NEWS DESK - Kurds and their friends in Sydney protested the AKP-MHP regime decision to seized the HDP-run Diyarbakır, Van and Mardin municipalities.

 
Meeting in front of Channel 7 TV in Martin Placa, Kurdish activists read a press release in English denouncing the seizure of municipalities and then marched to the NSW Parliament.
 
A rally was held in front of Parliament. Australian Green Party MP Jaime Parker addressed the crowd there.
 
The speeches underlined that the seizure of the HDP-run municipalities was an illegal action and reminded that in fact only a few days ago PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan had renewed his offer to work for a peace process.
