The June 1 move has an important place and content in terms of our history of struggle and our reality of the guerrilla. There are some events, periods, people and moments in our history of struggle that have led to new beginnings, big steps and big decisions. Our Leader’s 50-year freedom march is full of countless examples of this. This 50-year history of relentless struggle, which Leader Apo says is out of breath, is the history of great decisions, great goals and great claims. However, such a style and concentration could have made great strides in the current Kurdish and Kurdistan reality. Establishing an organization and existing enemy attacks in the reality of this country where there is almost a grave silence where even a leaf does not move, It has been possible with our Leader’s aggressive and radical style to answer the massacres and witness the massacres and to enlarge the struggle even more. Leader Apo’s response style goes far beyond the classical style. In the face of every developing situation, event and martyrdom, it responded by magnifying the Leadership-style struggle.
The mood of our Leader when he made the determination that ‘Kurdistan is a colony’ and the quest he entered again, his decision to join a party after the martyrdom of your friend Haki in Antep, the women’s army after the line of action of H. Beritan, the establishment of ARGK in memory of Egit friend, just a few of them. is one. In this sense, existing realities are like an explosion of this accumulated process.
On this basis, if we want to understand the truth of the June 1 move, the importance of its content and the effects it created, first of all, it would be more accurate to know how this move process came about and to understand what the character of the move is. It will also be important to correctly understand our Leader’s style, which is always renewed and renewed.
On February 15, 1999, our Leadership was taken into the international Imrali torture system. By giving the Turkish genocide system a pawn role in this conspiracy process, imperialism wanted to be positioned stronger in the Middle East. In this respect, the biggest obstacle it faced was our Leadership and our freedom movement in the person of the Leader. It was taking 6 months.
Against the conspiracy, serhildans were developing under the leadership of the Apoist youth in four parts and in Europe, a circle of fire was drawn in the person of Xalıt Oral friends with the slogan “You Can’t Darken Our Sun.” It was emphasized that there could not be a life without a leader, and actions were taken out of anger and revenge against those who imposed this on our people and our movement. Especially the youth of Kurdistan clearly showed their stance and stance in this sense, and by following an unlimited line of action under the leadership of YCK in Bakure Kurdistan, what Leader Apo meant for the youth movement was shown. Thousands of young people joined the guerilla ranks in Rojava Kurdistan and led the serhildans in Rojhilat, Bashur and Europe.
In addition, the submissive line inside, leaning on the imperialist and primitive nationalist segments, they took this process as an opportunity for themselves and sought to sustain themselves above all the labor created by our Leader and our martyrs. Recklessly, on behalf of the Leader, they were trying to corrupt, distort and distort the party and the self-defeating line created by the Leader.
As the people and the movement, there was a process that was under intense attacks both outside and inside. This period, when the party line and measures were tried to be hit, where there was a very intense uncertainty, was like crossing the Sirat Bridge. The historical reality of Kurdistan was once again revealing itself with all its reality. On the one hand, the line of resistance, which was represented in the reality of the Leadership and the martyrs, on the other hand, the line of betrayal imposed on the party by the liquidators, came to the fore once again.
Leader Apo intervened in the period with superhuman efforts within the isolation and torture system of Imrali, and the rebuilding of the PKK and HPG in this sense came to the fore, and a process of purification, clarification and re-decision began. He embodied the new paradigm he laid the foundations of which he concentrated on, and by developing the ground for the struggle with the democratic, ecological, women’s libertarian society paradigm, he embodied the line of self-defense more, and in this sense, the ARGK system was switched to the HPG system.In essence, the Leadership Imrali did not take a step back from its historical duties and responsibilities in the isolation and torture system, and continued its search for truth by deepening the search for the truth.
During the conspiracy, the Leader wanted to give the chance for a democratic solution to the Turkish state fascism once again, therefore, upon the Leader’s call, the guerrilla forces moved to the southern area and a ceasefire was declared. The fascist system, which considers the leadership’s search for a solution as a weakness, killed many friends during the withdrawal process and imposed a total liquidation both internally and externally.
We can say that the thing that the liquidationist tendency wanted to do the most harm in this sense was to eliminate the will of the party power to fight. In order to achieve this goal, they had partial results by resorting to some methods with a thousand tricks and intrigues. In such a period, taking the decision of the June 1st move is like taking the decision of the will to fight, clarification, renewal, and meeting with the leadership line. That is why the 1 June move is also called the second 15th of August move. It has been proven once again and created a shock effect on the enemy by inflicting countless blows on the enemy under the leadership of the guerrilla. your enemy, Where others say it’s over and dead, we are born again and stronger and strike our biggest blows. This style is our Leader’s way of gaining wings from the edge of the abyss that permeates our dialectic of party and struggle. One of the greatest proofs of this style is our leadership’s glorious resistance in the Imrali torture system. Where even a sip of breath is difficult, Leader Apo has taken our struggle with the new paradigm to a higher level. A crucial example is the reality of the self-sacrificing line revealed in the person of Ş.Zilan. During this period in 96, when there was a tactical blockage and physical orientations to the Leadership, Ş.Zilan overcame the existing blockages with his Apoist thinking and concentration style, and became a goddess by bringing a new style and level of success to the struggle. .
