NEWS CENTER- Kalkan said that the defeated AKP-MHP fascism in Zap, Avaşîn and Metina resulted in the exaggeration of domestic terrorism, aggression from Rojava to Shengal, and the efforts to slow down the collapse a little, as a result of exaggerating the foreign aggression to Greece. They attack left and right to extend its time. But none of this helps. The one who gets stuck in the mud wants to get out, but sinks deeper. Now, this is the situation that AKP-MHP fascism and colonialist genocidalism fell into during the war in Kurdistan. He desperately wants to attack left and right so as not to suffocate. Therefore, AKP-MHP fascism will collapse. This is certain. No power can save. We say this clearly. Various global powers; America, Europe, NATO support; Collaborative treason supports. It markets Turkey’s possibilities. He uses everything for war.
PKK Executive Committee Member Duran Kalkan answered questions on Medya Haber TV’s Special Program. Kalkan’s comments on the isolation and struggle against isolation, the latest situation in the war, the AKP-MHP fascist aggression and the reality of Zîlan on its 26th anniversary are as follows:
Protests shouting the physical freedom of Leader Apo were held
The reality that directly affects everything in Kurdistan is isolation and the struggle against isolation. There has been some activity in this regard lately. The act of seizure has left its 10th year behind. Again, there were more than 700 applications from lawyers, and finally the Gemlik marchers. How should we see the emerging struggle in this context?
First of all, I respectfully greet the historical Imrali resistance, Leader Apo. I wish great success to all those who struggle to break the Imrali torture and isolation system, to overthrow it and to liberate Leader Apo. The isolation continues as is the Imrali system. There is no change in that regard in this past period. AKP-MHP fascism continues its terror, invasion attacks, oppression and oppression by deepening it on the basis of the Imrali torture and isolation system. There is no change in this regard. There is no legal initiative in the forces that are allies and partners of the Imrali system. They maintain a system in which they do not enforce their own laws. This is how it is. There have been statements on this subject, concerns are expressed by various circles. Women, the field of democratic politics at work, family, The revolutionary-democratic public expresses their concerns about the health and safety of Leader Apo. They are calling for a fight against isolation. They exist, but there is no change. On the other hand, the struggle aimed at the physical freedom of Leader Apo against the Imrali torture and isolation system and the genocidal system continues in every field. It continues in four parts of Kurdistan, abroad, with very rich methods of action, from guerrilla to popular resistance to public protest. This has effectively continued in the last period as well. It was all important, meaningful. In other words, there is no change in the isolation practice, but there has been an important development in the struggle against the isolation aimed at the physical freedom of Leader Apo. This has happened in many dimensions. One of them was the June 12 Great Gemlik March. Global Day of Action was declared on 11 June. against isolation,
We will smash the walls of Imrali
They are extremely effective actions. The Gemlik Walk was effective. The AKP-MHP has once again clearly revealed the reality of the Imrali torture and isolation system, the fascist terror, oppression, torture and oppression in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan. The Imrali system is no longer limited to Imrali; It directly affects life in Turkey and Kurdistan. It actually affects the region and the world. It has reached that level. Once again, he appeared with these actions. Women and youth led the way. On behalf of our party, I greet everyone, young people, women, our people and friends who participated in this action, and express my best wishes for success. They showed an important attitude. They put out the message. Their anger was clear. Their aims, demands and messages were also clear. In other words, they do not want to live with the Imrali torture and isolation system, we will break the Imrali walls, they say. They say that we will never be left behind in the struggle until the physical freedom of Leader Apo is achieved. This struggle is getting deeper, spreading, there is more mass participation. Attitudes are clear on this, messages are clear. Resistance to pressure, too. Indeed, it created an important agenda in Bakure Kurdistan and Turkey. It has once again clearly demonstrated the attitude of the Kurdish people and the revolutionary democratic forces to the fascist genocidal forces. It was important, it was meaningful. once again clearly showed the fascist genocidal forces. It was important, it was meaningful. once again clearly showed the fascist genocidal forces. It was important, it was meaningful.
It is important to unmask fascism, to make its reality visible to everyone and to expose it.
There are other initiatives and actions related to this; quite important. The legal battle continues. It could have happened before, it could have been much more effective, but it was good to happen anyway. 775 lawyers requested to go to Imrali for a meeting this week. I guess they keep insisting. They should continue. In fact, there should not be a demand for a week. At this point, they can make any attempt, they used their most democratic legal rights. They revealed what the practices in Imrali are and what the AKP-MHP fascism is doing. It is important to unmask fascism, to make its reality visible to everyone and to expose it. It should not be said that simple or small. In this period, big and small, everything needs to be done. The struggle against fascism is all-out struggle, because fascism is attacking altogether. In that case, the resistance against fascism must also be total.
