BEHDINAN – In the video broadcast by GuerillaTV, Karayılan addressed the guerrilla for the 15 August Resurrection Day. Karayılan stated that the army was blocked against the use of banned weapons by the Turkish state and all the support of the collaborating groups and international powers, “This is the defeat of the Turkish state. He has that much power. It renews and changes its strength every week. It’s constantly dying. The Turkish state has never lost so many consecutive losses in its history. Bashure has never suffered such losses in Kurdistan. The war has never lasted for 4 months in a row like this. This is a new situation. This is a new tactical method. Professional teams that can fight in a coordinated way, mobile and semi-mobile teams and teams based on tunnel warfare – because tunnel warfare also works with teams – and fighting with active defense is a new situation in the history of warfare. This,
Karayılan expressed the following in his speech: “First of all, greetings and respects to all of you. We celebrate the Resurrection Day of all friends. On behalf of all friends, we congratulate Leader Apo on the 38th Anniversary of our Resurrection Day and the 15th of August Initiative, and present our greetings, respect and devotion. We congratulate the Resurrection Day, the 38th Anniversary of August 15, to all the people of Kurdistan, the friends of the people of Kurdistan, the democrats, all the employees and you comrades. We wish success to everyone in the 39th year.
The 15 August Breakthrough was created with the effort and resistance of the martyrs. The martyrs of the revolution are the owners of the greatest labor. Alongside the efforts of Leader Apo, our heroic martyrs played a historical role. On the 38th anniversary, we commemorate all our martyrs of the revolution in the person of our immortal commander, Comrade Egîd (Mahsum Korkmaz), and bow respectfully before their memories. We repeat the promise we made to them, and we state that we will stick to it until the end. We will turn the aspirations and dreams of the martyrs into reality, raise the flags of struggle, make them immortal in this way, and keep their memories alive in the freedom of Leader Apo in Free Kurdistan. We will abide by this promise to the end.
AUGUST 15 REQUIRED GREAT COURAGE AND WORK
The August 15 Initiative was organized under very difficult conditions. Kurdish society was on the verge of extinction. After the Kurdish and Kurdistan serhildans were crushed, a comprehensive policy of assimilation and genocide was carried out. They wanted to destroy the Kurdish people on the basis of the Eastern Reform Plan. They wanted to commit genocide physically and culturally. At a time when this policy had come a long way, Leader Apo’s exit took place. Leader Apo’s exit was a very historic one. Leader Apo first created the idea. He developed the national and revolutionary idea. As it is known, the first group was formed on the basis of this idea, the party developed and the PKK was established. But the enemy intervened in this. On September 12, 1980, the fascist junta seized the government in Turkey. He developed a very comprehensive attack against both the left socialists of Turkey and the Kurdistan Freedom Movement. Again, he put the Orient Reform Plan into effect. He banned everything from Kurdish language to culture. Against this, the take-off in Amed Dungeon led by Comrade Mazlum Doğan, Ferhat Kurtay and his 3 friends, and 14 July Activists Hayri Durmuş, Kemal Pir, Akif Yılmaz and Ali Çiçek, formed a basis. They said ‘we will not surrender’ until the end. This has been a great force for the Leadership. Because under those conditions, it was not easy to return to the country and use weapons against Turkish colonialism. First of all, it required great courage and effort, a foundation was needed. Here, the dungeon resistances became a basis for Leader Apo’s work and this is how the August 15 Initiative led by Comrade Egîd developed. The take-off in the person of Ferhat Kurtay and his 3 friends, Comrades Hayri Durmuş, Kemal Pir, Akif Yılmaz and Ali Çiçek, again the 14th of July Activists, formed a basis. They said ‘we will not surrender’ until the end. This has been a great force for the Leadership. Because under those conditions, it was not easy to return to the country and use weapons against Turkish colonialism. First of all, it required great courage and effort, a foundation was needed.

IT WAS TOLD TO HAVE A LIFE OF 72 HOURS, WON THE VICTORY IN 9 YEARS
This breakthrough was an armed breakthrough, but it was essentially a very important breakthrough. It was ideological, it was social, it was national, it was a revolt against slavery. It was above all a revolt against itself, against slavery, against social slavery. He was against himself, against the slavery system, against the genocide system. So it has many meanings. Leader Apo has made comprehensive evaluations many times so far, and we talk about it on every occasion. We do not need to elaborate too much on its meaning here. But it was a move to protect humanity. In Kurdistan, humanity in the person of the Kurdish society and people was trampled on and oppressed. Against this, conscientious people, especially those gathered around Leader Apo and Leader Apo, and those whose conscience did not remove it, made a conscientious and humanitarian stand. They developed a legitimate defense for the existence of the nation, a self-defense. In short, we can define it like this. It wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t. Without it, society would perish.
