NEWS CENTER – PKK Executive Committee Member Murat Karayılan stated that an extraordinary situation was experienced with the addition of the ambiguity of the CPT’s statements to the fact that he had not heard from İmralı for 21 months, adding that his suspicions increased. Underlining the strategic importance of Leader Apo’s situation for the Kurdish Freedom Movement and its people, Karayılan emphasized that the Turkish state authorities should first of all consider the following fact and approach it more seriously: “If the Kurdish people are to have a common life with Turkey, this is the only bridge. Leader Apo. In this regard, it should not play on the basis of small accounts, should not make politics; this is a great danger. This is our warning. No one should take this as a threat. Everyone also knows that; At the highest level, there are thousands of people who are devoted to Leader Apo and his philosophy to death. Everyone should approach with caution and no one should be wrong about this. As a people and a movement, we cannot accept that we do not know what has happened on Imrali Island for 21 months.”
PKK Executive Committee Murat Karayılan answered questions on Stêrk TV’s ‘Special Program’. We share the full interview:
In the last period, the CPT delegation announced that they went to İmralı and held meetings there. However, the lawyers of Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan made a statement stating that there were no meetings in İmralı. What can you say about this?
This week’s information, statements and emerging issues point to a normal-non-ordinary situation in Imrali. First of all, we should point out that; isolation and psychological torture have been going on for 24 years. In the last 21 months, these have become much more rigid and we have not heard from our Leader. The available information is not satisfactory. There is no official information. No one on our side has reached the Leader and the other three friends there. For this reason, the information spread is not of a quality that we can believe. They are vague as they are not very formal anyway. This raises our suspicions.
Our anxiety is rising
As you mentioned, the CPT first said, “We went to Turkey, we toured the dungeons; We also went to Imrali and had a meeting,” he said. The first thing that is known about this issue is that İmralı was not included in the program of their visit to Turkey. Why does he suddenly change his programs and visit İmralı?
Another issue is that they said “we had a meeting” on the way back. This was understood as if they had a meeting with Leader Apo. Later, information emerged that Leader Apo did not agree to meet with the CPT. So if there is such a situation, why does the CPT not speak the truth and lie like a scandal? What is the CPT doing this scandal for? In short, all of these increase doubts and doubts in people. We have too much anxiety. We know that the pressure on our Leader has increased there. There are comings and goings; they are heard. Again, health delegations also have their own round-trips. This situation further increases our concerns regarding the health of Leader Apo. It is clear that it is not an ordinary situation, on the contrary, it is a serious situation. This is a very important issue. Everybody knows; The subject of Leader Apo is our people, It is the most important and strategic issue for our movement and many of our friends and stakeholders. First of all, this issue, namely Leader Apo’s situation, cannot be the material of small calculations such as the election. No one should approach it like that. Such an approach to Leader Apo and the Kurdish problem is not only a cheap approach, but whoever approaches it like this will turn against him.
Leader Apo is the only bridge between the Kurdish people and Turkey
If the Kurdish people are going to have a common life with Turkey, the only bridge to it will be Leader Apo. Everyone should know this. Leader Apo is also the architect of what would be a common, equal, free and peaceful life within the borders of Turkey. Turkish state officials should first of all consider this reality and approach it more seriously. This is a serious matter. Nobody should play on this issue on the basis of small calculations, make politics; this is a great danger. This is our warning. Nobody should take this as a threat, but everybody knows that; At the highest level, there are thousands of people who are devoted to Leader Apo and his philosophy to death. This is a vital thing and a very important issue. For this, everyone should approach carefully and no one should make mistakes in this regard.
We do not know what happened on Imrali Island for 21 months.
The current situation cannot be expressed with the word isolation alone. There is such a thing as being held in severe captivity. This situation is not in the law of any state, and there is no analogue of this practice. Today, the world has shrunk, telecommunication has developed, people at one end of the world can hear what is happening at the other end, but we, the people and the Movement, do not know what has happened on Imrali Island for 21 months. There is such a harsh and absolute isolation. The state or government carries out a policy according to itself there. This is unacceptable. We don’t want anything from anyone. We want Turkey’s laws to be acted accordingly, just as there are universal laws. Our people want this right now. For example, our people have been on the streets for 9-10 days. They are right, because this issue is very worrying. Everything should have a measure, law and morality.
Turkey built this dungeon with them.
