The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) Executive Committee celebrated the 34th anniversary of the 15 August 1984 actions. 

"While entering the 35th freedom year we hope this will be the year of victory and our will to fight is stronger than ever”, said the PKK Executive Committee in a written message on the anniversary of the 15 August 1984 actions. 

"The spirit and direction shaped by the 15 August are more necessary than ever”, said the message."

In the message, the PKK underlined that “We, as movement and people, have been fighting uninterruptedly for freedom for thirty-four years following the inspiration of Leader Abdullah Öcalan. 

While entering the 35th freedom year, we hope this will be the year of victory and our will to fight is stronger than ever”. 

The statement then commended “our comrades, beginning with Leader Apo, our guerrilla forces, our patriotic people and the democratic people, and we wish them the best achievements in the thirty-fifth year of resistance. 

We commend the immortal commander of those actions, Agit (Mahsum Korkmaz), together with all the martyrs of freedom”. 

The statement continues: 

"First of all, we want to draw attention to the fact that this is a guerrilla force that has been fighting uninterruptedly for 34 years, representing a unique example in history. 

This is thanks to the determination of our patriotic people and comrades. We have fought in the name of freedom, democracy, patriotism and humanity in Kurdistan for thirty-four years thanks to those guerrilla actions on 15 August 1984. There are no libertarian and democratic gains and developments that have taken place in the last thirty-four years in Kurdistan, that do not owe to 15 August 1984 their very existence. 

The 15 August also initiated the women's freedom revolution and re-established Kurds as a democratic nation. Today, we are defending all humanity against DAESH (ISIS) and AKP-MHP fascism. The creative, acquisitive and protective power of the guerrilla has become clear. It is a fact that all the oppressed who struggle in a guerrilla style will surely win.

Undoubtedly, all this has been realized on the basis of the inspiring thought of freedom elaborated by Önder Abdullah Öcalan. 

Leader Öcalan also developed the Theory of Democratic Modernity and showed the way of freedom and liberation to all the oppressed peoples. 

Today, this doctrine is spreading throughout the Middle East and the world, combined with the attractive effect of guerrilla resistance. So the future will be the democratic modernity theory created by the 15 August actions.

As Leader Öcalan said, the 15 August was a revolutionary guerrilla action, fruit of belief and will. 

Even in the toughest and worst conditions, if a people decides to resist for freedom, it is proved that every difficulty will be overcome. 

The 15 August actions carried with them a revolutionary spirit, the spirit of victory, the spirit of Agit and Zilan. 

Our hero martyrs have shown the way of resistance and victory. This spirit and way, represented by the 15 August actions, are much more necessary than ever nowadays.

"SAME ENEMY"

The enemy is not different from the enemy thirty-four years ago. It is clear that the AKP-MHP fascism is based on the 12 September [1980] fascist-military regime and wants to restore the colonial-genocidal fascist dictatorship. 

The fascist-genocide mentality has not changed and it has unleashed a total war against the whole of Kurdistan. 

Just like thirty-four years ago, today we need the spirit of victory. 

Which is why we must mobilize against the AKP-MHP fascism.

We urge the Kurdistan liberation struggle to completely destroy the AKP-MHP fascism. 

This fight can be launched from every area, every social sectors, especially women's and youth's movements, democratic and political forces.

Guerrilla forces must be able to successfully deliver the correct answer to deal a blow to fascism. 

CALL TO YOUTH

These thirty-four years of war have been fought by guerrillas. Guerrilla is a young force. It is the youngest and most dynamic force.

Kurdish youth will be mobilized to enlarge and strengthen the guerrilla ranks.

What we have done for the past thirty-four years as movement and people is what we will do in the thirty-fifth year. 

We will liberate Kurdistan from the AKP-MHP fascism, we will be liberating Leader Apo so he can live and work as a free man, and thus illuminating the Middle East. 

It is on this basis that we are once again celebrating the 15 August guerrilla actions.

We call on all our people and friends, especially the youth and freedom guerrillas of Kurdistan, to honor our martyrs with respect and to develop our fight for freedom and democracy against the fascist-genocidal regime".