It is very meaningful to make such a breakthrough at such a historical moment. But many did not believe it. The enemy already said, ‘He has 72 hours of life’. Many people and organizations other than us also opposed it. They were saying, ‘No one can be successful against the Turkish state, and this will happen in a very short time’. Our group was not very large back then. The number of the group that carried out the 15 August Breakthrough was very small. The gentlemen in those old serhildans did not have thousands, tens of thousands of soldiers like the mirs, they did not have many weapons. The group was small. But their hearts were great, their faith was great, and their purpose was great. Leader Apo created his idea, his ideology was the source of faith. At that time, we relied only on our ideology. Our organization was marching with loyalty to ideology, faith, comradeship, loyalty to comrades, to the comrades in the dungeon, to Leader Apo. The cadres gathered around Leader Apo on this basis carried out this. On the other hand, liquidationism was also at work to abduct people and create dissent. Many powers had similar efforts. That’s when liquidation arose. The adherence to ideology, willpower and resolution against all of these made the 15th of August Initiative. In the first 9 years, he essentially won the victory. He uncovered the Kurdish Question, and the Kurds said ‘we exist’. The Kurds, who were so afraid and living in terror, who were afraid to even talk about themselves, took to the streets. Serhildans began, first in Cizre and Nisêbîn, then in all of Kurdistan. The dead Kurd was resurrected. That’s why the revolution became the Resurrection Revolution. This revolution took place with a very important resistance, with the efforts of comrades Egid, Erdal, Bedran, Havva and hundreds of other friends. All of them were laborers, they played a role.
JUNE 1st MOVEMENT IS THE SECOND 15th AUGUST MOVEMENT
In the last 29 years, the Kurdish Question has been on the table to be resolved. Since then, our Leader has worked hard to develop a political solution through dialogue and has declared ceasefires many times. Again, our Leadership turned its direction to Europe in order to realize a political solution. But we saw, what happened? An attitude of rejection developed, Europe, the world of capitalist modernity, trampled on all its laws, did not accept political rights, illegally and illegally kidnapped the Leader and handed him over to Turkey. This is how the international conspiracy developed. The international conspiracy was essentially an attempt to complete the genocide. Because they thought, ‘If we arrest Leader Apo, the PKK will be liquidated’.
But Leader Apo, with his ingenious attitude in the Imrali Dungeon and the paradigm of a democratic and ecological society based on women’s liberation, actually thwarted this conspiracy. However, Turkish colonialism did not respond to the political solution efforts. Especially when the AKP came to power in 2002, it said ‘if you don’t think about it, there is no Kurdish problem’. In other words, they did not come to a solution, they insisted on the genocide. Against this, the June 1st Move was developed as a second August 15th Move. His decision has been made. Liquidationism again became an obstacle and caused problems, but all these were eliminated by the struggle of Leader Apo and his friends of the line. In this way, the 1 June Operation developed as a continuation of the 15 August Operation. Erdal, Adil, Nûda, Rojîn Gewda, Reşit Serdar, Mehmet Goyî and hundreds of other comrades contributed to this move and put up great resistance. Essentially, this is how our movement entered the growth process. True, the conspiracy was not completely defeated, but it was foiled, and the movement continued to grow and expand. We can say that; At the end of 2012, the Turkish army came to the point where it could no longer fight. Because many places are now under the control of the guerrilla. That’s when the enemy agreed to a ceasefire in early 2013.
THE TURKISH ARMY HAS THE SUPPORT OF NATO AND INTERNATIONAL FORCES
Protocol was done twice. Both in the process that started in 2013 and ended with the protocol on February 28, 2015, and on the basis of the discussions in Oslo before that, the parties developed a protocol by consensus. The Turkish state rejected these protocols. Our delegation and their delegation were debating for 2-3 years, reaching a conclusion for a solution, but the state and the government were rejecting it. Because the state and the government had no intention of a solution. He was using the ceasefire process for special warfare tactics. Yes, they agreed to the ceasefire in 2013, but the Turkish state overturned it with the help of NATO. Because NATO, neither militarily nor politically, did not want the Turkish army, which is NATO’s second army, to be defeated by the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla. But they also saw that he could not fight. That’s why they gave the technology of the era. Now some of the regime admits this. This UAV They used to call SİHA, that is, reconnaissance aircraft, domestic and national. They were all lies, they only assemble it in Turkey. NATO Gladio arranges and brings a sensitive part of each of them from 7-8 countries, and they combine it in Turkey. They made this weapon and gave it to them so that the superiority in the war would pass to the Turkish army. One, they did it. This was foreign support. There was also the political support of NATO and international powers. They also built a private army with mercenaries. They made a mercenary army that no matter how much you kill, the public does not know, because they make them sign deed not to be announced, their salaries are increased for their deaths and this is how they register. They created such a private army with mercenaries. They left the regular army out of it. In Turkey, they only do the assembly.

