A-Infos (en) Armenia, Yerevan, ACAB: Jin, jiyan, azadî! The Kurdish community and the "Black Banner" group at the celebration of March 8 in Yerevan (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

On March 8 in Yerevan, the anarchist group "Black Banner" took part in the 
celebration of International Women's Day together with the Kurdish community, 
thus expressing solidarity with the Kurdish struggle. ---- Kurds have a clear 
feminist stance: women are represented both in the military and in politics. One 
of the important roles in the fight against the Islamic State in Syria was played 
by Kurdish units, where women fought on an equal basis with men.
As we were told by representatives of the "Black Banner", during the rally, they 
recalled the ideas of Abdullah Ocalan that it is time to liquidate the statist 
and patriarchal civilization that has existed for 5 thousand years, and to oppose 
capitalism with a new democratic system where women will be free. The 
demonstrators also shouted slogans in support of Ocalan, calling for his release 
from a Turkish prison on the island of Imrali.

"For us, anarchists from Armenia and other countries, both the struggle of women 
and the national liberation struggle of the Kurdish people are extremely 
important and dear, in which, as Abdullah Ocalan said to Apo, the role of women 
is incredibly great," writes Black Banner . - Now Kurdish women are fighting with 
weapons in their hands against Islamists and Turkish occupiers in Syria and Iraq, 
they are protesting against obscurantists and sadists from the IRGC in Iran after 
the murder of a Kurdish woman for the "wrong" hijab, they were able with the help 
of solidarity and self-organization, through the creation their councils and 
cooperatives, to build an alternative to the capitalist and patriarchal 
civilization in Rojava.

It is also important to remember that Armenian women are fighting side by side 
with the Kurds in the same Syria, and the Armenian liberation is impossible 
without the Kurds."
