The co-chair of the Democratic Union Party Saleh Muslem said that "the representatives of the Kurds who participated in the Geneva Conference 2 do not represent the Kurdish people, the real representatives of Kurds are sadly not participating.”
Muslim said, "the real solution is a model of democratic self-management which has been announced in Aljazeera Province.”

Demonstrations in Europe to demand participation of Kurds in Geneva 2Kurdish demonstrations are continuing in several European countries asking the conference to demand the participation of Kurds in Geneva 2, as an independent delegation.

The protesters waved Kurdish flags and symbols and the emblems of the peoples protection units YPG, as well as the movement of a democratic society TEV-DEM and the Democratic Union Party PYD. "No to another Lausanne” was the common cry of the demonstrators.
In the same context, a number of leftist parliamentarians and dozens of intellectuals and Greek artists signed a petition calling for the European Union delegation to demand that an independent Kurdish delegation attend the conference.

Two days after the publication of the audio tape, a document was published, signed by the Turkish Intelligence, indicating the murder of the Sakina Cansiz, one of the co-founders of the PKK, and her friends Leila Shailemiz and Fidan Dogan.
