BEHDINAN – The 14 July Great Death Fast Resistance is the embodiment of the ideological-philosophical stance that Leader Apo shaped by intensifying from the very beginning. The society of Kurdistan was destroyed in every sense by the ruthless genocidal practices and policies and turned into a society in death throes. Reviving, reinvigorating, reinvigorating this debilitated society, which was brought to the last stage of being finished, could only be under the leadership of leaders who marched with great self-sacrifice, who faced all kinds of difficulties with self-sacrifice and great courage.
Leader Apo, who saw this well in his first steps and made a correct determination, developed and deepened his first group concentrations and training on this axis. Undoubtedly, he took a step by developing it himself. In this sense, the first person to act with the sense of self-sacrifice in our movement is Leader Apo himself. The core staff took shape on the basis of our leadership’s stance, feeding this spirit to the group, and deepening the concentration on this axis.
JULY 14 RESISTANCE PRESENTS A VICTORY STANCE
The partisanship process of the Apoist movement, which developed its ideological concentration and struggle within this framework, which is at the forefront of the sense of sacrifice, attitude and stance, developed on this basis. Starting from Xaki Karer; Carried to the dungeon with Comrade Mazlum Doğan, who unhesitatingly performed the act of self-sacrifice under the most difficult conditions; This is the reality expressed by the stance of Ferhat Kurtay, Mahmut Zengin, Eşref Anyık and Necmi Öner, who, without hesitation, burned their bodies in those brutal difficult conditions. After the action of Ferhat, Hayri Durmuş, who had the opportunity to meet on his way to the court, asked Comrade Kemal Pir, “What should we do, Kemal?” Kemal Pir friend’s reply, “We must shed our blood, our blood,” is a sharp expression of this self-sacrificing-spiritual stance. In this respect, the 14 July Great Death Fast resistance, it is a historical resistance; The Apoist movement is the highest stage that sets the line in sacrificing. It is a stance that reveals how the stance of victory should be in an environment where impossibilities prevail even in the most difficult conditions. It is revealing how to find a way out in an environment of impossibilities and how to create victory with high will and sacrifice.
The glorious stance, based on the spirit of self-sacrificing, demonstrated throughout the process from the Xaki’s to the Oppressed and the July 14 resistance, actually heralded the victory of the PKK and showed the path to success. The perspective of how this movement will turn the difficulty into success and how it will ensure success in the face of all kinds of obstacles and difficulties has been put forward in a concrete way in this process.
It is known that Comrades Xeyri, Kemal and Mazlum are the comrades who support Leader Apo the most with their practice and participation in the struggle they waged abroad. Despite having done the greatest service in practice, these pioneering comrades made a self-critical approach during the dungeon process and turned to the dungeon resistance. In his speech at the court, Comrade Xeyri said, “I fought for the national liberation struggle of the people of Kurdistan in the ranks of liberation. I had no personal expectations or calculations. Since I couldn’t do more, write the tombstone because this man owed money to his people” . Comrade Kemal Pir, who said to the judge, “You have formed the people’s army,” in the court statement,“We wanted very much to establish the People’s Liberation Army of Kurdistan, but we failed to do so; If we had established the people’s army, we would have fewer numbers here, but our voice would be louder.” These words are not only the truths expressed by these pioneering comrades, but also the most sincere self-criticism of the Leader, the people and the struggle. In fact, on the basis of an approach on this axis, they again offered the greatest support to the Leader with these historical actions they took in the Amed Dungeon, which was a great fortress of persecution. In an environment where many obstacles were removed in front of returning to the country and the development of the struggle in those difficult conditions, and various liquidationist understandings were rife, this cry and this historical exit from the Amed Dungeon is the most powerful and important exit that strengthens the hand of Leader Apo and the revolutionaries who are waging the struggle.
THE MOST PRIMARY POWER SUPPLEMENT WAS THE DUNGEON RESISTANCE AGAINST 12 SEPTEMBER
By 1982, the 12 September Military-Fascist Junta had established its dominance in all of Turkey and Kurdistan, creating a dead silence from one end of the country to the other. In such an environment, it was not possible to steer towards the country, especially to the mountains that no one knew, knew, or lived in until then, without being a bouncer, without experiencing the feeling of self-sacrifice at the highest level. As a matter of fact, we know that many people who have weakness in this regard pour out in different ways. However, the cry of the Amed Dungeon Resistance, the biggest source of strength for our movement to achieve this, was the self-sacrificing spirit demonstrated by the 14 July resistance. This spirit is conveyed to all cadres and sympathizers, “While those comrades are sacrificing themselves by death fasts in the most difficult conditions, as their comrades abroad, we must face all kinds of difficulties, fight against all kinds of difficulties, and put our lives on the line if necessary. In this sense, the Amed Dungeon Resistance, which started with the oppressed, rose with the Ferhats and culminated with the 14 July resistance, has been the main source of power.