They created such a private army with mercenaries. They left the regular army out of it.
Our people saw in 2013 that they are building strongholds, making positions and reinforcing existing ones. At that time, our people objected to this, there were protests, even martyrdoms took place in Amed. Serhildans developed against those fortresses. The enemy was preparing himself for war. It received both technical and political support and created a private army. During the ceasefire process, they planned the ‘Collapse Plan’, that is, to bring us to our knees. It turns out that they made this plan on October 30, 2014. That is, their intentions are bad, they are treacherous, they are treacherous. They have always done this to the Kurds. The good thing is that the Kurdish people have a president, Leader Apo, so they were not fooled. Both the process was running and it was stated that we should always be cautious. Our movement also had some measures, so we were not defeated. Otherwise their main aim was to beat us, to make us like Tamils. How the Tamils were defeated in Sri Lanka, They wanted to liquidate us as well. As it is known, there was a dialogue with them in Oslo, and when they relaxed a bit, they went over them and liquidated them all.
But we did not relax ourselves, we had experiences, Leader Apo had warnings. Against their ‘Plan of Collapse’, first of all, city resistance and resistance to democratic autonomy developed. The Turkish state is now calling it a rebellion, a trench, etc. It wasn’t. It was not a rebellion. It was to pressure the state to develop the autonomy solution. Therefore, autonomy was declared in the neighborhoods. It was indeed a modest undertaking. But the Turkish state and the AKP government considered it a rebellion and took a very hard line. If it was as they say, we would put all our strength in the cities and start the rebellion. But it was not a rebellion. It was a declaration of regional autonomy led by more youth. It was the autonomy of neighborhoods and cities. The gun was not in the foreground, its social aspect was in the foreground. But as it is known, the enemy went with guns and great resistance developed against it. Ciager, Under the leadership of Xebatkar and Zeryan comrades, magnificent resistances were exhibited. The enemy has been shown that they cannot bring us to our knees. Mehmet Tunç has said this openly and said, ‘We will not bow down in Cizre, let our successors hold their heads high’. The serhildans of that time, the resistance exhibited really created a legacy. In this way, those plans came to naught.
2016 HAS BEEN THE YEAR OF BEACHERS
The Turkish state introduced itself to a new concept in 2016. Some sections tried to stage a coup, but mainly AKP-MHP did. They completed their own blow. On the basis of the Turkish-Islamic synthesis, with the mindset of the Union and Progress, they reached a new concept by saying, “Turkey will shrink, we must prevent this, Turkey should not shrink, we should grow, let’s occupy the national pact, let’s fight the PKK not only inside the border, but also outside the border.” Undoubtedly, this concept was a great danger for the Kurdish people. Because it was based on the policy of genocide. But it was also a danger to the Arab people, the Assyrian-Assyrian people and all the peoples of the region. Because within the framework of this concept, it wants to take all Syria and Iraq under its protection. This claim is still valid. We developed resistance against it, it has been six years, but they still have not given up on it.
We can say that the year 2016, which developed against this, was the year of the bouncers in our history of struggle. There were 27 successful bouncer actions this year. Apart from that, there were many selfless exits, an important resistance and war developed. But the enemy had also completed its internal and external alliances. In order to realize the dreams of the New Ottoman Empire, it turned the ISIS or Al-Nusra gangs along the lines of Al Qaeda, as well as the Brotherhood of Muslim and the collaborative Kurdish line into a pillar in this project. He focused on Kurdish collaboration in both Bashure Kurdistan and Bakure Kurdistan. After that, he gave importance to foreign powers. He made some of the foreign states support him with threats and blackmail. In short; in this way, he chose a new concept for himself and started attacks. To Jarablus, Etrus, Medya Defense Areas, Çarçêl in Bakur,
There is also something else; The Turkish state has used Turkey’s geostrategic position to crush the Kurdish movements both in the Ottoman and in the republican era, that is, now. He played in the international balances between hegemonic powers. More and more Russia and Europe constantly played between the western powers, took advantage of their contradictions, tried to get support from both sides by giving themselves sometimes from side to side and sometimes from side to side, and tried to liquidate the Kurdish movements in this way. Indeed, he has done so many times. During the Ottoman period, Mir Mihemed Rewanduzî defeated all of the Bedirxan Beg and later movements with this method. He’s doing the same now. In other words, he says you should help me defeat the Kurds by marketing Turkey, and he says the same to the other. And now we see, both NATO help me, He says that if you are with me in anti-Kurdish opposition, I will accept your terms, and he goes to Russia and says the same. This state has been carrying out such a vile policy on the basis of anti-Kurdish sentiment for 200 years. Now he continues the same policy against us.