Imrali also has an international side. We know that this dungeon was set up during the implementation of the International Conspiracy. After all, Leader Apo says that when he set foot in Imrali, he met a representative of the Council of Europe and told him that he would stay there and that they would make observations. So who is making the observation? They send the CPT attached to them. CPT, the Committee for the Prevention of Torture. Does he currently play such a role? No. The role it plays is the opposite of its name. It does not prevent torture, it paves the way for torture. It normalizes torture. According to many human rights institutions and the law, isolation is torture, and so is the CPT’s own records. Isolation is torture. The CPT is coming, seeing absolute isolation here for 21 months, and isolation is torture. Then why doesn’t he get ahead? As an attitude, instead of getting ahead, they normalizes and gives false information. “We’ll let you know after 6 months,” they say. What is it; such were the laws. They lie.
We searched; sometimes they made statements despite the states. There are many such examples. The issue is this; Turkey built this dungeon with them. Therefore, the responsibility here is the Council of Europe and the conspiratorial forces. They persist in their policy. What are their policies? It’s a conspiracy line. If Leader Apo did not want to meet with them, it means that Leader Apo did not meet because he said ‘you are on the line of conspiracy and you insist on the conspiracy’. If Leader Apo really did not sit with them, that is, if this information is correct, it shows that there is a serious situation there.
Change the line of your conspiracy policy on the Kurds
Whichever way we approach it, there is a serious situation, and it is worrisome. The relevant international powers, who referred this issue to Turkey, think that we are stupid. However, their policies cause the isolation in Imrali to become like this; to the war, to the development of massacres in Kurdistan; this causes the state to approach it in this way. They are terrorizing that much in Rojavayê Kurdistan right now. On the basis of this is the policy carried out in Imrali. This is the policy of genocide; It is a policy of denying the Kurds. International powers should not be partners in this policy. It’s enough! This is our call to them. Do not commit this unscrupulousness, this cruelty and this unlawfulness. Again, don’t pretend to be away from this situation. Don’t think we don’t understand. You also have a responsibility. If you don’t have a responsibility, what is the CPT doing there? What is he going there for? It takes this name and also plays a role in reverse! Undoubtedly, the CPT is an institution of the Council of Europe. In short, we have a call to the Council of Europe, the USA; Change the line of your conspiracy policy on the Kurds. It’s enough! The limit has now been exceeded. Also, the truth of the Kurdish people and Leader Apo has been proven in these past 24 years. The Kurdistan Freedom Movement is right and this is a fact. No matter how hard you came, you couldn’t get rid of it. You must accept this truth. This is our call to them. The Kurdistan Freedom Movement is right and this is a fact. No matter how hard you came, you couldn’t get rid of it. You must accept this truth. This is our call to them. The Kurdistan Freedom Movement is right and this is a fact. No matter how hard you came, you couldn’t get rid of it. You must accept this truth. This is our call to them.
What attitude should the democratic public and the Kurdish people take, and what are their responsibilities?
First of all, it should be noted that; We are in a really important period. Look; There is such an extraordinary situation in Imrali. The dosage of torture has increased and we have serious doubts. They use chemical weapons against our guerrillas every day. This weapon is internationally banned. Therefore, its use is a violation of international law. Again we look; Currently, there has been an unlimited attack on Rojava for 21 days. They attack infrastructure. Isn’t this a violation of human rights? A society lives there; he has an oven, he hits his oven; it has water, it hits its water. Is this acceptable? The Turkish state is doing this and everyone is watching.
Our people and everyone should know; this is a serious situation. We are going through an important period and at the same time we are facing a test. This is an exam. We must protect our leadership; we must take care of ourselves; we must uphold our values; We must oppose any violation of this law by any means. We must lift the burden and approach it responsibly; We must take risks. As patriots, we must protect our country, our Leader, and our truth in every square. He must do what is necessary. The Kurdish people are a reality. Leader Apo is a fact. The desire for freedom is a truth. The philosophy developed on the basis of women’s freedom is a truth; Look, it’s spreading all over the world today.
