BEHDİNAN – Komalên Ciwan Coordination Member Özgür Şerker, in a speech to our agency, evaluated the youth resistance that developed from Newroz to April 4, and the unbreakable bond between the youth and Leader Apo. Calling on the left socialist and international youth, especially the Şerker Kurdish youth:
This year’s Newroz took place in an important mansion and the struggle we are in. Undoubtedly, the 2023 Newroz made a sound from all over Kurdistan. Important results came to the fore. Therefore, we can say that; As a result, the Newroz of 2023 embraced the legacy of the Newroz of Resistance. Those sparks, which became traditional and burned in the person of Heval Mazlum Doğan, have become more intense until today. In the struggle, there was never any falling back or slowing down. As the enemy’s attacks increased, there were areas to respond to the enemy in Newroz. On this basis, we experienced this meaning in every Newroz.
But 2023 Newroz brought out more colors than ever before. More than ever, he brought out his combative personality. Important messages were given to friends and foes alike. In these messages, the spirit of resistance came to the fore the most. We need to see this. Indeed, Newroz 2023 was majestic in every way. It created great enthusiasm and morale. We felt this enthusiasm ourselves. We believe that the young people of Kurdistan participated with this enthusiasm and as a result, they left their mark on these Newroz celebrations. Because of this; It was thanks to the martyrs that Newroz became so traditional. Our greatest martyr, Mazlum Doğan, ignited the Newroz fire, raised it and created this legacy. Until recently, there were great martyrs of Newroz. Especially in the person of Veysi Taş and Mehmet Akar, the Newroz fever grew. In the person of these friends, we commemorate the Newroz martyrs once again and bow respectfully in front of their memories.
We will always follow the trace created in the person of martyrs. This Newroz also showed that the Newroz fire raised by the martyrs will always rise even higher. We can also say the following for this year’s Newroz; 2023 Newroz was held with the colors of the youth in every aspect. 2023 Newroz revealed its youth identity. Young people from all over Kurdistan had great participation. Hundreds of thousands of young people flocked to the Newroz grounds. They created Newroz exactly with their own colours, stances and spirits. For this reason, especially the young people left their mark on the Newroz of 2023. They showed their strength with this color. The spirit created in the youth was clearly seen with this Newroz reflection. There was great fear and panic among the enemy.
On this basis, as APOCU Youth, we would like to greet the youth of Kurdistan who voluntarily participated in this Newroz. Young people especially participated in the Newroz celebrations in Qoser, Elîh, Nisebîn and Cizîr, the hometowns of the struggle, in Amed, the heart of Kurdistan, and in this year’s 4 parts of Kurdistan with the spirit of Ali Çiçek and Mazlum Doğans.
They showed the strength they got from Leader APO in the Newroz areas. We saw the following in the Newroz areas; No matter what the enemy does, no matter how many obstacles he creates, no matter how hard and hard the pressures are, no one can stand in the way of the youth of Kurdistan. Nothing can be a formidable obstacle to the APOIST Youth. The 2023 Newroz showed us how devoted the youth are to his Leader, how much they miss Leader APO, and how much they love Leader APO. What stood out in the Newroz areas in the person of young people was the following; No matter what the enemy does, they cannot cut the ties between the youth and Leader APO. Bijî Serok APO slogans were shouted everywhere. The physical freedom of Leader APO was shouted everywhere.
The Newroz areas became the center of the freedom of Leader APO and Kurdistan. We, too, felt deeply that the APOIST and insurgent Kurdistan youth, with their stances and aims, are ready to wage the war that will lead to victory against the enemy more than ever before. The Newroz grounds became the place of such a miracle.
We felt this spirit from the Newroz areas that if the young people deal with this spirit in an organized way, if they gather around Leader APO more, if they feel their own strength, they can ensure the physical freedom of Leader APO. Newroz was the indicator of this. Newroz became the demonstrator of such struggle. We believe that especially the young people of Kurdistan will be aware of their role and mission in the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle. With the spirit of Newroz, the spirit of Rehşan, Mazlum Doğans, Kemall Korkut, they will increase their struggle from now on. They will join the fight in the spirit of victory everywhere in the struggle. With this spirit, we will break the enemy’s barriers between Leader APO and the youth, and the obstacles standing in the way of Leader APO’s physical freedom, this year.
