate on Tuesday night. After the petrol ran out of the burning car, the fire also spread to eight other parked vehicles. The facade of the Turkish consulate was damaged by the fire.

After a major fire brigade operation, it became clear that the damage to property was several tens of thousands of euros. So far, there is no trace of possible suspects. State security is investigating. So far, no one has known about the action.

ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE REVOLUTION 

It is worth noting that the fire happened on the day of the 10th anniversary of the Rojava revolution. The democratically self-governing areas of north-eastern Syria are currently being threatened by the occupying Turkish state with another invasion operation with the aim of destroying the democratic achievements in the region and changing the demographics, e.g. in the already occupied areas of Afrin, Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî.

HYPOCRITCAL ATTITUDE OF GERMAN POLITICIANS

Instead of complaining about this genocidal project of the fascist AKP-MHP government, politicians are now dismayed by the attack on the Turkish consulate and condemn the action, e.g. the Mayor of Stuttgart, Frank Nopper (CDU), who said: “We reject any form of violence – from anyone – in the strongest possible terms.” This sentence alone shows the hypocritical double standards that German politics displays towards the fascist regime and the Kurdish struggle for freedom.

While the Turkish occupying state uses chemical weapons, drones and artillery against the liberated areas of Kurdistan and targeted murders, as well as forest clearing, cutting off the water supply and massive repression of the press, politicians and activists, it shows its violent and murderous face every day in the Kurdish and Turkish regions and German politicians and the general public remain silent, there is anger from all sides when nine cars catch fire.