The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe held meetings, the decision has been awaited for a long time. The decision of the European Court of Human Rights is not implemented. The Committee of Ministers has not continued this practice for 8 years. Lawyers have also taken action on this.
The Imrali torture and isolation system is in its 24th year. How far will Leader Apo’s hostage position be? What will this be? Nobody should try to explain this with Turkish laws. TC did not take Leader Apo to Imrali. AKP-MHP did not take it. Leader Apo clearly said, ‘Their role and duty is the guards’. Their mission is to guard. We know very well who took it. In that case, those who staged the October 9, 1998 and February 15, 1999 conspiracies are responsible for this work. Therefore, they are the main responsible for this hostage situation in its 24th year. They can’t say it’s none of our business. Then what is their legal system, how much do they fulfill its requirements or not? This is also very important. There is also an initiative in this direction. Of course it should go on. It’s a good fight too.
Leader Apo’s thoughts are a beacon of hope for everyone
The general public struggle against the Imrali torture and isolation system continues. Unions, intellectuals. From England to Italy to Africa, workers and laborers, women and youth, revolutionary democratic forces, scientists and intellectuals have attitudes and statements. Here are Leader Apo’s clear statements about ensuring his physical freedom. Everyone wants to hear Leader Apo’s voice. He wants to know your thoughts. He wants to argue with Leader Apo. Leader Apo made the evaluations that produce the most comprehensive and in-depth solutions today. Leader Apo revealed the synthesis of thought. In other words, the ideas he put forward with his defenses and the historical society are illuminating the reality together with the present and predicting the future. Everyone reads and sees this. He realizes the importance of this. He wants to understand more, to learn more. Leader Apo’s thoughts are a beacon of hope for everyone, a way of salvation, he opens his horizons. It gives awareness about what to do and gives willpower. Therefore, they want to see more, hear more and discuss. They read, they examine their books; There are issues they want to discuss, ask, hear and learn. They have the right to it. This cannot be prevented. What does preventing this have to do with the ‘fight against terrorism’? They have been called “terrorist organization”, “fight against terrorism” like a temcit pilaf. These are a story. It shows how empty today’s system has become. Your word, your life is empty. They supposedly express their thoughts with the cheapest, shortest, most repetitive and meaningless things, organize life as if they are, and struggle with it. They have no validity. In this respect, the spread of Leader Apo’s thoughts, On this basis, it is important to want your voice to be heard. The most natural right. On this basis, struggles develop and spread. These are all meaningful.
Salute the freedom watch activists in Strasbourg
Finally, of course, there is the longest action of the Kurds. Freedom watch in Strasbourg is very important. It completed its 10th year and entered its 11th year. It has passed 520 weeks. Uninterrupted action. There is no such a long action in Kurdish history, it is this long in world history, I don’t know if anyone has surpassed it, but it is probably among the longest, if not the longest. The Kurdish people, our people in Europe, workers, laborers, women and youth really showed a historical stance. They are realizing a historical ownership on Leader Apo and they carried out this in a very organized and disciplined way with the freedom watch action. They are determined to continue the Imrali system until it is destroyed and Leader Apo’s physical freedom is achieved. They express this clearly. Very important. I congratulate and greet everyone who carried out such an action, and everyone who contributed to it. On behalf of our party, I express my best wishes for success. It is important, it is meaningful. The appropriation of the reality of leadership at this level is actually the appropriation of freedom. Embracing equality based on differences. It is to embrace democracy, humanity, solidarity, free life, and fraternity. It goes on with consciousness. We believe that it will continue to grow and become stronger.
We must continuously develop the struggle on the basis of achieving our party’s 50th anniversary move.
