NEWS CENTER – On August 15, 1984, the first bullet was fired under the leadership of Immortal Commander Mahsum Korkmaz. This bullet contained a historical, sociological meaning rather than a physical event. Because it was a bullet fired into darkness, massacre and exploitation. With the first bullet, the people of Kurdistan tasted the resurrection and realized the meaning of life, the necessity of resistance and struggle. The youth of Kurdistan flocked to the ranks of the PKK. Kurdish women became the authors of the epic of resistance. No one would be able to trample on the honor of the Kurd any longer.
The breathless resistance of the armed struggle, which lasted for 38 years, kept the people of Kurdistan alive and made it a place in the history scene. The sound of that first bullet echoed in the mountains of Kurdistan for 38 years. From Botan to Dersim, from Serhat to Garzan, from Amanos to the Black Sea Mountains…
This sound is still in our ears. We hear this voice in Werxelê, in Mamreoşo, in Kurojahro, in the bullets of the guerrilla fighting with the spirit of Egit.
