Several friends have made a "boycott appeal" in the store Baskonia has in Vitoria-Gasteiz on the occasion of the start of Turkey's offensive against Rojava. Turkish Airlines is a company with high visibility in the capital, the national airline of Turkey, and the main sponsor of the Euroleague in recent years. "Turkish Technic is the maintenance, repair and review center of this company. And there is a direct relationship between this group of companies, the AKP and the war," they denounced in a statement. As a protest, several people have sat in the Baskonia store with Turkish AIRLINES posters, a contributor to the invasion of Rojava, and others have focused on the outside of the country.

Turkish Technic has since 2015 an agreement with the company Airbus Defence and Space to assist in the maintenance of the Airbus 400m military aircraft, sources from this department have explained. The group has called for the boycott to be extended to these and other Turkish companies in Europe, at the initiative of the Riseup 4 Rojava movement, "collaborating companies that clean up the image of the genocidal state." Beko, Pegasus Airlines, Vestel, Kiler and De Facto are some of the names mentioned in this edition.
