BEHDINAN – Under the historical leadership of Leader Apo, the August 15 Initiative, which took place under the command of Friend Egîd, as the greatest step for a people to re-create itself from its ashes, is now in its 38th year. YJA Star guerrillas, who pioneered modern guerrillaism of the 21st century, became a force in the victory line of Egîd and Zîlan. Under the leadership of our comrade Egîd (Mahsum Korkmaz), who was the immortal commander of the breakthrough on August 15, 1984, a tremendous freedom struggle has been carried out at great cost for 38 years. We welcome the 39th Year of Resistance with the determination to carry out the great struggle to shape the future on the basis of freedom with the values created by this struggle and to ensure this on the basis of certain success. The fact that we are closer than ever to Rêber Apo’s goal of carrying the line of freedom to victory is certain. I salute Rêber Apo with love and respect, who has led the women who have been condemned to slavery for millennia and the oppressed Kurdish people to liberation through resistance. I commemorate with respect and gratitude our comrades who walked in the forefront of this line and achieved the most difficult task, who sacrificed their lives for this cause, and all our martyrs of the revolution in the person of Egîd friend. Devotion to martyrs requires creating and perpetuating the conditions and system for women and peoples to live together freely. As we enter the 39th Year of Resurrection, it must be reiterated on behalf of all YJA Star forces that this is our only choice of life.

IT IS HISTORIC FOR KURDISH WOMEN
In terms of being the first bullet directed at both colonialism and classical Kurdish in the history of the Kurdish people, the 15th August 1984 Breakthrough has historical value and expresses the same meaning and quality for Kurdish women. The meeting of women with the mountain, its organization on the basis of guerrillaism, and the possibility of struggle have found content with the successes of the firsts experienced in practice. In this sense, the activities of August 15 are also the milestones of starting the freedom struggle against the male domination of women, its institutionalization, the fascist state structure, and the classical-traditional-enslaving social reality. If the August 15 Initiative had not taken place, if the guerrilla had not taken the step of striking the enemy and had not achieved a systematic development, the will of freedom would not have developed, of course. The Women’s Freedom Struggle would not be able to meet the conditions for real development. In other words, YJA Star, which is currently the largest ideologically, organizationally and militarily libertarian women’s guerrilla movement in the world, would not have had the opportunity to develop in this way. Therefore, the most effective method of achieving the Women’s Freedom Revolution is a guerrilla struggle shaped on the basis of self-defense, and in this sense, the 15th of August is our basic legacy on which our Women’s Freedom Struggle is based, as the first opposition and practical step of the women’s army conditioned to the Women’s Freedom Revolution against male domination. The Women’s Freedom Movement, which had the opportunity to develop with the tremendous ideological-organizational leadership and practical encouragement of Rêber Apo, has been in the mountains for more than 40 years and has been a male-dominated mentality since the 15 August protest.
REVOLUTIONARY EVERY DAY
The meeting of the woman with the idea of freedom, the need to realize it, the courage to take a step towards it, the will to define the colonialist and rebel against him, on this basis, with the mountains and the arms, which are torn from her breath of life in the spiral of a false sense of honor in the colonized Kurdish social reality, expresses enormous developments that are revolutionary every day. Of course, it would have required great will to fight to “preserve its existence and ensure its freedom” against the colonialist-genocidal-misogynist, and to develop a new life on the basis of freedom values and social-cultural change in the face of the backward-traditional mentality and culture. In this sense, the consistency of Rêber Apo’s comradeship with women and the principled response of women to this comradeship and their march step by step through all these difficulties with the passion for freedom, enabled the will of freedom to take on flesh and bones and to become a leader in women’s liberation not only in Kurdistan, but also in the Middle East and the world. Will; It is the power and ability to correctly identify their needs, take the decision to reach them and take steps on this basis. August 15 is our historical heritage, our starting point as a practice of struggle, in terms of the development of women’s will for freedom and the realization of the goal of freedom. Rather than whether there are women in this action, it is important that an army that includes women who carried out the action and the organization it is affiliated with, Rêber Apo, who is the source of this organization, strategically target women’s freedom. August 15 is the step for this ideology to practically start the struggle for self-defense, in this sense, it has turned towards women’s freedom, It has a meaning that is the turning point of the struggle practice of women’s army. On the basis of this reality, Comrade Egîd has an essence and quality that has created these criteria in itself, as well as being a guerrilla commander, as well as being a guerrilla commander, with his leadership in this first step on the basis of his commitment to the ideology of freedom and his purpose. For this reason, just as the free female identity defines itself as a line in the reality of “ZÎLAN” in terms of our history of struggle, the free male identity finds a definition and measure as the reality of “EGID”. has quality. For this reason, just as the free female identity defines itself as a line in the reality of “ZÎLAN” in terms of our history of struggle, the free male identity finds a definition and measure as the reality of “EGID”. has quality. For this reason, just as the free female identity defines itself as a line in the reality of “ZÎLAN” in terms of our history of struggle, the free male identity finds a definition and measure as the reality of “EGID”.