Leadership defends everyone’s cause
Much more organization, much more work, and much more will is required to protect this truth against falsehood, hypocrisy and injustice. Now, as the Movement and the people, we have to show this much more. We must really stand up for our duties against Leader Apo. If we say ‘you are our president’ and shout slogans like ‘Bijî Serok’, then we must protect our duties against Serok. Have we ever stood up for our duties? We fell short in this regard. We are in a self-critical situation. Our people should know this. The same is true for our people. For example, what are the pressures against Leader Apo for? It is for the Kurds. What exactly do they want from Leader Apo there? They want him to take a step back. For example, they probably want him to accept a solution within the framework of individual rights, but we are not one person; One solution within the framework of personal rights is denial. So we are not Kurds alone; We are Kurds as a society. We must have social-collective rights. We have the right to education, the right to have our identity recognized, the right to self-government. That’s what Leader Apo is defending, and because he’s defending it, they’ve been going for it for 24 years. The things that Leader Apo now faces torture for defending are what I, you, a villager, farmer, shopkeeper, everyone wants. The leadership is defending everyone’s cause there. They force him to accept it. ‘Individual rights are enough for you; accept and support us. If we accept this, the AKP will say, ‘I have already solved the problem’. This is why our Movement is resisting, our Leader is resisting, so much torture is being done, so many attacks are being made and chemicals are used for this.
We must lighten the burden of the leadership
Our people also need to take care of this issue. They should protect Leader Apo within this framework. If the Leadership hears that we say, “Leader Apo must be protected,” he would probably criticize it. To take care of Leader Apo is to take care of yourself; is to own your own struggle, your own identity. We must protect ourselves. Our people should protect themselves. He should not accept this. It has brought it as if it was derelict, has created isolation according to itself, the entire press is in the hands of the AKP, it distributes whatever information it wants, sends its delegations and presses without anyone’s knowledge. There’s obviously something dangerous out there. For this, our people should really take responsibility, take to the streets and show their strength. We believe in the power of the people. We trust ourselves and our people. We believe in the power of our friends. Our people are determined. Our people can do a lot if they take to the streets. We have a call to our people in this regard. We invite all our people, especially our European people. Our people living in Europe really work hard. He is on the streets every day. Only our people should know that; We are in extraordinary circumstances. In these 8 months, many guerrilla friends have not taken a bath, washed their faces, and are under chemical attack and bombardment day and night. So we are in such a period. If we don’t agree with it, don’t believe it, and don’t make sacrifices on that basis, no one can stand it. It is not easy. Our people should know; today, our youth, revolutionaries and our Leader are under a heavy burden. We must lighten the burden of leadership. Everyone should think of it that way. The entire burden of the 100-year-old Kurdish problem is on the Leader’s shoulders. On this basis, the enemy goes against the Leader and wants to make him take a step back. The leadership is also resisting with great will, patience and faith. It is a very meaningful and historical stance to stand alone against the psychological torture that develops every day in that atmosphere. For this, our people must make sacrifices and take to the streets. Yes; Although the European mass has been making some sacrifices so far, it should do more in this period.
Young people with a mission in the struggle, women should claim their duties
The people of Rojava are also on the streets to a significant extent; Again, our Eastern people are on the streets every day and are under a certain burden. There, our people follow a distinctive line with other peoples of Iran. In the North, our people should take to the streets. For example, now in the North, political and official institutions call our people to gather by giving a date. This is a good thing. It’s something really valuable and we have respect. They believe it and they do it. Everyone should do what they believe in. So, is everyone who does this a PKK member? No, but the state sees it that way. In other words, HDP for both Rojava and the North, etc. He has such an understanding for parties as well. No. Leader Apo is the leader of a society. It represents a case. Not everyone who sets out for Leader Apo is a PKK member. We do not only make our call to PKK supporters anyway; we do it for everyone. Every Kurd should stand up for this cause. Leader Apo’s stance is for the rights and interests of the nation. The imposition and acceptance of our identity as a society and demanding the rights of our people is a national stance and is very important. It is a national and historical issue. That’s why we call everyone. All religious groups, non-political circles, villagers, city dwellers, especially young people, women and workers who have a mission in this struggle should protect their duties.
It should start from the streets, not from the centers
These should not be done with a formal approach only. Here, official institutions are calling for ‘gathering in such and such places’; the state also hears this; There is an antichrist who is already a special war chief. He holds all the roads before the people go to that place and gathers more police than the protesters. This is an altruistic stance that should be respected. Of course, these methods should also be struggled with, but patriots, women, youth and those who stated that they are working on serhildan should start this work from the streets. Has anyone in Rojhilat got permission to go out now? People are on the streets every day. Are there no patriots who can defend each other on the streets of Amed today? It should not be forgotten that; this exit will start from the streets, not by formally gathering people in the centers of cities. Of course, the other method is also a method and we have respect, but the main method should be the popular methods. The people should take to the streets and take to the squares with their initiative and will. In this way, serhildan movements are required. Patriots and youth should aim for this and focus on it. Our call to everyone is within this framework.
