Guerrillas Egîd Nûda and Arjin Destan Bakûr, who are fighting against the invasion attacks carried out by the Turkish state, emphasized that they will defeat the enemy in Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna in the spirit of the 14 July resistance.
HPG-YJA Star guerrillas Egîd Nûda and Arjin Destan Bakûr spoke to ANF on the anniversary of the 14 July 1982 Great Death Fast Action.
Noting that the Kurdish people continued to exist thanks to the 14 July resistance, the guerrillas said that they will defend their people as the hunger strikers did before them.
The guerrillas said the following:
Guerrilla Egîd Nûda: Today is the anniversary of the 14 July resistance in Diyarbakır prison. I respectfully commemorate thousands of our friends who fell as martyrs in the person of Mazlum, Hayri, Ferhat, Kemal and Ali Çiçek. Before the start of the resistance process, a military coup had taken place in Turkey and in North Kurdistan in 1980. That military coup affected the whole of Kurdistan and especially our freedom movement.
Our leading comrades were captured during that coup. Our comrades, who were thrown into Diyarbakır prison, started a great resistance against the persecution and torture there. The enemy wanted to silence our friends, but it did not succeed. Our comrades put up a relentless resistance against inhuman tortures, oppression and oppression, and sacrificed themselves for their Leader and people.
When we look at today, we can see that there is a great resistance in Turkish prisons and especially in Bakur. The isolation against Rêber Apo is getting heavier. Rêber Apo's resistance against the isolation has reached its highest level. Rêber Apo's resistance gives us morale and strength. Isolation and oppression have spread to all prisons.
The support of our people is also very important. Our people must increase their resistance even more.
The guerrillas are waging a great struggle in the Media Defense Areas. The invading Turkish state, which has increased its attacks, is hitting the resistance of the guerrillas in every field. This resistance by the guerrillas leaves the enemy's dreams of the new Ottoman Empire a dream. Today, in Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna, guerrillas are struggling in the spirit of July 14 resistance. On this occasion, I commemorate all our comrades who fell as martyrs in prisons and mountains, and bow respectfully before their memories.
Our aim is defeating the enemy
Guerrilla Arjin Destan Bakur: 14 July is a very important and meaningful day for us. If it weren't for this day we wouldn't be here today or we wouldn't be this big. That's a fact. Such a big action was really not easy to carry out.
The Great Death Fast Action is an action that had a great impact on everyone. The enemy was making savage attacks on our comrades. There was great torture against both our friends, our people and the militia. The 14 July hunger strikers showed a great will against that repression. With this action, they raised the Kurdish people. We will always follow the footsteps of our great martyrs and achieve their goals.
At that time, in the 80s, the enemy wanted to destroy the PKK, but our friends showed great resistance in the prisons and gave the necessary answer to the enemy. Our comrades resisted in a self-sacrificing spirit so that the Turkish state would not achieve its goal. It was a sacrifice for the future of the Kurdish people. Thanks to our friends, the Kurdish people continue to exist. The influence of the 14 July martyrs in the current development of the struggle is enormous. We will further increase our struggle to liberate Rêber Apo. The goal of every friend is to defeat the enemy and liberate Rêber Apo. The spirit of the 14 July resistance grows even more in Zap, Metîna and Avaşîn.