These actions have a huge impact. It shook the balance of AKP-MHP fascism and created surprise. He exposed it well, made it miserable. It attacks left and right. His aggression is the result of this struggle. In a complete panic. Of course, the psychological warfare center spreads many things. That’s what’s going on, that’s what’s happening, that’s what’s going on, that’s what’s going on. These are on purpose. As a result of the fear of the strength of the struggle, it is actually done to weaken a great struggle. They do it to create expectations in people, to soften and loosen this sharp, combative stance, and to reduce their participation in struggles. Our people should know better. These are all within the scope of psychological warfare. It should never be trusted. On the contrary, it should be said; Our struggle compels them to say. This means that the fascist, colonialist, genocidal mentality and politics, so effective on it. In that case, it is necessary to enlarge, deepen and spread the struggle. If today’s level makes you say something within the scope of private war, psychological warfare, the bigger one also disperses fascism, loosens it, shreds it, blows it. So it brings destruction. As a result, the Imrali torture and isolation system crumbles. This seems true. Then, the result we will draw should be to sharpen, deepen and spread the struggle even more. Therefore, we must continuously develop the struggle on the basis of achieving our party’s 50th anniversary move. This seems true. Then, the result we will draw should be to sharpen, deepen and spread the struggle even more. Therefore, we must continuously develop the struggle on the basis of achieving our party’s 50th anniversary move. This seems true. Then, the result we will draw should be to sharpen, deepen and spread the struggle even more. Therefore, we must continuously develop the struggle on the basis of achieving our party’s 50th anniversary move.
The Turkish public should understand correctly and learn the necessary lessons.
The areas where isolation and the struggle against isolation have peaked are the Media Defense Areas. The People’s Defense Center published a 2-month balance sheet on what the guerrilla has done to fascism. How do you see the guerrilla’s performance in this war?
Our People’s Defense Central Headquarters Command gives balance sheets. Daily, weekly, monthly; that is, all that happened on the war fronts is explained. The balance sheet for the last two months was also shared. It is necessary to think and ponder over these balance sheets. It should be known how big a war is. When a missile is fired at Ukraine, the apocalypse breaks out, the heads of state of Europe went all the way to Kiev, but 774 chemical attacks and 2,000 plane attacks by the Turkish state in 60 days are not even that much in the press. 200 attacks drop every day. The reality of the war must be seen. We should all get this right. The public must understand. In particular, the Turkish public should understand it correctly and learn the necessary lessons. The dimension of this war needs to be seen.
Another dimension that needs to be seen is the war crimes of AKP-MHP fascism. It is discussed with us, it does not go beyond that. The use of chemical weapons, there are documents. There is no sound. Not even chemical weapons were found in Baghdad under Saddam Hussein, but a regime that said it had chemical weapons was destroyed. They said we knew beforehand that it was not after demolition. Now there is a regime that uses chemical weapons so much. There is no answer. Moreover, there is support for this regime all the way. War crimes are committed. For example, according to the expression of friends from Tepe Sor; most likely tactical nuclear weapons attack. A former retired general on a Turkish TV channel once said, “We have been using tactical nuclear weapons since the 90’s. It is also used in the Ukrainian war. We have it, we use it too.” They stopped the broadcast immediately, so they stopped it. Those who used it in the 90s now use tactical nuclear weapons in Zap, Avaşîn and Metina. He says it’s a more serious war crime than chemical weapons. Legal circles who know this business should investigate. That confession was important.
Guerrilla Locked up the enemy, rooting it out
Another dimension of the war is the resistance of the guerrilla. In two months, 744 actions and 985 invaders were punished. This is detected. The guerrilla is fighting against an army that uses chemical weapons, tactical nuclear weapons, the most modern warplanes, combat helicopters, reconnaissance aircraft, the most modern artillery, tanks, surface-to-surface/air-to-surface missiles. Heroically resisting. There is a guerrilla who resists with his faith, consciousness, will and love of freedom. He has locked the enemy, he is taking root.
It smashes helicopters, smashes corpses. Trying not to leave a criminal element
From the 25th, they had to spread the war. To defend Girê Rûbar and Çiyayê Reş. Cudi is attacking FM and Hakkari hills. Here is what we saw on 15-16 June. Here is the revolutionary revenge operation. 57 invading soldiers were punished. They shoots and dismembers their own corpses. Why are they doing this? Who is in them? It means they uses chemical weapons and commits crimes. They used tactical nuclear weapons, commited crimes. They uses so many techniques; it burns and destroys nature, everything, and displaces civilians. They are committing a crime. There are also criminals among the gangs he sent. There are probably ISIS members and al-Qaeda members. They shoot and dismember their corpses so that they do not fall into the hands of the guerrilla and expose them. They shoot and smashes his own falling helicopters. Now 3 helicopters crashed. In fact, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu said, ‘They will run away’. By saying that, they were taken away. Now the action in Cudi broke, destroyed, ruined all his things. They will run, but they cannot escape.
It is the peak of self-sacrifice, heroism, courage, faith and consciousness in guerrillas.
