Guerrillas of the People's Defense Forces (HPG) and the Free Women's Troops (YJA Star) are continuing to celebrate Kurdish New Year, Newroz.

The 2022 Newroz celebration in the Xakurke region in Medya Defense Zones kicked off with a military ceremony. HPG and YJA Star guerrillas lit a Newroz fire and danced around it.

The fighters congratulated Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan and the Kurdish people on the Newroz Festival. They also made evaluations about the importance of Newroz.

The fighters stressed that they are already prepared against the attacks of the Turkish state.

“We salute Newroz and the resistance of all our comrades from Xakurkê to Zap province. As YJA Star and HPG guerrillas, we are ready to fight under any circumstances. This Newroz will lead to the physical freedom of Öcalan and political prisoners.”
