Kurdish political parties and organizations representing a large part of the Kurds living in Turkey have announced the declaration of the Newroz festival for 2024 and started the celebrations. The declaration called for the release of Abdullah Öcalan, the leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, a Kurdish armed organization imprisoned in his house for 25 years, and for the Kurdish problem in Turkey to be resolved through negotiations. The slogan of the Newroz celebrations this year has been determined as "It is Time for Freedom and Success: Stand Up". Celebrations will be held in 57 centers on different days between March 15 and 26, and the final celebration will be held on Dec. 21 with a rally attended by hundreds of thousands of people in the largest Kurdish city of Diyarbakir.
