The Kurdish Freedom Movement PKK is entering its celebrating the 42nd years since its foundation on 27 November.

HPG and YJA Star guerrillas commented on the 42nd anniversary of the PKK. The guerrillas said that the PKK is the party of martyrs and drew attention to the fact that the PKK has reached this stage as a result of the struggle waged by Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan.

HPG guerrilla Rizgar Welat said that a new life began for the people of Kurdistan after the establishment of the PKK on 27 November 1978. "Today the PKK has turned into a world movement. Everyone knows how difficult processes and times the party went through until today. It was thanks to the efforts and resistance of our martyrs, our patriotic people and our friends in prison, and it was the achievement of President Öcalan."

The PKK is an internationalist party

Guerrilla Welat, who drew attention to the 42-year history of the PKK's struggle, emphasized that participation in the PKK is increasing by the day. Guerrilla Welat added that the PKK has become more known and attracted attention in the world especially after the Rojava revolution and the struggle in Shengal and the South, and said that there are people joining from Persian, Arab, Turkish and many other nations.

Guerilla Welat added that many valuable movements emerged before the PKK, "but the PKK has shown its difference with the struggle it has been waging for years. The PKK emerged in Bakur [North Kurdistan], but organized itself in every part of Kurdistan. It made all the values ​​of the Kurds a part of the struggle. It created a national leader. Movements before the PKK were organized either in a part or in a region. But the PKK focused on the national issue, treated the differences in Kurdistan as a wealth and favoured the birth of a national spirit."

We are not just about armed struggle, we are also about education

Emphasizing that the PKK has a place in the heart of every Kurd, Evîndar Zagros from YJA Star said that they are ready to defend the territory of Kurdistan as PKK guerrillas.

Reminding that the PKK is a known movement not only in Kurdistan but in the world today, Zagros continued: "The PKK grew thanks to our heroic martyrs. The freedom movement, which was established with a few people, has reached millions today. The growth of the PKK also means that the ideas of Rêber Apo [President Öcalan] are spreading around the world.”

Guerrilla Zagros said: “We are not people who love war, but the PKK is fighting everywhere for the right to defend the Kurdish people today. We do not only fight with weapons, we attach great importance to education. The unity of the Kurds is very important; we are fighting for this as well. That is why the PKK is the people, and the people are the PKK. We will surely succeed thanks to the PKK struggle."

We will succeed!

Stating that the PKK is a hope for the oppressed peoples, guerrilla Jiyan Rojevin said: "The PKK has come to this day with resistance and revenge.

The PKK is a national movement, it is fighting not only for a part or a region, but for the whole Kurdistan. The struggle of the PKK will continue until the Kurds are liberated. Everyone knows how and why we live. We will continue our struggle and we will finally achieve success."
