RESISTANCE IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE WITNESSES

‘A WORK OF COMMON SPIRIT’
The author of the book, Sefkan Kobanê, makes the following statements in the preface of the book about the legendary resistance that has resonated all over the world:
“It is the belief of humanity in freedom that creates the Kobanê epic. This epic is the work of a common spirit that breathes with Kobanê against cruelty, barbarism and inhumane methods wherever one lives. I tried to give a wide place to the testimonies about the lives of heroes fighting with the Apoist spirit.”
