Dozens of guerrillas gathered in the Zap region in the Medya Defense Zones for a Newroz celebration. The celebration organised by the Guerrilla Command in Zap Region began with a military ceremony.

Speaking at the ceremony, Alan Malazgirt, commander of the Zap region, stressed that the goal in the new year is to liberate Abdullah Öcalan. "To make 2021 an even greater year of struggle, we as HPG must respond effectively to the enemy's attacks on our people and fight even harder to break the isolation of Rêber Apo [Abdullah Öcalan]."

The ceremony was followed by an enthusiastic celebration, with the fighters dancing around the fire.
