A KDP spokesman makes a statement about the martyrdom of Garmiyan Ahmed

Chamchamal – (KDP.info) - A spokesman for the Kurdistan Democratic Party made the following statement about the martyrdom of the citizen Garmiyan Ahmed in the demonstrations in Chamchamal, on Friday February 25. 1. After the martyrdom of the citizen Garmiyan Ahmed in front of the Chamchamal district office, some irresponsible channels published allegations that he was martyred in front of the KDP’s 19th Branch office. We express our sorrow and send our condolences to the family of the martyr Garmiyan Ahmad. In order to report the facts and to prevent attempts to mislead the public, we would like to inform the people of Kurdistan that some trouble-makers among the demonstrators changed the route of the demonstration and attacked the 19th Branch office of the KDP. 2. We have clear evidences that the peshmerga and the guards of the 19th Branch dealt with the demonstrators in a responsible way, as instructed by the party’s leadership. While the Branch’s headquarters and the cars of the officials parked in the courtyard of the Branch came under attack by the demonstrators, the Branch Staff did not respond. The attackers walked towards Chamchamal’s district office. The people of Chamchamal and other political parties witnessed the shooting and killing of Garmiyan Ahmed near the district office. The KDP condemns all types of violence from any source and we offer our condolences to the family of the martyr. At the same time we ask the competent authorities to investigate the incident. We confirm that we have evidence to back what we say. 3. We hope that trouble-makers are not given the opportunity to change the designated course of demonstrations. We hope that they will be prevented from resorting to acts of violence which make the citizens of Kurdistan victims of their aggressive aims.