AUGUST 15 IS THE ANSWER TO HUMANITY
The August 15 Initiative, which started under the leadership of Comrade Egîd (Mahsum Korkmaz), initiated a more ambitious and qualified process than the rebellions that developed entirely on the basis of guerrillaism in Kurdistan. The wealth, beauty, fertility and majesty of the land of Kurdistan became the center of the resistance by integrating with the spirit of Egîds and Zîlans. It embodied the fact that sacrifice and resistance ensured an absolute victory in the person of Egîds, Zîlans, Bêrîtans, Saras, Sultan Yavuzs, Hanım Yaverkayas, Ozan Mizgîns, Çiçek Selcans, Binevş Egals who led this resistance. Undoubtedly, the nature of the geography where this struggle is taken is very important. The lands of Kurdistan have been the cradle of the birth of humanity, In this sense, it has a quality that has lived freely for thousands of years on the basis of goddess culture and that the basic values of humanity are shaped in this process. It is due to this fact that the capitalist hegemonic powers mostly impose war, plunder, exploitation, and nothingness on their people on these lands. The August 15 Initiative, as it has a meaning that is the answer to all these, should be seen as an effort to meet the Middle East-centered self-defense and essence of all humanity. In this sense, these places have been the cradle of a historical reality where the peoples of the Middle East have given the strongest response to the colonialist, tyrant, looter and false masculinity under the leadership of women’s freedom. Thousands of Egîds and Zîlans, who struggle to keep humanity nourished from the mother goddess culture from Botan to Zagros, to defend it and to bestow it on all humanity, resist based on great values rooted in these lands. While women, who are not militarized, are currently defined as YJA Star, this definition is characterized as the organized identity of the struggle based on historical roots and the sum of the great resistance and heroism carried out for this purpose. It is the sum of the heroism and resistance that has taken place from history to the present. this definition is characterized as the organized identity of the struggle based on historical roots and the sum of the great resistance and heroism carried out for this purpose.

ATTACKS ARE NOT PERIODIC
As we enter the 39th year of August 15, our guerrilla forces are waging a war along the lines of Egîd and Zîlan. 38 Years of Struggle has unleashed a power of development and struggle that has been organized in four parts of Kurdistan with itself and inspired the freedom of women in the world. III. In the face of the fact that the Rêber Apo paradigm systematized the line of freedom of women and peoples in the reality of World War II, the fascist Turkish state, which has been turned into a tool under the leadership of hegemonic powers, is attacking our lands with a method and intensity that has long exceeded the morality of war. In this sense, it is desired to eliminate the gains of our people and to defeat the goddess values once again in the geography of Kurdistan. In this period as we enter the 39th Year of Resistance, the war in the heart of the Zagros, the attacks on Rojava, Targeting the entire Kurdish people and geography in any way basically means this. The attack is not periodic, it serves a purpose based on the historical characteristics of the male-dominated mentality and institutionalization, that is, the fascist state structures that represent it. In this sense, as Rêber Apo has defined a lot, it should be seen as an attack against the Democratic Civilization paradigm and should be viewed from a holistic perspective. On this basis, the struggle waged by the YJA Star forces is an effort and resistance to protect the freedom of women and our people and peoples based on ideological purposes just like the 15 August Initiative, and to turn it into a life system. In this sense, it is the representation of the Leadership paradigm. Based on this, today the YJA Star guerrillas defend the legacy left by the Leader and the martyrs,
YJA STAR ASKS AN ACCOUNT
YJA Star, as the guarantee of victory and freedom, achieves new achievements almost every day with the actions they take based on creative tactics during this war, and reveals that a woman who believes in freedom has become the greatest honor, and shows a will of resistance with a superhuman quality. As always, especially in this period, with a great performance, the power of Kurdish women was revealed once again in the person of YJA Star, and the volitional stance created by this power has become the nightmare of the enemy, the treacherous group of collaborators, while raising their moral values in terms of women’s freedom. This reality has been proved in the person of Mizgîns, Ronahîs, Nalîns, Tolhildans, Avzems, Şervins and Sharistans. Nujins, Diljins, Amaras, Nudas in Northern Kurdistan, In the person of the skies, the revolution led by women in Rojavayê Kurdistan reveals itself as a real will for freedom. Fearing this reality, the fascist mentality attacks women every day. Finally, these attacks, which martyred comrades Jiyan, Avesta and Barîn, who were women pioneers in the field of Rojava Revolution, are an effort to prevent the power of the Free Women’s Movement and the women’s army. Targeting women means targeting the women’s revolution. In this sense, male domination is in an effort to destroy the will of women, which leads the development of freedom in the concrete context of the Turkish fascist state. YJA Star militancy, which is organized with the essence of Egîds and Zîlans, resists the attacks with the awareness of this fact and acts as a liar against the rogue, liar, is holding the genocidal masculinity to account in the person of the fascist Turkish state. As Kurdish women, we are a force fed by the ideology of our Leader and marching towards freedom in the line of Egîd, Zîlan and Bêrîtans. In the footsteps of Saras and Delal Ameds, the role of Kurdish women in the guerrilla ranks was once again revealed at the highest level this year.
