A released by the Confederation of Revolutionary Trade Unions of Turkey (DISK) in Diyarbakir says the union has 12,000 members who have pledged their willingness to assist in the reconstruction of Koban锚 following the offensive from ISIS which left much of the city in ruins.
The statement added that DISK members, who could help in rebuilding the local infrastructure, would not remain silent in the face of the Turkish state鈥檚 refusal to open an aid corridor to the city of Koban锚, in the predominantly Kurdish Rojava region.
Serdar Ekingen, a regional representative for DISK in Diyarbakir, made the statement at a press conference organised by the Rojava Association.
He said, 鈥淭he honor of humanity had won in Koban锚鈥, but that ISIS barbarism had left much of the area in ruins.
According to a piece appearing in the paper Evrensel, Ekingen added: 鈥淲e can work on whatever infrastructure projects are needed, or help in reconstruction in order to repair the local wounds. We will take an appropriate part in the reconstruction of Koban锚 carried by the winds of revolution which are blowing from Rojava.鈥
Ekingen added that the trade union currently had 12,000 volunteers working in the area of water, sewage, sanitation, construction and the environment who were willing to work for Koban锚, saying 鈥渨e declare that we will take part with our labor in the reconstruction work鈥 and demanded an aid corridor be opened so that those wanting to help could do so.
