“The flames of the Newroz Fire continue to roast fascist mobs everywhere. As is obvious, the people of Kurdistan are trying to be turned into fascist, collaborative yes-men. You will taste the scorching heat of fire everywhere if the barbarities on the Kurdish people are not stopped, if the Kurds are not liberated like other peoples of the world, if you do not recognise the status of the ancient country Kurdistan.