REAL REPRESENTATION OF FREE KURDISH IDENTITY
As the occupation operation launched against Zap, Avaşîn and Metina areas on April 17 enters its fourth month, there is a reality that has been organized with tremendous effort and resistance every day, embodying a stance at the summit in terms of representing the freedom values of the development of women’s freedom. Our comrades, who, despite the enemy’s technical occupation attacks and the inhumane warfare methods they used, organized themselves almost to their cells, demonstrated their power to take action in conditions where the enemy almost massed in technique and numbers with great military skill, and embodied that the history of humanity can be lived based on willpower in the face of limited human needs. shows his greatest resistance. These comrades prove that if women are armed with the passion for freedom, they will become the greatest fighting force. This reality is the last link reached by the rebellion against its own backwardness, indifference, submissiveness, the enemy, the system, and the life that produced it, and the certainty that the will of freedom, which has succeeded in restructuring itself in this sense, can defeat the enemy. While this development of our guerrilla forces as a whole, led by women, constitutes the true representation of the free Kurdish identity, the bankruptcy of the collaborator-slave-traitor Kurdish identity and the rejection of our people’s honor is developing in the person of the KDP, which has no condition to hide itself in the face of this reality and emerges with all its ugliness. This war allows the truth to be revealed in all its dimensions, because in this war, the will of freedom becomes the truth-clarifying force. Revealing and clarifying the 5,000-year-old truth, which is the history of the distortion and concealment of the truth, is of course a historical action and the greatest achievement for humanity. In this sense, the victory of our freedom forces, which carried the tradition of August 15 to the present day with this resistance, on the basis of the freedom of women and peoples, has been finalized. Maybe the positions may change periodically, but the reality of freedom that has been expressed and clarified, strengthened with gains, the will of freedom that has emerged cannot be regressed or defeated. As we enter our 39th year, we celebrate its victory. Maybe the positions may change periodically, but the reality of freedom that has been expressed and clarified, strengthened with gains, the will of freedom that has emerged cannot be regressed or defeated. As we enter our 39th year, we celebrate its victory. Maybe the positions may change periodically, but the reality of freedom that has been expressed and clarified, strengthened with gains, the will of freedom that has emerged cannot be regressed or defeated. As we enter our 39th year, we celebrate its victory.
These resistances this year will be a great response to the AKP-MHP fascism, its collaborative treasonous KDP line, and to the international forces in their person. HPG and YJA Star commanders and fighters revealed a fact that the anti-system forces would be inspired by the striking and effective actions they developed against the fascist forces in line with the democratic modernity guerrilla, at a time when they said that guerrillaism is coming to an end today. In our 38 years of war practice, especially in the last ten years, our practice has revealed with concrete practices that the revolutionary people’s war guerrilla style, which is applied by overcoming the classical war style, can defeat even the enemy and the highest technologies.
VICTORY THAT FITS THIS HISTORY
With the historical leadership of Rêber Apo and the sacrifices of our great martyrs for which we will be eternally grateful, the great effort of the militants, the great advocacy and resistance of women, our people and the peoples, the fact of August 15th from 1984 to 2022 formed the tradition of struggle to bring freedom to these lands. has created a series of values structured with the individual steps of being able to build a free future with will. It is possible to be proud of this, to carry and represent this honor, of course, by assuring a victory worthy of this history. On this basis, with the correct representation of our freedom values, we turn our face to the free tomorrows that met with Rêber Apo, and we welcome the 39th anniversary with the spirit of August 15th and determination to succeed. Your Saras, Zîlans, Heavens, Gulans.
