This march, as an annual event since their assassination on January 9, 2013, is taking place two weeks after the October 23rd, tripartite assassination at the Kurdish Cultural Centre in Paris.

According to organisers, more than 25 thousand protesters from Europe joined the crowd, the AFP reports, Klankosova accompanying.tv.

They used to hold banners with photos of the victims of 2013 with slogans like “The Turkish government slaughtered more than three Kurds”, during the march from the Gare du Nord train station to the north of the Republika Sheshi (Place de la Republique), a site known for protests.

In 2013, Sakine Cansiz, one of the founders of the Kurdistan Labour Party (PKK), which has organised uprisings against Turkey, was killed in the executional approach to the head.

And two other women were killed the same way, Fidan Dogan, 28, and Leyla Saylemez, 24, in Paris' 10th district.

The PKK, which fights for autonomy of the Kurdish population, is considered a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US and the EU.

While in the similar attack last month, a former railway worker named William Mountains killed Kurds Abdurrahman Kizil, Mir Perwer and Emine Kara.

French prosecutors say the mountains had admitted they wanted to kill immigrants, but according to some Kurds who were declared for AFP, they suspect this terrorist act was orchestrated by the Turkish state.