There is also the state of the world. We are at war now. We do not need to go into too many broad evaluations and comments. But the state of the world concerns us very closely. Because the Kurdish Question is an international problem as well as a local one. Hasn’t this problem become a problem in Lausanne? Denial developed in Lausanne and Kurdistan was divided into 4 parts like this. The Kurdish Question is an international problem. Again, these states are coming against the Kurdish people by relying on international states. That this is a meaningful, not local, but international issue. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully follow and recognize international situations. Leader Apo has always given importance to this and carried out politics on it. We would like to mention briefly here.
The situation of the world entered a new phase with the collapse of Real Socialism. The forces of capitalist modernity declared this a victory for themselves. They said they will build a new world now. They already named it New World Order, and they gave it many other names. They said that they will establish a unipolar world under the leadership of the USA. Let’s talk briefly; 30 years have passed since then, essentially it continued until 2010. It continued from 1989 to 2010, it was an intermediate process. During this interim period, they intervened in Iraq, Afghanistan and many other places. But they did not succeed. Leader Apo says; In capitalism, that is, in capitalist modernity, chaos is a part of life. It is always a chaotic system, in constant crisis. He could not get out of the crisis even though he was alone and under the conditions that he said he was dominating the world. Every time capitalism enters a crisis, it tries to alleviate or overcome these crises with war. They are waging war. That’s how they unleashed the world war. He is trying to breathe and trying to alleviate his crises by starting regional wars. That’s why they intervened, they fought, but their crisis deepened day by day.
The serhildans of the Arab people developed lastly in 2011, and the war process began. In fact, the 3rd World War began. The period starting from the 1990s until 2011 was the beginning of the 3rd World War. There is a world war that spreads over time and is waged in a new way. Now the system of capitalist modernity is in its most crisis period. As it is known, in the past, the war was only in the Middle East region, but the contradictions were multifaceted. Then the war shifted to Ukraine. Now the war in Ukraine is actually a war between NATO and Russia. Russia’s initial calculations on Ukraine were wrong. Needless to comment further, he thought that the people and the army there would not resist, but it did not. His troops weren’t too successful either. That’s why Russia had to change its strategy. Now he recovered himself by changing his strategy and advancing step by step from the front.
Many things were revealed with the Ukraine war. It became clear from the decisions taken at the NATO meeting in Madrid that they had reached a new decision. Now they are openly preparing themselves for war, targeting Russia and China. Some new things began to be talked about openly in the world. In fact, it has been on the agenda for a long time. Now everyone is preparing themselves for war. China is collecting food. It also prepares itself by collecting and storing enough food to last for years. They are preparing themselves for war on earth. But now they go to space and prepare themselves for war there too. I guess China saw that the other parties were preparing themselves for war there, and they left. In this way, the capitalist world entered a new phase. What is this? First of all, digitalism is developing in war. The world is now turning into a digital world, technology is more dominant. Politically, many forces emerged. The parties have made themselves clear. The crises between the parties also came to light. They used to call it the cold war, but now it’s far surpassed. Now everyone is clearly making preparations against each other. There is an economic, political and military struggle between hegemonic powers and world capitalists.
If we do not count the Japanese, we can basically define it as the eastern and western capital. We’ve been describing it that way for a few years already. Maybe the parties such as China, India and Russia have not been fully united within themselves. But it is mentioned. They are trying to unite against Iran in the Middle East, they are trying to unite against China in the Pacific Ocean, they are creating some problems there, they are putting issues such as Taiwan etc. on the agenda. Here in Eastern Europe there is Russia, there is NATO. There, too, Serbia and Kosovo are constantly heated. In other words, contradictory fields emerge in many places. These contradictions are always deepening in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific. In other words, the world has entered such a hot period, contradictions deepen, violence comes to the fore, the powers are preparing themselves for this.