It is with great pleasure that we greet Leader APO’s birthday. On this basis, we celebrate Leader APO’s birthday, April 4, especially to all Kurdistan youth. Undoubtedly, Leader APO’s birth is our birth. It is the birth of Kurdistan youth. The Newroz areas also clearly showed that nothing, no power can come between Leader APO and the youth. The 2023 Newroz showed that the youth of Kurdistan once again increased their commitment to Leader APO. More powerful than ever. No matter how much the enemy wants to slow down these feelings of the youth, how much he wants to reduce this commitment, although he wants to put different barriers between Leader APO and the youth, he cannot prevent it. It cannot end these quests, loves, longings of young people and their great longing for Leader APO.
Leader APO may be far from us, Imrali may be in the torture and isolation system, but Leader APO allowed many people’s youth to recreate themselves with his knowledge. That is why the birth of Leader APO has a very different meaning for the youth of Kurdistan. Neither the enemy can notice it, nor can we define it ourselves. Your slogan of Ciwan Fedaiye Rêber APO did not come out by itself. Within the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle, this slogan became the compass of the struggle. With this slogan, young people became aware of themselves. He continued to struggle with this slogan.
Today, in the person of the youth, the flag of the struggle rises in the person of the APOCU Youth. For this reason, the birth of Leader APO is the birth of the youth of Kurdistan. The birth of Leader APO is the birth of youth. The birth of Leader APO is the creation of a people’s freedom. In the person of Leader APO, we can say in every way that the young people became aware of themselves. A new identity was created. Today, this struggle develops in this spirit.
The leadership said that I will never let youth pass me by. I stop time myself. I won’t let me grow old “I will keep myself alive and young for you young people,” he said. This reality is also experienced at the highest level in our struggle today. This is the reason why young people’s commitment to Leader APO has increased more than ever. Young people always strengthen their struggle with their young Leader Leader APO. We saw this in the Newroz areas and on April 4th.
The power created in the Newroz of 2023 became a bridge between April 4 and connecting these two values. The resistance that took place in the person of the youth was to reach the summit. Young people continue their struggle with the power they get from Leader APO. The birth of Leader APO is mostly considered as a birth for young people. Young people also find their birth mostly in the birth of Leader APO.
In the Struggle for 2023, every young Leader APO’s birth should make more sense. It should not be treated as just a biological birth. Undoubtedly, Leader APO has been fighting on this basis for 50 years. He renews himself every day, every day he tries to create a new idea in himself, to keep the struggle alive and young on this basis. This is true for us young people. Therefore, let’s continue our struggle with this philosophy in the next fight.
Let’s renew ourselves, like Leader APO, in the struggle against the fascist Turkish state regime, in our own lives, in our struggle, more than in any period, and let’s create this birth in 2023 as a new struggle on the way to victory, a new path and a new birth.
As it is known, the attacks against Leader APO never stopped. The invading and genocidal Turkish State has always wanted to start the center of its occupation policies in Imrali. This is still true today. Our 50-year struggle has undoubtedly faced difficult and difficult times. Just as Leader APO is the center and source of this struggle, today our struggle continues in Imrali in the person of Leader APO. For this reason, the enemy wants to carry out a policy of taking revenge and to carry out their attacks against Leader APO. There has been an uninterrupted isolation in the person of Leader APO for 25 years. There is no precedent for this isolation in the world. The enemy no longer left a word to describe the isolation. With each passing day, they intensified this isolation, brought it to the top, and it continues today. Because Leader APO is not taking a step back. Because Leader APO does not stop the fighting personality of the Turkish state against the genocide policy. Because Leader APO persistently wants to walk the line of success until the end. This stance, the spirit, also causes the enemy’s attacks to increase in this responsible spirit. Therefore, more than ever, we must fulfill our duties and responsibilities as the youth of Kurdistan on the isolation policy of the enemy.
If the young people showed their duty in this period in the Newroz areas, as on April 4, and just as they wanted to reflect the fighting spirit of Leader APO on the Newroz areas, at the same time, they did not take a step back against the attacks of the enemy, how they turned these areas into areas of accountability, how they showed their ambition today. They should see their Kurdistani duties and responsibilities against the reality of ‘Imrali’ and the isolation system in Imrali.
The isolation on Leader APO is mostly the isolation on the youth of Kurdistan. If young people from Kurdistan look at isolation from this perspective, they can break this isolation. If the young people of Kurdistan should see this power that emerged in Newroz, this unlimited energy, which reaches millions in number and has an infinite potential in terms of power. If they organize this power more, they can end this isolation. Because Leader APO is being held captive on the ground of the Turkish State. Especially young people from Bakure Kurdistan should be more assertive in this situation.