With the June 1 breakthrough, the bullet fired at the enemy does not only have the characteristics of a bullet. Just as the bullet fired at the enemy with the 15 August action was essentially fired against slavery, submission and willlessness, the bullet fired in the June 1 breakthrough became the bullet fired against liquidationism, social reformism and defeatism. In this sense, this history is the name of being born and struggling with the spirit of the PKK, walking to victory. This is the name of watering the tree of freedom with blood again. In this sense, it is a stance against degeneracy, against non-struggle, against pacifism, a call to revolt is a renewal of the promise of revenge. It is the name of walking to victory by being renewed.
In this sense, June is the month of Apoist moves for our struggle. This reality is revealed before our eyes with all its nakedness, both in the Guerilla breakthrough on June 1 and in the action of Ş.Zilan in Dersim on June 30th.
The character of being an Apoist lies in being a mover. Those who do not catch the spirit of the time and the period cannot develop this, therefore, the current situation cannot be overcome, as a result, it is overcome and forgotten. This situation is hidden at the root of failure. Being unsuccessful means standing against the reality of the Leadership.
The reality of leadership and the PKK mean a whole success. What will ensure this is always questioning the past with the right way of concentration and getting rid of being a slave to habits. Revolutionism is the main response form. Seeing the existing opportunities correctly, creating opportunities and possibilities, locking oneself in success are the essential conditions of being a revolutionary and a mover. Every revolutionary should be a mover, that is, create, living with the existing is not revolutionism, it is slavery, and we represent a movement that rebels against slavery. Not being a mover will also mean a deviation, which is the biggest negligence. Especially the characteristics of being creative, aggressive and enterprising, which form the basis of youth identity, are like blood flowing in the veins. A youth identity and struggle that compromises on these features is doomed to die from blood loss.
The June 1st operation also created great morale among the people, the Guerrilla areas, which had been inactive for a long time, were mobilized again with Guerilla bullets and a great excitement was created. Propaganda that the Guerrilla, which the enemy tried to spread with special and psychological warfare methods, was over, and that there was no longer Guerrilla, collapsed. meeting, he experienced a reality like the meeting of the dry soil with water.
While the guerrilla was trying to resettle in the vacant areas, the enemy took advantage of this situation and targeted the guerrilla areas with extensive operations and wanted to intervene in this launched offensive process. In such a critical period, the youth movement mobilized with the human shield actions it initiated to nullify these tendencies of the enemy. Hundreds of young people who passed from universities to the Guerrilla areas also pioneered and became a bulwark for the Guerrilla. This situation not only enabled the guerrillas to carry out the infrastructure works comfortably, but also determined the role and mission of the youth movement better.
The ideological deviations experienced during the liquidation process were also tried to be applied on the youth struggle, albeit partially, and some results were obtained. The youth movement tried to overcome the attacks against our movement by concentrating around Leader Apo and the Guerrilla. In this sense, the most intense orientation is now on Leader Apo and Guerrilla. In this sense, the youth movement tried to respond with two moves in this process. The first one is Leader Apo, establishing a wide working network with the campaign is my political will, and started large signature campaigns to protect the Leadership line. This move became widespread in a short time and turned into a stance and found a great echo among the people and youth of Bakur. Another important move was directed towards the Guerrilla.
It is important to draw the following lessons from that period. Whenever the youth movement has deepened and practiced its concentration on the Leadership and Guerrilla line, it has taken the right lead and played its role. These two cornerstones of our party reality are almost like the qiblah of the youth movement. In this sense, it is our main responsibilities to concentrate and deepen ourselves in the reality of Leadership and Guerrilla.
In the context of the duties and responsibilities of the period, there is a need to renew ourselves, starting with the spirit of the mover on June 1st. Even the cleanest and simplest substance, namely water, stays in place for too long and is in danger of deteriorating if it does not renew itself, while this situation is more valid for the youth, which is a social segment. Leader Apo states that he makes a mentality revolution 40 times every day in the Imrali dungeon. And while the moment is being renewed, it is unthinkable for the Apoist youth movement to stay out of it. Self-renewal takes place through questioning. A youth that always questions itself in the face of the Apoist truth, that grows and spreads the essence of the war by starting it in itself, can respond to the period and achieve success, RENEWING WITH THE APOIST SPIRIT, WINNING THE WAR OF FREEDOM should be the main motto of the youth of the period. On this basis, Ş.Baran Mawa, Ş.Baz Mordem ,
Our history of struggle has proven this moment by moment with hundreds of examples that we have mentioned above and that we can reproduce. In this sense, our greatest support and guide will be our Leadership reality and the great heroes of our struggle history. On this basis, let’s treat every day as a new birth, let’s renew and guarantee victory with the Apoist style.
