A seminar was held in the Makhmur refugee camp to commemorate the victims of the two massacres.

After a minute's silence, Şiyar Erkendî, a member of the Martyrs Families organization in the camp, made a speech. Şiyar Erkendi started her speech by condemning the Paris massacres and said, “The life of comrade Sakine was a struggle. She was targeted by the enemy because she resisted. Comrade Sakine never bowed to the enemy. Her courage encouraged all revolutionary women.”

The seminar ended after the people attending the seminar chanted slogans such as “Long live leader Apo”, “Martyrs are immortal” and “Jin, Jiyan, Azadi”.
