Guerrillas in Rojhilat call for support of new Öcalan campaign

Guerrillas called on women and youth in four parts of Kurdistan to embrace the campaign strongly.

East Kurdistan guerrillas called on everyone to support the campaign to kick off on 12 September for Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan.

Speaking in the Kurdish dialect Kelhporî, guerrilla Diyako Kelhûr said: "The isolation on Leader Apo [Abdullah Öcalan] is an isolation against humanity, but at the same time it is an isolation against the truth and the peoples of Eastern Kurdistan."

Guerrilla Kelhûr from Kirmasan called on women and youth in four parts of Kurdistan to embrace the campaign strongly.

YRK guerrilla Diyako Lûr, speaking in the Lûrî dialect of the people of Loristan, demanded that the campaign be supported and said: "The people of Loristan should support Leader Apo because Leader Apo represents the people's struggle for freedom."

The Sorani, Kurmanji, Hewramî, Kelh Hewrî, Goranî, Cafî, Lekî, Erdelanî and Lûrî dialects are all spoken in Eastern Kurdistan. The language has a rich structure and many dialects. The PJAK ranks are also made up of guerrillas speaking all these dialects.