Sweden and Finland suddenly threw themselves into NATO’s arms, as if they had just realized it. They put all their principles aside and tried to enter NATO hastily. Turkey also used this card well. Will Turkey ever miss this? It even tries to take advantage of the bird flying in the air against the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle. He immediately said, ‘I do not accept this’. Because NATO has a rule, old members have to approve the accession of a new member. Tayyip Erdoğan and the AKP-MHP regime used this as a trump card. They also signed an agreement. But there is nothing very new in its content. These powers have been supporting the Lausanne line for a long time. They basically wanted to put the Rojava Revolution on the terror list. We can say that they did not fully achieve their goals. Undoubtedly, they achieved something. But the AKP-MHP regime has been very much exposed in the world and is in a tight spot. In the war between NATO and Russia in Ukraine, some contradictions arose between the east and the west, and opportunities were opened for them. Thanks to this, they tried to impose themselves and make them an intermediary. They are cheating, they basically support Ukraine, but they say ‘we are carrying out a policy of balance’ and they are managing Russia. Russia needs them too. This is how the AKP-MHP regime tried to take advantage of this process. Briefly; The world is heading towards such a biased, polarized and crisis-ridden process. We can say that the capitalist world is redesigning itself. A new design is always on the agenda in the Middle East region. They are cheating, they basically support Ukraine, but they say ‘we are carrying out a policy of balance’ and they are managing Russia. Russia needs them too. This is how the AKP-MHP regime tried to take advantage of this process. Briefly; The world is heading towards such a biased, polarized and crisis-ridden process.

We can say that the capitalist world is redesigning itself. A new design is always on the agenda in the Middle East region.
In fact, Leader Apo saw all this beforehand. That’s why, as early as 2013, he tried to establish a solution and an alliance with Turkey. He aimed for the Kurdish people in Kurdistan to come to the stage of history with a common strategy and to establish their national unity. The national unity congresses that took place several times in Hewlêr were held on the basis of the Leader’s suggestions. They were the efforts of our organization. But then the interventions developed, some forces warned the KDP. They aggravated the process and stopped it. In fact, no one has indicated why they stopped. Only the center of the meetings was in Hewlêr, the KDP did not agree to this, new meetings did not take place and stopped. But we knew there were dangers. In such a period, in order for the Kurds and Kurdistan to have a place in the new design, the Kurdish people must be united and act on the basis of a common strategy. This was necessary. But especially when ISIS gangs emerged, a very serious danger arose both in the region and in the world. Our movement against this took a very effective stance on the basis of Leader Apo’s call. The intervention in Shengal and Kobani was not ordinary. Everyone was fleeing from ISIS, even the states were fleeing. But Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla intervened under the leadership of Dilşêr Herekol, Memo Merdîn, Egîd Cîvyan and Zekî Şengalî comrades. It was a historical intervention. The Kurds came to the fore in the war against ISIS. There was war in Bashur and Rojava, the Kurds came to the fore and opportunities were created. But national unity efforts were thwarted. We saw that there were some dangers. In 2015 and 2016, we had discussions with the parties, especially the KDP, and we said that if we could not officially develop national unity, let’s act together and not unite with the enemies. Discussions have developed for this. But as a result of all this, it turned out that the KDP made its decision not to support national unity, but to stand with Turkey and act with them. Presumably, when he saw that the Turkish state would attack everyone, he took their side. This was undoubtedly a very distorted decision for the interests of the Kurdish people. However, in this period, the Kurdish people should have acted on the basis of a common strategy. If he had behaved like this, the situation of the Kurds would have been different now. But it wasn’t good that they behaved this way, that there was fragmentation. The situation was undoubtedly a very distorted decision for the interests of the Kurdish people.

But it wasn’t good that they behaved this way, that there was fragmentation.
TURKISH STATE WANTS TO LIQUID ALL KURDISH ORGANIZATIONS
Some of the Kurds are now with the Turkish state. But Kurdish patriotism, all patriotic politicians and forces should not accept it. Still, even if some parties do not favor national unity, patriotic ones must establish national unity. This is a very important and sacred task that lies before all of us. We must act with this in mind. We want everyone to come and participate. But one side is openly collaborating with the enemy, acting like that. So, we should not be content with this, we should develop national unity without taking it off the agenda, and we should make more and stronger efforts to protect the existence of the Kurdish people and the Kurdish nation in this historical period and to make them live freely in these lands.
The Turkish state first wants to liquidate us and then to bring everyone in line. He wants to liquidate them all, including the KDP. The past of the Turkish state in the previous serhildans is full of the same experiences. During the Dersim Tertele, they also liquidated the factions with the state. This was always the case in the Şêx Seîd rebellion and the Agirî rebellion. The Turkish state does not want even the collaborator Kurd to stay. That’s why he says ‘one nation, one homeland, one state, one flag’. That’s why he’s so single. We wanted to make this understood, but there are parties who do not make sense of it and cannot understand it. The Turkish state is now fighting us and says ‘the PKK is the target’. It is true, we are the first target. But then all the interests and gains of the Kurdish people. At the same time, the target is all the people of the region, the Arab people, the Assyrian-Syriac people. All democrats are targets. All left socialist forces in Turkey are targets. It wants to silence and liquidate everyone and thus establish a fascist regime on the basis of the Turanism mentality along the lines of the Union and Progress and become dominant.