The foundation for the establishment of the guerrilla and the development of the guerrilla movement in Kurdistan has been this spirit of resistance in which Leader Apo was shaped. Until that time, it was not easy for the cadres who had studied school, lived in cities, had little knowledge of rural-mountainous life, had no experience and had never known different areas of the country such as Botan and Garzan, to direct them to these places, and to return them with maps and compass. It’s easy to say now; Now there are guerrilla footprints all over Kurdistan and the society is recognized, but then there was no such thing. Neither the mountains nor the society were known. The majority of the cadres lived in the known cities and metropolises of Kurdistan, and as a movement that waged struggle, to open up to Botan, to settle in Garzan and the inner lines of Kurdistan, to get to know our people there, to establish relations; mountains, land, Getting to know the country was not an ordinary thing in those difficult conditions. Only a community of people with a very high sense of self-sacrifice and focused on the goal with great faith and love could do this. The ideological preparation efforts of the Leader and the Amed Dungeon Resistance Spirit laid the foundation for this. The Amed Dungeon Spirit of Resistance paved the way for overcoming difficulties and developing solutions even in the most difficult conditions; “how can we overcome difficulties; How can we make the impossible possible with a high will and determination” perspective. Therefore, this reality is at the basis of the return to the country and the glorious 15 August Campaign, which was developed under the leadership of our valiant commanders Egîd’s, Erdal’s, Bedran’s, Glasses Alis, Emin Taştans and Sarı Ömers. Only a community of people with a very high sense of self-sacrifice and focused on the goal with great faith and love could do this. The ideological preparation efforts of the Leader and the Amed Dungeon Resistance Spirit laid the foundation for this.

The ideological preparation efforts of the Leader and the Amed Dungeon Resistance Spirit laid the foundation for this.
The 15 August Move is also a move that has been practiced with a great sacrifice spirit. There is no other explanation for the fact that the Eruh Gendarmerie Station was taken in one and a half minutes. Attacking such a place without hesitation and seizing it in a short time is something that can only be achieved with great courage, fearlessness and self-sacrifice. It is possible to say that this spirit of resistance and aggression has gradually become a style in the guerrilla, which is the basic spirit of departure in the face of all the difficulties that the guerrilla struggle has come to face. To the extent that a whole guerrilla concentrated on this axis, it overcame the difficulties and paved the way for the will to endure and succeed.
THE 2 FACTORS OF THE GUERILLA’S INVINCIBILITY: FEASTIAN SPIRIT AND TACTICAL CREATIVITY
Of course, mere self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice are not enough in the guerrilla. In addition, tactical creativity is an indispensable and necessary factor. In addition to the spirit of the bouncer, the guerrilla also developed and played a role to the extent that tactical creativity and leadership were developed. This spiritual stance turned into a style-tactic in ’96 in the person of Comrade Zîlan (Zeynep Kınacı), the sacrifice of Comrade Bêrîtan (Gülnaz Karataş) and many more militants when we came to the ’90s. In the face of the fact of the International Conspiracy that developed against our Leader, this spirit, which we also consider as Egidization and Zîlanization, “You Can’t Darken Our Sun!” Turning itself into a fireball with its motto, taking on a character that rises in the dungeons and outside, has also been crowned with the transformation of this spirit and tactical understanding into the establishment of the organization of the bodyguards.
It is a fact that when we look at the development history of the guerrilla in Kurdistan, only natural conditions and no resistance and stance have been developed against the attacks of hostile forces supported by global capital. The guerrilla has always had a stance and resistance in the face of all situations where domestic betrayal, the Kurdish collaborator-treasonist line united with the enemy and many attacks were developed, and again when the International Conspiracy carried out major attacks. The main pillar of the guerrilla, which responds to all the difficulties encountered in every period with great sacrifice and heroism, is the Apoist ideological spiritual stance and comradeship; There has been a high level of self-sacrifice, courage and determination stemming from the Apoist bouncer stance. However, the ground for this stance of determination and self-sacrifice was formulated by the 14 July resistance. To sum up, This spirit of resistance has been the main source of strength and power, which has become the source of strength and the main support of the guerrilla in the face of all difficulties in every period, and which has been able to overcome unbelievable difficulties. The Apoist ideal of sacrifice took shape in this way and became the main source of power for the guerrilla. However, we have another well-known fact in our history of struggle: Our movement has never experienced serious difficulties due to the attacks developed by the hegemonic and colonialist-genocidal forces with the support of Kurdish collaborators. The difficulties experienced were the problems of the line that emerged due to the role of tactical leadership and the problems created by internal liquidationism. In particular, the fact that the tactical leadership did not play the role and could not adequately take care of its duties caused great destructions.