As long as there is isolation, there will be war.
Another issue is; The Turkish state’s approach to Imrali and the fact that the isolation against Leader Apo is not only a matter of Kurds. This issue is also Turkey’s issue. As long as there is isolation, there will be war. As long as there is war, there will be hunger. The entire economy is going to war. They are currently discussing the economy. Turkey spends all of its economy on war. For this reason, the peoples of Turkey are in poverty today. Here they state themselves; they say each bomb costs 1.2 million dollars. So how many of these bombs do they drop a day? They shoot thousands of howitzers a day, which they call 5 thousand dollars each. It’s raining all the time. Here are all of these. In short, the Imrali problem is of great concern to both a worker and a tradesman from Turkey. It even concerns the bourgeoisie. That’s one side.
Our people should not leave the streets unless they bring direct information from the Leader.
On the other hand, as long as this unlawful and unlawful policy exists in Imrali, law and law will not prevail in Turkey. In other words, democracy does not come to Turkey. Then this issue is also a question of democracy; it is a matter of freedom; It is a matter of democratization of Turkey. Then all real opponents from Turkey, especially the left-socialist and democratic sections, should oppose it. It is true; This is a question of the freedom of the Kurds, but also of the freedom and democracy of the peoples of Turkey. In connection with this, it is also a matter of the peoples of the region. The project carried out by the leadership in the region today concerns all the peoples of the region. He still wants to democratize Turkey. If Turkey is democratized and this fascist wave is broken, the Arab people will also be saved from oppression, our Assyrian-Syriac people will also be saved, and everyone will be saved. This is what we call everyone. We call on our people, Kurdistan patriots, democratic forces, all Kurdistan circles whether they are supporters or not, democrats and workers from Turkey, and all progressive humanity, who are also pro-democracy and peace-loving people, to oppose this genocidal policy, conspiratorial politics and the politics that allowed this torture to continue in Imrali. These practices, which have come to a point where people can no longer bear, must be overcome in this period. In particular, there are serious doubts and concerns about what is happening there now. Our people should not leave the streets unless the lawyers or the family go and get direct information from the Leadership. We must continue our actions, whether at home or abroad, and carry out our mass struggle. We call on all Kurdistani circles, Turkish democrats and workers, whether they are supporters or not, and all progressive humanity, who are also pro-democracy and peace-loving people, to oppose this genocidal policy, conspiratorial politics and the politics that allowed this torture to continue in Imrali. These practices, which have come to a point where people can no longer bear, must be overcome in this period. In particular, there are serious doubts and concerns about what is happening there now.

We must continue our actions, whether at home or abroad, and carry out our mass struggle. We call on you to oppose the conspiratorial politics and the politics that allowed this torture to continue in Imrali.
As the militants of the Movement and the students of Leader Apo, we know that our burden is much heavier. I don’t need to go into detail here, but we must also fulfill our duties and lighten the burden on Leader Apo. This is our comradely duty. In short, we must make an effort in this regard and stand up for our duties in the face of the reality of Leader Apo and our martyrs. It is our duty; It is the duty of patriots and all democratic sectors. This is our call to all Kurdish patriots and democrats from Turkey; This extraordinary issue should be dealt with and everyone should have a stance on it. Raise the struggle for freedom and democracy; We must aim for Leader Apo’s freedom. The solution lies not only in the removal of the isolation, but also in the freedom of the Leader. On this basis, we call to raise the struggle.
The Turkish state has been attacking North-East Syria since November 19th. What is the purpose of these attacks and what attitude should the peoples have towards it?
The concept of the Turkish state is to eliminate all the gains of the Kurdish people and to make the genocide policy dominant in Kurdistan. In this context, Rojava does not want Kurds and North-East Syria to have an autonomous administration. He sees this as a danger to himself and wants to eliminate it. They have an approach in this context. One side is like that. The other side is about elections. The state wants to occupy the borders of the National Pact. There is a project on this subject, but the AKP-MHP government, on the one hand, wants to carry out this concept, on the other hand, it wants to strengthen fascism and nationalism in order to get votes in the elections. So both accounts exist. For this, they first wanted to come to Medya Defense Zones, that is, Southern Kurdistan, to get results. However, it became clear that they would not be able to write a victory and success story in Zap.
