BEHDINAN – YJA Star and HPG guerrillas spoke to ANF on the occasion of the 38th anniversary of the 15 August Initiative. Reminding that the Kurdish people revolted with the August 15 Initiative, the guerrillas emphasized that the war waged in the mountains of Kurdistan today is the continuation of the August 15 Initiative.
The evaluations of YJA Star and HPG guerrillas regarding the 15 August Initiative are as follows:
YJA Star guerrilla Agirî Afrin
A very heavy war is being waged in the mountains of Kurdistan. The guerrillas protect their human dignity against the enemy by following the footsteps of Egît and Zilan with the Apoist spirit. We are students of Egit and Zilans. Just as Commander Egît made history with the first bullet, today the guerrilla is making history in the ongoing war in the mountains. We also take our place in war and struggle. Our aim is to defeat the invading enemy, and by defeating our enemy, we will leave our mark on history.
The invading Turkish state is waging a war against the guerrillas with chemical weapons. The enemy uses all kinds of forbidden weapons. We are fighting against these brutal attacks. The enemy will not be able to break our will despite all the attacks. No matter what happens, we will not abandon our land. We have been living on this land for thousands of years, this land is our land. We will protect our country until the last drop of our blood. We will not give a piece of our land to our enemy.
YOUTH SHOULD DIRECT TO THE MOUNTAINS

Happy August 15 Initiative to Rêber Apo, the people of Kurdistan and all comrades. The first bullet fired on August 15, 1984 reached millions. It is a call to all women and their youth; In such a heavy and difficult process, everyone should turn their way to the mountain. We must increase our struggle to avenge our friends who were martyred with chemical weapons. Why does our enemy use chemical weapons? Because he has nothing else. The enemy’s technique was in vain in the face of our strength and will. Everyone should know this truth and believe in the guerrilla. We know that our people also believe in us and have our back. We will definitely make this year the year of success.
OUR RESISTANCE WILL END IN VICTORY

The first bullet was fired by our great commander Egîd on 15 August. That lead was the rebirth of the Kurdish people. The Kurdish people stood up with the sound of that bullet. Today, the spirit of the 15 August Initiative is being waged in the war in Zap, Avaşîn and Metina. Just as the first bullet fired by Commander Egîd became the resurrection day of the Kurdish people, the resistance in the mountains of Kurdistan will result in the victory of the Kurdish people.
In the mountains of Kurdistan, our comrades are displaying a resistance with the fighting spirit of the heval Egîd, Bêrîtan and Zîlans. We will never leave the vengeance of our martyrs on the ground and we will definitely win. This war is a war of existence and non-existence. Youth, especially young women, must rise up against the invasion attacks. Young people should join hands with their comrades and fight against the occupying state.
NO ONE CAN BREAK THIS WILL CREATED BY RÊBER APO

On 15 August, the spark lit by commander Egît turned into a fireball that no one could extinguish today. We, too, follow in the footsteps of Commander Egît. The ongoing war in Medya Defense Zones is the continuation of the 15 August Initiative. Our friends are waging a relentless struggle against the enemy in Zap, Metîna and Avaşîn. Despite the support of NATO, the Turkish state cannot fight against the guerrilla. The resistance carried out along the lines of Commander Egîd and Zîlan will win. The Turkish state is waging a war with advanced weapons and techniques. Even if the enemy brings thousands of his soldiers, he cannot win against the guerrilla. The reason for the defeat of the Turkish state is the struggle of our comrades with a self-sacrificing spirit. The source of this power is Rêber Apo’s ideology and philosophy. No one can break this will created by Rêber Apo.
The Turkish state, which uses all kinds of forbidden weapons in the war, cannot succeed against the guerrilla and does everything to hide its failure. The support of the Turkish state, NATO and the treacherous KDP is attacking the guerrilla. If these weapons had been used elsewhere, the whole world would have taken a stand. But everyone is silent against the weapons used in the freedom movement, and this shows how immoral the war was waged. Our war against the enemy is the continuation of the 15 August resistance. Our victory will be like the victory of the August 15 Initiative.