In this respect, the guerrilla’s survival and ability to resist all kinds of difficulties actually have two basic factors: One is the spirit of sacrifice, and the second is tactical creativity. As those who follow closely know, there have been periods in which various liquidationist tendencies gained weight, taking advantage of the vacuum created by the inability to develop tactical creativity sufficiently and the inability of tactical leadership to respond to problems in some important stages of our history. However, the guerrilla is a structure that has managed to survive against liquidationist-out-of-line understandings and to embrace the leadership line thanks to the Apoist self-sacrificing spirit, self-sacrifice and determination despite all that has happened.
Undoubtedly, the main strength of the guerrilla in the face of such internal and external difficulties is its strong will, which is formed by the Apoist ideology, philosophy and the sense of self-sacrifice it creates. Again, this is the libertarian line developed by the will. It is possible to easily say that the libertarian lifestyle and sense of comradeship, the spirit of solidarity and willpower created on the axis of the Women’s Freedom Line, in fact, reinforce the invincibility of the Apoist guerrilla. It is certain that the free woman’s stance has an important place in this.
IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO DEFEAT ISIS IF THE GUERILLA DID NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF RESISTANCE
As it is known, there has been a period in which organizations such as Al-Qaeda and then ISIS emerged in the Middle East. The most distinctive aspect of ISIS is that it facilitates death for people on the basis of the story it has developed. It is known that he develops a great sense of self-sacrifice in people whom he convinces that he will go to heaven when he dies. Therefore, in 2014, ISIS became a great power in a very short time. So much so that it has become a major threat not only for the Middle East but for the whole world. At that time, no organization or state power could show the strength to stand against the attacks of ISIS. ISIS has absolutely captured every place it attacked. Because no one who saw Da’ish as a community of people who were not afraid of death and marched on death could not stand against this power.
It is not a coincidence that a single Apoist movement can stand against the attack of such a structure, first on Shengal and then on Kobanê. Only the Apoist self-sacrificing spirit could stand against their attack dosages. The great resistance of Berxwedans, Dilgeş, Armancs and Gencos with the intervention in Shengal first; and then, thanks to the great sacrifice resistance of hundreds of heroes symbolized in the person of Arîn Mîrkans and Gelhats in Kobanê, the scourge of ISIS was eliminated. If it were not for this great spirit of resistance, it would not have been possible to stand against ISIS in any way and to defeat ISIS.
Here they are, etc. When all the victories are taken into account, it becomes clear how the spirit of the 14th of July sacrifice played a decisive role throughout the history of the guerrilla’s development.
ZAP RESISTANCE IS THE SUMMIT OF THE JULY 14 SPIRIT
Recently, the Turkish state’s support of NATO, cooperation of the KDP and Iraq, etc. It is known that on the basis of neutralization and silence of some forces, it has developed a great wave of attacks aimed at the elimination of the Medya Defense Areas and then the destruction of all the gains of the people of Kurdistan. On the basis of this concept, in recent years, a plan to get results by directly turning to Medya Defense Areas has been implemented. According to this plan, it was aimed to seize the Central Headquarters area with a surprise attack on the Garê area, which was the center of the guerrilla, in February 2021, even in the middle of winter. Şoreş Beytüşşebap, Cûdî, Bawer, Erdal, in the Siyanê Tunnel in the face of the attacks launched to seize an area that is so strategic for our struggle. The resistance developed under the leadership of Argeş and Avareş comrades, with the magnificent stance of Sara Goyis, Fermans, Rojhats, Xeyrîs and Seyfis, who participated in it with a team war from the outside, gave a selfless response to this great concept of the Turkish state and its first step was defeated. After that, by April 2021, the Turkish state launched a large wave of attacks across a wider range from the Northern border. Since then, the Turkish state has been making an intense effort to seize the Avaşîn, Zap and Metîna lines and to completely drive the guerrilla out of there. By April 2021, the Turkish state launched a large wave of attacks across a wider range, from the Northern border. Since then, the Turkish state has been making an intense effort to seize the Avaşîn, Zap and Metîna lines and to completely drive the guerrilla out of there. By April 2021, the Turkish state launched a large wave of attacks across a wider range, from the Northern border. Since then, the Turkish state has been making an intense effort to seize the Avaşîn, Zap and Metîna lines and to completely drive the guerrilla out of there.