He wants to get the Kurds out of Rojava
Of course, there is no single election account. There are also elimination accounts. The Turkish state does not want to abolish the Autonomous Administration in this regard either. It is true; There is this, but it also wants to remove the Kurds from Rojavayê Kurdistan. In short, he wants to take all of Rojava from the hands of the Kurds and make them all like Afrin. For example, are there Kurds in Afrin right now? There are about 20 percent, but they have also enslaved them, kidnapping them for ransom every day, oppressing them and confiscating their property. Now they count it as having taken it from the Kurds. So are Serêkaniyê and Girê Spi.
Arabs and Assyrian-Assyrians are also targets
Not only the Kurds; Arabs and Assyrian-Syriacs are also targets. They want to place their own agents, the Arabs, there. Organizations such as Al Nusra and ISIS and their families are settled here. For example, now they have expelled democratic and patriotic Arabs from Girê Spî. Yes, they are against the Kurds and they want to take Rojavayê Kurdistan out of the hands of the Kurds, but they are replacing them with Arab and Turkmen collaborators. Otherwise, they are already targeting Arabs who are patriotic and do not cooperate with them. For this, there is an attack against all the peoples of North-East Syria, and their plans in this regard are rooted. For example, Erdogan states that they want to create a buffer zone in an area of 30 km. If they enter up to 30 km, Rojava will disappear anyway. In other words, the border of Rojava is only up to there. Such a policy
This policy is for all Kurds
The following should also be known in this regard; True, this attack is aimed at Rojava and North-East Syria, but this policy is aimed at all Kurds. If they succeed there, they will no longer leave Kurds in other places. This is a target. So they no longer leave autonomy anywhere; They no longer recognize the Kurdish identity. For this reason, we should not see the attacks against Rojavayê Kurdistan as only directed against Rojava; are attacks against the entire Kurdistan reality. We need to see it this way and not leave Rojavayê Kurdistan alone. We must support Rojava by all means. Maybe there are those who call themselves the Kurdish party and act together with Turkey. Let them be with Turkey. Good luck to them, but the patriots in all four parts must be united and stand behind the resistance of Rojava and North-Right Syria.
They see autonomy as a threat
Now, for example, when we make such calls, we immediately say, ‘Look, they have a relationship; they say, ‘they are the same. They approach as if there is an organic bond and the people there are PKK members. This is not true. That is Rojava. It is not correct to see everyone who accepts Leader Apo’s views as if they are PKK members. This is a fact. Leader Apo is a national leader; He is the leader of the peoples, he has a paradigm, he is the leader of democratic modernity. It appeals to a very wide spectrum. For this reason, it is not correct to count everyone who loves Leader Apo directly in an organic system. There is no such thing, but every part of Kurdistan must and does have a relationship with each other. We will support it to the end. By this I do not mean just one party or sector; We treat it as a nation. We must protect ourselves; We must protect our nation. If Afrin, Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî are occupied today, not only the Kurds there, but all Kurds should be hurt by this, and they should do whatever they can to save these places again. This does not mean that they are all one organization. They are not one organization, but one nation. When approached within this framework, the Kurdish question is undoubtedly unique. For this reason, everyone should stand against these attacks of the Turkish state. We should know that these attacks are comprehensive and we should see that these regions are wanted to be taken out of the hands of the Kurds. No Kurd should accept this situation. Whoever has a sense of patriotism should not sit comfortably at home, but should do whatever he can. This attack is an attack against all Kurds. All the statements behind the scenes of the Turkish state that “I am doing these things against the PKK” are lies. These are justifications. It is true; There are attacks against the PKK, but there are also attacks on the entire Kurdish society. Was a single bullet fired from Afrin to Turkey? No. There is no such thing, but they see danger. What danger do they see? They see autonomy as a threat. In other words, they see the Kurdish status as a danger for themselves. It’s not because no one attacked. No one has attacked them anyway; this is a lie. The statements “I am doing these things against the PKK” are all lies. These are justifications. It is true; There are attacks against the PKK, but there are also attacks on the entire Kurdish society. Was a single bullet fired from Afrin to Turkey? No. There is no such thing, but they see danger. What danger do they see? They see autonomy as a threat. In other words, they see the Kurdish status as a danger for themselves. It’s not because no one attacked. No one has attacked them anyway; this is a lie. The statements “I am doing these things against the PKK” are all lies. These are justifications.

No one has attacked them anyway; this is a lie. In other words, they see the Kurdish status as a danger for themselves. It’s not because no one attacked. No one has attacked them anyway; this is a lie.
With the tactics of the period, we can defend the free lands against the most modern weapons of the period.