LEADING RESISTANCE CONTINUES
The war was mainly seen in the politics carried out on Imrali. The psychological torture and isolation system applied cruelly against Leader Apo on Imrali essentially expresses the essence of the Turkish state’s policy. They are spreading this in waves all over Turkey and Kurdistan from there. The 200-day hunger strike resistance led by Leyla Güven, most recently with the resistance of comrades, saw lawyers and family leadership several times as a result of martyrdoms. Then once the family made a short phone call. But for 17 months since then, no one has heard of the Leadership. Tayyip Erdogan talks about it, he says, ‘Imrali will take a stand against Selahattin Demirtaş’. He talks like that. AKP journalists sometimes talk about it, saying that the doors of İmralı will be opened and his family will visit. They use it again on the basis of special psychological warfare. They put such things on the agenda to create hope, to cause relaxation and complacency. We know that they are in contact with the Leadership during this process, but they are doing this to put more pressure on the Leader and to impose their will on the Leader. The leadership also does not accept this, so they do not lift the isolation, the isolation continues with all its violence. The leadership and its friends are resisting. This is what is revealed. Undoubtedly, all the friends in the dungeon are under great pressure today and they are resisting. Kurdish politics, Turkey’s left socialists and democrats are resisting today. Because they are also under pressure. The pressures on our people are great. A very broad and fascistic wave of attacks continues today. This has been going on for seven years. We know that they are in contact with the Leadership during this process, but they are doing this to put more pressure on the Leader and to impose their will on the Leader.

We know that they are in contact with the Leadership during this process, but they are doing this to put more pressure on the Leader and to impose their will on the Leader. The leadership also does not accept this, so they do not lift the isolation, the isolation continues with all its violence. The leadership and its friends are resisting. This is what is revealed.

As it is known, the main force of the Kurdistan Freedom Movement and Leader Apo is the Kurdistan Defense Forces. The Kurdistan Defense Forces are also HPG. The enemy wants to liquidate it because he knows this. The enemy calculates that if he liquidates the guerrilla, he will liquidate all the others. For this reason, especially in recent years, it has tended to liquidate the guerrilla much more. The new war process is more based on intelligence. Developing technology has actually increased the possibilities of obtaining intelligence. Of course, missiles that lock on the target and focus on the target on the basis of lasers were developed and given to the Turkish state. Therefore, the guerrilla fighting against this army has to be the guerrilla of the age. So he must be a fully professional and modern guerrilla. It must be able to nullify all the technique of the age. Apart from that, a NATO army, It is impossible to win against an army supported by the whole of NATO. First of all, you must thwart the enemy intelligence. This is how it should act. Then you have to drain his air power. Because he is trying to dominate himself by relying on air power. He already has two things in his hand; intelligence and air power. It also develops psychological warfare. This is how he tries to get results.
GUERILLA IS LEADING
The war will of the new army created by the Turkish state with money is not that strong and cannot fight against our friends. But they want results with intelligence and technique. Can he enter the Medya Defense Zones without a plane in hand? He can never get in! This power itself does not fight, it gathers intelligence with the technique it has handed over to foreign powers and hits targets with this technique. He’s trying to fight it. Of course, now they’ve put other things into play. They put the dogs, the collaborating Kurds, the agents giving him intelligence into action. He wants to get results by developing the agency. All his efforts now are based on this. In fact, we can say that it is a private and psychological war. It is not a normal war. Guerrilla is experiencing an innovation in Bakurê Kurdistan and Medya Defense Zones today. We call it the guerrilla of the age, we call it the guerrilla of the new era. It is a guerrilla who has deepened in the art of war, specialized in the branch, has caught a wealth of tactics, acts on the basis of secrecy, has a developed belief on the ideological basis, and can fight against psychological warfare and all kinds of wars. He is the one who can lead in all matters such as ideological war, organizational war, military war. This has improved to some extent.
At the beginning of 2020, team combat developed in Heftenin. It continued in Garê in 2021, after which the resistance that developed in Avaşîn, Zap and Metîna defeated the plans of the Turkish state for 2021. This is a fact that has now become history. Indeed, the resistance that developed under the leadership of Şoreş Beytüşşebap, Cumali, Çavrê, Botan, Serhat, Rêber, Hêjar defeated the enemy in 2021. They’re stuck.