It is not possible to treat the fragmentation of isolation as one piece. Leader APO has already shattered this isolation with his stance and paradigm against all the sanctions of the invading Turkish State. The enemy wanted to put Leader APO between four walls in every way. Leader wanted to cut off APO from the world. The enemy wanted no one to think about Leader APO, and to live without Leader APO, to keep this kind of politics alive. Because Leader APO is not just the Freedom Leader for the youth of Kurdistan today. It has not only been a source of struggle and resistance for the youth of Kurdistan. Today, Leader APO has been the source of the struggle of the youth of the world, both for the youth of Kurdistan and for the youth of the entire Middle East, at the same time. Today, the youth of the whole world embrace Leader APO’s ideology. They see this ideology as a hope of success for themselves. They see the bloodsucker as a solution against Capitalist Modernity. They get strength, they stand up with that power, and they struggle with this power by walking. With this power, they create the belief in themselves to create the world revolution. This is an indication that Leader APO broke this isolation. In 2023, let’s completely break up the youth of Kurdistan from both sides, not only against the isolation, but by opposing these sanctions and politics of the enemy. Not just isolation, let’s not even leave the shadow of isolation. Let’s see Leader APO physically inside us. Let’s not shout the freedom of the Leader with our slogans anymore. We now want to live freely with Leader APO. Let’s live a free life with Leader APO. The time has come for Leader APO to be physically liberated. For this reason, in the struggle to be continued this year, more roles and missions are left to the youth than ever before. More than anyone else, the youth of Kurdistan should feel Leader APO. Fill your heart with Leader APO. Enrich your memory with Önder APO’s ideas and philosophy. Just as we make sense of April 4 by planting saplings, just as we reveal the beauty of the world with greenery and treat it as a symbol, let’s cultivate Leader APO’s ideas and philosophy in our hearts and memories. In this way, let’s thwart the policy of isolation and at the same time make 2023 the year of victory.
On this basis, great responsibilities fall on the shoulders of the youth of Kurdistan. Undoubtedly, not only the youth of Kurdistan, but also the youth of Kurdish, Arab, Persian and the whole Middle East, as well as internationalist youth should know well that; The roles and missions they will play in this year’s struggle are unique and unparalleled.
The occupying and genocidal regime has faced destruction in every aspect. Although great costs have been paid for this cause and great suffering has been experienced, the enemy is experiencing a great blockage as a result of this resistance and struggle. He has arrived at the demolition mansion.
Therefore, the youth of Kurdistan should not deal with this process casually. The responsibilities of this year’s struggle should undoubtedly be based on victory from start to finish. In the main aim of our struggle, all the prices that have been given so far were for victory. The time has come for Leader APO to achieve his physical freedom. For this reason, we, as young people from Kurdistan, are in a new mansion as the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle.
Just as the young people of Kurdistan have recently joined the struggle with the slogan of “Werin Cenga Azadiyê”, the resistance in the 4 parts of Kurdistan, they turned their direction to the mountains of Kurdistan, they fought heroically, they took place in the front lines heroically, they organized themselves, they trained themselves with the knowledge of Leader APO. At the same time, they were at the forefront against the attacks of the fascist regime. How are we living in a new mansion today?
On this basis, as Apoist Youth, we insist on the following decision; We will achieve victory by raising the costs of this year’s struggle and the struggle we have reached this stage.
As Apoist Youth, our decision is as follows; from now on, let’s achieve the duties and responsibilities of the youth’s struggle with the slogan “Cenga Azadiyê Serbixînîn”. Let’s achieve victory through resistance by playing the leading role in the struggle that exists this year.
We are closer to victory than any period. The Newroz squares also showed this. He has shown this in the struggle that has been given so far. At the same time, Leader APO’s 25 years of uninterrupted struggle deserves this more than ever. We must be able to carry out the struggle of the youth with a new move from now on. That’s why we call on all young people. Let’s put ourselves in the ranks of the struggle according to this move, in the cities of the city, at the top of the mountains of free Kurdistan, in the 4 parts of Kurdistan, especially in every country of the world.
Let’s support Leader APO more than ever before. Let’s crown our struggle with victory. As Apoist Youth, we call on all Kurdistan youth, socialist and all internationalist youth to gather around the “Cenga Azadiyê Serbixînîn” move. Concretize your revolutionary tasks in this period with victory. Let us make this year the year of victory with the resistance and struggle of the pioneering youth. Let’s get rid of the scourge of fascism. Let’s give freedom to our people.