I would like to point out one more thing here; With the Garê attack last year, the enemy wanted to invade Southern Kurdistan by starting from the areas where the guerrilla was located, and then as a second move, to invade Southern Kurdistan, but could not achieve this despite their efforts for two years. Although he used all kinds of weapons, benefited from the most modern weapons of the age, used prohibited weapons and brought his most elite forces to Avaşîn, Zap and Metina, he could not succeed. This is a result. It is a will for the entire Kurdish people. In this war, it was seen that; A small force can defend a free land with the right tactics even without heavy weapons. In the last two years, this result has become clear. In other words, it can be stated that our greatest achievement is to prove the accuracy of this tactical method. With the tactics of the period, we can defend the free lands against the most modern weapons of the period. This is a great experience. Undoubtedly, it emerged with the resistance of the heroes. It has developed with the heroism of hundreds of martyrs. It has not been easy, but it is a very important experience. As I mentioned before, Rojava can also benefit from this, and oppressed peoples and powers with liberated lands all over the world can defend themselves against technology. The resistance that developed in Avaşîn, Zap and Metîna is an example of this. It has been seen that we can protect free lands. Our people of North-East Syria and all the peoples of the region can win if they organize themselves resolutely in the underground and surface war within the framework of the Revolutionary People’s War. In other words, what happened in Serêkaniyê and Afrin will not happen again. Above all, our people should trust themselves. The power of the people is too great. The presence of the people on the battlefield is very important. Then he must trust his organization. Undoubtedly, the organization should prepare itself well. In particular, the pioneers must be determined and believe in tactics. If they get deep in this, they can win. Now the important thing in this matter is to believe in yourself, in your power and in the method. Because it is the people and only the people can get results in the face of the noise and technique made by the states. This must be believed. Because it is the people and only the people can get results in the face of the noise and technique made by the states. This must be believed. Because it is the people and only the people can get results in the face of the noise and technique made by the states. This must be believed.
We weighed them here
Many people still ask, “Will there be an attack on Rojava?” form of discussion. The attacks had already begun on 19 November. Is it obligatory to attack from land? Now it hits with planes, it hits with cannons, it hits infrastructure, it hits furnaces, it hits water, it hits oil, it hits hospitals, it hits schools, it hits everything. He wants to kidnap the people and not leave life there. It lays the groundwork for the policy of genocide even before it arrives. This shows their intention. They want to get all the people out of there and bring their own people there. They will bring ISIS members and those with the same mentality there. Then they will impose themselves on Syria and they will establish their sovereignty over Syria by making changes in Syria in line with their interests. They have such a purpose. Despite this, our people are still standing. He did not emigrate by not getting excited about the apocalypse and attacks that they caused so much. This is a good thing; We certainly appreciate our people. If an attack develops from the ground, we believe that if the same attitude is shown, the enemy will not get any results. We weighed them here. We know how much they weigh. They don’t even have a single soldier to fight hand to hand. We do not indicate this from afar; We are talking about the battlefields. They are fighting the air force and also using forbidden weapons. Of course, I am not saying that it is zero from the land, but if you show will, it cannot move forward. There may be cases of using Kurdish and Arab gangs in this regard, but if the right methods are applied, they can also be defeated.

Diplomacy should be public
There must also be strong diplomacy. Diplomacy is not a reliance on some states. No. To raise the public. In other words, diplomacy should be directed towards the public. Of course, it is good to develop relations with states as well; the more support the better, but there should be no reliance on anyone. You should lean on yourself. You must believe in your own strength and trust the friendship of peoples. When the people take action, they can have an impact on their states and create a great pressure against the aggressors. In other words, we know that if our people in Rojava and North-East Syria are confident and believe in their own strength, if they follow the military line correctly and apply diplomacy within the framework of the Third Line, the success will be our people.
We believe that our people will resist and win there.
I would like to point out one more thing; It is clear that the Autonomous Administration needs to defend itself in order to have a will in North-East Syria. If it cannot defend itself, it cannot reach a solution with Syria. Syria said, “You need me; here Turkey will come and shoot you; I do not give you any rights”. For this, our patriotic people and the Arab, Assyrian-Assyrian and Kurdish peoples must understand this. During this period, they need to make themselves willpower. If they make themselves a will, Syria will have to accept them, the USA will accept them, Russia will accept them; all states will accept them. The way to do this is resistance. To resist is to live. This slogan of Comrade Mazlum Doğan is valid for everyone today. There is freedom in resistance.