The Turkish state has given this task to the AKP-MHP government. They think that if the AKP-MHP government can achieve this concept, their power and fascist regime will continue. But if they fail, the system will be defeated, and they will not succeed either. They will most likely go to jail. So they will be tried because they have committed many crimes. That’s why this government is bound to succeed, it sees it as vital to itself. He sees it as a problem of existence-non-existence. For us, this process is the process of existence-nonexistence. Because they want to build their own existence through our absence. They also know well that if they cannot destroy us, they will perish. The war is now at a sensitive and vital point for both sides. In 2022, the AKP-MHP regime put all the possibilities of the Turkish state into action. So he used his own geostrategic position, He negotiates, here’s how he’s seen how he donated himself to NATO, he goes back and forth to Tehran to negotiate with Russia. He is trying in every way.
TURKISH ARMY TAKES HUGE LOSSES
Our friends are making a great sacrifice. Not just our martyrs. Our comrades who have been fighting for four months are making history. We don’t need to praise ourselves too much. But what is happening now is something that has very few examples in history. It is a brand new condition. First of all, a new page is being written in the art of war and in the history of war. So, how can a professional expert force stop the largest army with clever tactics and methods, despite using banned weapons? How can he stop it even though he has the support of so many international powers behind him? How can the Kurds do this even though there are collaborator groups and support the enemy? How did this army get stuck even though it got so much support? That is the truth. Today, the enemy is blocked in the Medya Defense Zones. The enemy was not successful in Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna. the war is still going on. We do not want to declare a victory right now, it is still going on. But so far it has not been successful. This is the defeat of the Turkish state. He has that much power. It renews and changes its strength every week. It’s constantly dying. The Turkish state has never lost so many consecutive losses in its history. Bashure has never suffered such losses in Kurdistan. The war has never lasted for 4 months in a row like this. This is a new situation. This is a new tactical method. Professional teams that can fight in a coordinated way, mobile and semi-mobile teams and teams based on tunnel warfare – because tunnel warfare also works with teams – and fighting with active defense is a new situation in the history of warfare. This is a new way for all humanity. But so far it has not been successful. This is the defeat of the Turkish state. He has that much power. It renews and changes its strength every week.

AKP and Erdoğan-Bahçeli bring the children of the Turkish people and have them killed in these mountains. So many people have died so far, they do not admit this and they do not admit their defeats. Nor can they confess. Because not if they confess. They confessed in Garê, they have now repented. In Garê, they said, ‘Unfortunately, we were not successful’. But now they can’t say it anymore. But time and truth will make them say that too. Four months have passed and they still have not achieved any results. What is this? The problem is that; Those who say they are against him within the system also support this. That’s why their defeat is not revealed. If it were not so, some of them should have appeared before them in the parliament and said, ‘Why haven’t you been able to get Zap for four months, why can’t you get it even though you’ve been dealing with a hill for four months?’ But they don’t ask either, because they’re all together. We have national agreements before us. That’s why it’s so important to eat them. If this regime is defeated, all fascism will be defeated. The trouble on all peoples, Arab, Kurdish, Turkish, Assyrian-Syrian and Persian peoples will be lifted. Because if this regime becomes dominant, everyone will be in trouble. It will fight, its war will develop, it will inflict genocide on the Kurdish people anyway. That’s why it’s so important. The resistance I am waging now is the Kurdish people’s war of existence, a war of freedom, a war of democracy in the region, a war of freedom for all peoples in the region. Therefore, it is very meaningful. It will inflict genocide on the Kurdish people. That’s why it’s so important. The resistance I am waging now is the Kurdish people’s war of existence, a war of freedom, a war of democracy in the region, a war of freedom for all peoples in the region.

Therefore, it is very meaningful.
In order for this war to be waged at this level, pioneers are needed. A pioneer is essential. Today the guerrilla is leading the way. If the guerrilla, who has become equalized on the basis of Leader Apo’s thoughts, as we have said before, who has become Eğîdized and Zilanized on the basis of the Spirit of August 15, and raised the spirit of sacrifice of July 14, this method will probably not develop like this. In other words, any power that has created this force in itself, that has developed communalism and comradeship with this spirit and solidarity, can develop such a war.