Indeed, there is the biggest and most meaningful resistance in history. To hold a hill, to establish a point, is not to take everything. The guerrilla can go anywhere; It can go underground or above ground. If the large number gives an image, it goes with the small number. Bouncer is a trained and mobile force. He can find a way and fight as he pleases. Already two months of war shows the dominance of the guerrilla. AKP-MHP fascism is locked up, blocked and stuck in a swamp. He has come to the point of escaping, he cannot escape, but he cannot go forward either. They attack left and right, looking for other ways out. The guerrilla made the invading genocidal TC and the AKP-MHP fascist dictatorship immobile.
The reality of Turkey and Kurdistan is this war now. So, I don’t know, there will be elections in Baghdad, Hewlêr, Ankara, what the election will be. Politics seems to be happening here. It is not so. Politics is the war in Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna. The struggle waged here is resistance. The outcome will determine everything. Developments confirm this. Everyone sees and understands this fact a little more. In May, there was also a struggle suitable for the month of martyrs. Now, June continues in accordance with the month of sacrifice. He raises his heroic streak to the top. It gives the strongest examples of historical folk heroism. It is the pinnacle of sacrifice, heroism, courage, faith and consciousness. This is the reality of the guerrilla.
On behalf of the PKK administration, I congratulate and greet the entire command and combat structure of HPG and YJA Star, which revealed their two-month war balance sheet, and wish them continued success. On behalf of our administration, I specially congratulate and salute the command and fighters who carried out the Revolutionary Revenge Operation in Girê Cûdî. I wish the continuation of your success.
Girê is just the beginning in Cûdî
It is difficult to enter the Cûdî, FM, Hakkari hills, and it cannot enter by land. In fact, they are airborne. Most of them maybe hang on stones, trees. Anyone who sees that geography would not throw himself there from the helicopter. Because they can’t see, maybe they blindfold the soldiers and throw them away at night. It is very difficult to get out. So the spread of war to the west of the Zap to protect a few hills to the east actually put him in a stalemate. They will be more clogged, they will take a blow. Girê Cûdî is just the beginning. The sequel will come much stronger. The guerrilla will develop the most creative and courageous actions in history. AKP-MHP will bury their fascism in these areas. They’re buried. So much so that they can’t even take their bodies, they can’t take care of them. Now they are so inhumane, they hit and tear them apart. They destroys his own soldier’s corpse. There’s a frenzied aggression.
They uses everything for war
You drew attention to the situation the AKP-MHP fascism has fallen into, but its aggression is increasing in parallel. There are attacks against Rojava and Shengal. Most recently, they murdered a 12-year-old son and his father in Shengal. How should I see this?
I remember with respect and gratitude. Democracy is our martyr of resistance.
The Zap’s attack from east to west was not an improvement but a confession of failure. Had they succeeded, they would not have needed to attack west of Zap. They are trying to spread as they hit there, supposedly looking for a cure. Of course, they were not satisfied with that, they came to HDP’s door. Those fascist police brutally attacked HDP deputies, women, and youth. All of this was the result of the blow they had in the Zap, the stalemate they had fallen into. Now, as it sinks west of the Zap, the aggression increases. Here, they attacked the marchers of Gemlik, without calling them parliamentarians or women. They do not recognize any measure or moral rule. Evil and blood are dripping from their mouths, starting with Erdoğan and Bahçeli. Fascist terror, repression is increasing. Here again, they increase arrests and punishments. Workers, laborers, women, youth, especially Kurds, They want to take the breath of the people of Turkey. So that their voices do not come out, they do not breathe. Here they arrested the last 16 press workers. There is no reason. The questions they ask are very interesting. They question their journalism.
They are exposed, their masks fall, they become more involved in crime. They attack so that the truth is not seen, their crimes are not known, their masks are not falling. Stop politics with pressure, arrest. Terrorize the press, shut it down and silence it. They were supposed to go to the election like this. They want to seize the government by oppression and persecution and to continue the rule they have seized.
