A group of youths affiliated to the Marxist Leninist Communist Party (MLKP) have joined the ranks of Civilian Defense Units-YPS in Mardin's Nusaybin district where popular resistance against state's attacks endures with determination.

Speaking on behalf of MLKP youths, Cihan Saruhan said they saluted the Kurdish people's fight for self-rule, voicing support and participation to this struggle against colonialism.

Saruhan vowed that they will bring the ruling fascist dictator and perpetrators of Cizre massacre to book through the popular resistance mounted in Kurdish towns, adding; “We know that self-rule will bring freedom to the peoples of Turkey and the Middle East, and we believe the resistance behind barricades will break the rising wave of fascism in Kurdistan.”

Calling upon all peoples to step up the struggle against fascism at barricades, Saruhan said this was the only way to defeat fascism, adding; “Cizre victim Mehmet Tunç's last words 'We did not surrender but resisted' is an instruction to us. We have therefore come here to resist fascism by following this instruction. We will not surrender but will triumph over fascism through the fight we will be giving.”