What is the other most important aspect of it? In this war, in the line of Comrade Sara (Sakine Cansız) and in the footsteps of Zilan and Delal Amed, Kurdish women glorify the will of women in the person of Mizgîn, Şevîn, Nalîn, Berfîn, Armanc, Avînar and many other comrades. It shows how much victory power a woman has in war. The work carried out by the members of YJA STAR and the resistance carried out today is a brand new outlet for the freedom struggle of all women in the world. It is strength and will. Another is; How is synergy created? On the basis of the spirit of comradeship, it clearly shows how Egîdization develops when the solidarity between men and women based on the Apoist ideology leads to synergy. So the war that is being waged now has indeed revealed and created many values with itself so far. We also say; These created values contain the basis of the great victory. In other words, if we act on this basis, if we organize ourselves in the light of the lessons of the resistance carried out so far, our success and victory are certain. Of course, I can not say that we have won this right now. We are still in it, our hand is under the stone. The burden is heavy, not easy, and we know that. Now the friends who fight in the field know, it is not that easy. It might be easy to say. We cannot fully explain the resistance of our friends by saying it. I don’t believe we gave him his full due. But still, voicing is one thing, doing it in practice is another. That’s why it’s so important.

Seven years have passed. The war we wage against the colonialist-genocidal fascist Turkish state continues uninterruptedly and uninterruptedly. They want to liquidate us as soon as possible. As you all know, they set a target in April 2017. Already when the 15th of August Campaign started, they had a life of 72 hours. Let alone what they reap, because it is a lie. But the truth of the PKK, the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, the truth of the Kurdish people is a will and it is evident. The enemy now wants to complete Lausanne’s centennial with the Kurdish genocide. He even wants to declare his victory and expand this agreement even further. For this, this year, namely 2022 and 2023, is very important. The process ahead is important, this period is the period of change.
The war waged today is at its peak. In what sense is it at the top? It is the summit for us, our tactics are in their most refined form. A significant deepening has been gained in the Revolutionary People’s War. The current war is a peak in representing the self-sacrificing spirit of Zilans, Egîds and 14th of July. It really is so. It is also a peak in getting results and achieving victory. Therefore, it is important for us, for the existence and future of our Leader, our people and the peoples of the region, to wage this war in such a period. So far, everyone has resisted. First and foremost, Leader Apo is resisting and leading, the dungeons are resisting, Turkey’s left socialist forces are resisting, all of our people are resisting, the free press is resisting. In general, we are in a resistance as a nation and with our friends. Arab people, Assyrian-Syriac people, Kurdish people against genocide and occupation, The resistance of the Turkish people becomes one. This war is the war of democracy and freedom. It is a holy war.
On July 24, seven years of this war ended. The enemy was unsuccessful. It is true, we paid a price, even the enemy may have occupied some places. But the enemy could not achieve his goal, he could not succeed, and the enemy’s system was on the verge of collapse. He tries his luck for the last time not to collapse and wants to succeed. But we know that if we go deep in this way methods, we win. But it should be known that we did not get it that easily. We paid. We gave thousands of martyrs. From the city resistance to the resistance in the mountains and the general, we paid a price. Atakan Mahir, Çetin Siverek, Zîn Cizre, Yılmaz Dêrsim, Çiçek Botan, Doğan Zınar, Azad Sîser, Çekdar Amed, Berçem Cîlo, Ali Pılling, Numan Batman, Gülnaz Ege, Delal Amed, Egîd Cîvyan, Diljîn Marya, Şervan Êrken , Rizgar Gever, Vedat Amed, Dilşêr Herekol, Bedrettin Amanos, Welat Herinki, Zerdeşt Navdar, Baharîn, İsa Serhat, Şevîn Bingöl, Çavreş Serhat, Hewram Avyer, Cuma Mardin, Medya Mawa, Bager Garzan, Egîd Garzan, Şervan Varto, Hakî Amed, Tekoşer Şemzînan, Armanc Goşkar, Zeki Şengalî, Zerdeşt Şengalî, Cumali Çarken We have martyred Çavrê Kamuran, Şoreş Beytüşşebap, Botan, Serhat, Rêber, Hejar comrades and thousands of our martyred comrades in these seven years.

It is on this basis that we welcome the 38th Anniversary of the 15 August Initiative. We face very important responsibilities and burdens. Because we know that we have tasks ahead of us. If we do not fulfill our duties, everything will be at stake. As the comrades of these heroes, we are in a self-critical position. Our position against the leadership and the line of martyrs is self-critical. We are indebted to them and we want to repay this debt. We want to be the answer in this historical period. We are all like that. Everyone, big or small, is the bouncer of this road and we are in debt. We know that today’s resistance in Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna formed the basis of victory. If we learn from the shortcomings and use the experiences correctly, we can be successful against this enemy anywhere. This is how we would like to welcome the 39th anniversary of August 15th. So more experience, on the basis of more faith, more creativity, more courage and more will; We will make the peoples’ march for freedom, the freedom march of Kurdistan, and Leader Apo’s freedom march successful.
