Dr. Mazlum Dersim: Turkish is the invader and will be expelled from our land

HPG commander Dr. Mazlum Dersim said that the Kurds are in their own land and the Turkish state is the invader and added that it will be the Turkish state to leave.

HPG commander Dr. Mazlum Dersim drew attention to the level of the PKK's revolutionary struggle and the will formed by the paradigm of Kurdish people's leader Öcalan, and underlined that “the Turkish state has been saying ‘it's over/we will finish the guerrillas’ for years now. The PKK, on ​​the other hand, is growing and will grow even more.”

Dr. Mazlum Dersim spoke to ANF of the importance of the 15 August Initiative for the Kurds. “The fascist colonialist Turkish state could not accept the Kurds. As well as dividing the Kurds into four parts, they wanted to destroy everything Kurdish. The Turkish state resorted to every dirty way to destroy Kurds. Against this, a tremendous resistance developed in the prisons. The 15 August Initiative was launched under the leadership of Commander Egîd to highlight the prison resistance. 15 August prevented extinction.”

The PKK is growing

Dr. Mazlum Dersim continued: “The PKK's struggle for revolution has reached a great peak today. A great will was formed thanks to the paradigm of Leader Öcalan. The PKK is growing day by day and will grow even more. Everyone should know this. Leader Öcalan's ideology has spread all over the world."

Kurds are in their land

Commander Dersim said that “the Kurds own these lands and no one has the right to expel them. We have not invaded anyone's land. It is the Turkish state that occupies these lands. Therefore, it is the Turkish state that will go from these lands. We will fight until we drive them out of the lands of Kurdistan. The whole world should know this."

Stating that the Turkish state committed crimes against humanity through a dirty and brutal war, Dr. Dersim added: “The Turkish state only think of occupation and plunder. The government sends soldiers to their death. A soldier is of no value to it.

With the spirit of resistance in Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna, I salute the anniversary of the 15 August Initiative and the National Resurrection Day of the Kurdish people. We will not stop until victory.”
