A celebration was held in the village of Kaskan in Binarê Qendil to mark the anniversary of the 15 August Initiative.

In his speech at the celebration, Binarê Qendil Municipality co-mayor Serwin Celal said: "Martyr Egid took the Kurdish people's revolution to a new level with the first bullet he fired against the invading Turkish state, and the fire lit by that first bullet is still burning."

Celal added: “Today, the Kurds stand against the occupation in the four parts of Kurdistan with the spirit of 15 August. We will continue the struggle of Martyr Egid and all our martyrs until their dreams come true and Kurdistan is liberated.”

On behalf of the Patriotic Youth, Ramin Ahmed said, "As the Patriotic Youth in Binarê Qendil, we will continue our armed struggle."

The celebration, where 'Bijî Rêber Apo' and 'Jin, Jiyan Azadî' slogans were chanted frequently, ended with halay dances.