We have seen and seen this internal situation on the outside as well. It is trying to expand this aggression in Shengal, inside the South, and also in Rojava. In fact, they could not get their speed and took them all the way to Greece. All these express the struggles of AKP-MHP fascism defeated in Zap, Avaşîn and Metina. They are trying to divert the agenda. Looking for a cure. They want to prevent the collapse a little bit in this way, to slow it down. He is trying to prolong his life. Time is running out, the time will come, the account will be held, the result will be asked. Once upon a time, the so-called generals who now waged the war asked someone to account in the Zap. When? From the end of February 2008. Who were the ones asking for account? It was with Tayyip Erdogan and Devlet Bahçeli. Who were they asking? From Yaşar Büyükanıt and İlker Başbuğ… Why were they asking for an account? Why were you defeated in Zap, why did you run away? Those who held accountable back then are now in the same situation. Zap is one such place. They will also be held accountable. They know this very well, they see it. They are attacking left and right to prevent this, at least to delay this accountability and to extend its time. They are diverting the agenda. But none of this is worth any money. The one who gets stuck in the mud wants to get out, but sinks deeper. Now, this is the situation in which the colonial genocidalism of AKP-MHP fascism fell into the war in Kurdistan. He desperately wants to attack left and right so as not to suffocate. Therefore, AKP-MHP fascism will collapse. This is certain. No power can save. We say this clearly. Yes, it is kept alive by artificial respiration. Various global powers; America, Europe, NATO support; Collaborative treason supports. It markets Turkey’s possibilities. He uses everything for war. It delays the collapse a little, prolongs its life a little, extends it, but it is impossible to get rid of.
We are in June, the month of sacrifice. While the 26th martyrdom anniversary of the great female revolutionary Zîlan (Zeynep Kınacı) is underway, what can be noted at this point?
We are living the 26th martyrdom anniversary of Comrade Zîlan. June 30, Sacrifice Day. Comrade Zîlan is one of the most important bodyguards in Kurdish history.
What is Zîlan resistance? What happened on June 30, 1996? What happened? Who was Zîlan, what was it, what did he want to do? What did he want, what did he shoot? What was he friendly to, and foe to what? Everyone is making it more conscious. The struggle waged by the New Zîlans reveals the truth better. In this respect, the important fact of Zîlan. It is a historic day for the Kurdish people, all women and the oppressed. It is necessary to see, understand and approach on this basis. Zîlan (Zeynep Kınacı), one of the greatest sacrifices of Kurdish history and humanity. Everyone is seeing this more and more. Women got to know better and embraced it. The peoples, the oppressed, know more and embrace it. Thus, its real meaning is brought to awareness, behaved, and assimilated.
There are great martyrs fighting on the Zîlan line. There is Sema Yüce, Comrade Gulan. They always fought selflessly. 26 June is the 3rd martyrdom anniversary of Comrade Helmet. He was also Bashur’s bodyguard. It was the consciousness, spirit and honor of the people of Bashur, its liberal democratic attitude, it was the symbol of national unity democracy. What the truth of Zîlan means to women, the whole Kurdish society, and all the oppressed, the truth of Helmet has similar meanings especially for the people of Southern Kurdistan, the Kurdish people and their struggle for freedom/democracy. He had a great fight.
The guerrilla is on the Zîlan line. It conducts resistance in a way befitting the month of sacrifice.
We gave martyrs in June, new martyrs are announced; Dr. Hüseyin, Salih Cizîrî, Şervan Erkendi… We commemorated the martyrs of May on the Haki Karer line, on the Deniz Gezmiş line, on the İbrahim Kaypakkaya line. We fought on the line of martyrs. With June, the measures of sacrifice, courage, self-sacrifice, spirit, emotion and consciousness become clearer. In the person of these heroic martyrs of ours, we need to deeply internalize and understand the line of the Zîlan sacrifice, educate and structure ourselves accordingly, and most importantly, fight for victory in the same line in order to achieve their goals and keep their memories alive. We have to fight. YJA Star fighter is fighting along this line in Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna. The guerrilla is on the Zîlan line. It conducts resistance in a way befitting the month of sacrifice.
On this basis, I commemorate our martyrs of June with respect, love and gratitude in the person of comrades Zîlan and Helmet. I reiterate our promise to achieve their goals and keep their memories alive. Again, our newly declared martyrs; In the person of Comrades Doctor Hüseyin, Salih, Cizîrî and Şervan Erkendi, I commemorate all our martyrs of the freedom struggle with respect and gratitude. Our martyrs create and unite us. It shows us the right way. The line of martyrs is indeed resisting in four parts of Kurdistan and abroad.
We have accomplished things that the average person cannot fathom, we have made possible the impossible, we have accomplished the things that are said to be impossible, and we have accomplished the things that are said to be unachievable. The PKK can be called a movement of miracles. We created all these with the consciousness of the Leader, equipped with his spirit and line, with the reality of embodied martyrs. We created it under the leadership of martyrs.
In this context, I congratulate the Day of Sacrifice of our people and all our comrades. I state that we will fight harder and win bigger in the line of Zîlan bouncer.