Throughout this process, massive attacks were made on the basis of the support of the KDP, the approval of international forces to use prohibited weapons, and the inclusion of Iraq in this process. Hundreds of thousands of bombardments have been made against this area for almost two and a half years, and all kinds of chemicals have been tested. Thermobaric bombs were used; Phosphorus bomb was dropped and lastly, the tactical nuclear bomb, which is only in the inventory of NATO member countries and can only be used with NATO’s approval, was used against our forces in Zap, Avaşîn and Metina. It is obvious that the Turkish state did not get any results in these attacks, in which all kinds of advanced technology of the age were used. There is no doubt that the main source of power behind this success of the guerrilla is Serhat, Botan, Zinarîn, Cumali, Çavrê, starting from Şoreş Beytüşşebap in 2021.
Various comrades evaluated the Zap resistance as the culmination of the spirit of July 14th. In fact, it is very accurate to define the level that has developed in the guerrilla today as the peak of the spirit of July 14th. Of course, not only in Zap, but also in all the provinces of Northern Kurdistan. For example, the great resistance of Leyla Sorxwîns, Yaşar Botans, Hêjar Zozans, Canşêr Rojhilats and Xemgîn Serhats in just the last year are the most striking examples of this. Therefore, it is possible to define the level that a guerrilla has reached today on the spirit of July 14 as a summit level.
THE JULY 14 LINE WILL ALSO BE THE CREATOR OF THE GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE FUTURE
It is not possible for the guerrilla to resist all the destructive weapons created by the international capital forces of capitalist modernity, which uses all the blessings of the science and technology developing in our age, in lethal weapons, only with self-sacrifice and self-sacrificing spirit. The spirit of sacrifice, or in other words, the spirit of July 14, is indispensable in the face of these great attacks, and the most fundamental basis for this is the Apoist creative philosophical perspective, the spirit of libertarian comradeship and its stance. However, without a tactical opening and without the development of creativity and innovation, the guerrilla would not be able to withstand the attacks with the most modern, lethal weapons of the age and would face destruction. Therefore, one of the most fundamental achievements of the guerrilla, especially in the last 3 years, is to increase the sense of sacrifice and stance; The second is that it succeeds in tactical expansion. Developing guerrilla specialization within the framework of the Reconstruction Project; the development of a smaller but more skilled-more combative, punchy specialized team combat style to replace the old crowd troops; There is also a deepening of the tactical opening in three main points in the form of the development of underground warfare. The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, which concentrated on these three main circles tactically and made a substantial expansion in this regard, revealed the current level by integrating the self-sacrificing spirit and tactical expansion required by Leader Apo with creativity, to the extent that Leader Apo concentrated on the perspective of the Revolutionary People’s War.
Of course, this does not mean that everything ended successfully. First of all, it is known that the war continues. However, in the first round, the genocidal Turkish state and army were left inconclusive, despite all their alliances, internal and external support, and the banned weapons and technological facilities they used. This is a fact. The second round continues. Of course, considering the situation of the guerrilla gaining more experience and deepening in the tactical opening, as well as the wear, erosion and crisis situation on the other side, it is obvious that the enemy will lose the second round as well.
Of course, while stating these, it is not possible to claim that the guerrilla is perfect. Indeed, the guerrilla army has increased the Apoist self-deprecation to a certain level on the axis of 14 July. In fact, it is not possible to talk about an inadequacy in this regard. However, the inadequacy is still in question in the tactical ring. There are cases that have not been completed yet; Again, there are habits that cannot be overcome yet, that pull the process back, and classic guerrilla characteristics. It is not possible to say that the classical guerrilla has been surpassed in all its dimensions. There are also inadequacies and errors caused by this. But the important thing is that the basic ring is caught correctly. It can be said that this has also been achieved.
It is a fact that the resistance developed by the guerrilla against genocidalism and fascism in the struggle carried out by the guerrilla against both the people of Kurdistan and the peoples of Turkey and the region has revealed important results not only for the people of Kurdistan but also for the peoples of the region. Based on these results, it is certain that the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla will also play an important role in the upcoming period as the representative of democracy and freedoms against fascism. The Apoist self-sacrificing spirit, the 14th of July line, on which he is based, clearly shows that he will not only make the guerrilla invincible, but also be the creator of the great successes of the future.
