The Executive Committee of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) released a statement on the latest developments in Kurdistan territory.

PKK congratulated everyone on occasion of 27 November, the anniversary of the 1978 founding congress held by Abdullah Öcalan and his companions in the village of Fis, in the Lice district of Amed (Diyarbakır). PKK remembered with respect and gratitude the martyrs of November in the person of PKK Executive Committee Member, HPG and YJA-Star Central Headquarters and Botan Field Commander Delal Amed, YJA-Star Commander Azê Malazgirt and HPG Command Council Member and immortal commander of the 2012 Şemdinli resistance, Reşit Serdar. PKK reiterated their promise to achieve the goals of the martyrs and to keep their memories alive in the struggle for Free Kurdistan.

On this basis, PKK called on the Kurdish people and their friends, youth and women in the first place, in four parts of Kurdistan and abroad to celebrate the 42nd founding anniversary of the PKK with great enthusiasm everywhere they are, and to turn every place into an area of freedom struggle. In this scope, PKK called on everyone to enhance and spread the campaign launched by the Kurdish movement under the motto ‘End Isolation, Fascism and Occupation; Time for Freedom”.

INTENSE MILITARY AND POLITICAL STRUGGLE IN ALL AREAS

The PKK statement includes the following;

“As the Kurdish movement and people, the founding month of the party is witnessing a very intense political and military struggle in all areas and political developments. Before anything else, our patriotic people and revolutionary-democratic friends oppose the continuation of the Imrali torture and isolation system and they demand immediate physical freedom for Leader Öcalan. Even those who built the Imrali torture and isolation system cannot sustain it anymore and there is a call for the annulment of this system, as is seen in the CPT report and the PACE resolution. On this occasion, we call upon those concerned to reclaim their resolutions and make sure they are implemented, and we call on all those for freedom and democracy to expand the struggle for Öcalan’s freedom.

TURKISH GOVERNMENT TRIES TO EXPORT FASCIST TERROR

We in the PKK have always stated this clearly; the current AKP-MHP fascist government is no different from ISIS, FSA and al-Qaeda. It is indeed the AKP-MHP alliance that supplies and guides them. This alliance, on one hand, is trying to establish a fascist-genocidal gang zone in the middle of Kurdistan from Idlib to Derik, from Shengal to Heftanin and Xakurke and committing a Kurdish genocide with the fascist gangs whom it gathers from the four corners of the world and trains and organises here. On the other hand, it tries to export fascist terror to Europe and all other parts of the world.

What is happening today in Nagorno-Karabakh, Austria, Libya, France, Afghanistan, Europe and Canada is proving this truth. For this very reason, we call on everyone who call themselves anti-fascist and democratic, all organizations, states and parties to understand the APK-MHP reality correctly and to take a clearer stand against this invading and genocidal power which uses fascist terror as a method of politics.

TURKEY-KDP RELATIONSHIP IS PROBLEMATIC AND HARMFUL

The economic, political and military relations of the current KDP administration with the AKP-MHP dictatorship, which does not only commit a genocide in Kurdistan but also threatens the whole humanity with fascist terror, are problematic and harmful for everyone as much as they are for the Kurds. This relationship veils the occupier, genocidal and massacrist face of the Turkish state, as well as its face that threatens everyone with fascist terror. Our party’s call to end such a relationship and to improve relations on the basis of Kurdish national-democratic existence, are met by the current KDP administration negatively while its relationship with the Turkish state continues deepening.

Moreover, the KDP continues deploying troops to guerrilla zones, as was the case in Zînî Wertê in spring, and collaborating with the Turkish army against the guerrilla. The increasing military activity around Garê after Xakurkê and Heftanin, also manifests this evidently. So much so that this situation has evolved into a provocation that serves the enemies of the Kurds and democracy.

HUNDREDS OF GUERRILLAS MARTYRED WITH KDP INTELLIGENCE

The KCK Executive Council Co-presidency has expressed in detail what political stand should be taken against the mentioned provocative act of the KDP administration. The HPG Central Headquarters Command also provides constant information for our people and democratic public opinion on the ongoing military activity. These express the opinion and stance of our Freedom Movement adequately. Our Movement appreciates and attaches importance to the reactions voiced by the Kurdish people democratic public opinion and national-democratic Kurdish parties, organisations and individuals, particularly the KNK. On this basis, our Movement stands behind its word to do its part in this regard.

However, it should also be known well that hundreds of freedom fighters have been martyred in the attacks carried out by the Turkish army with intelligence provided directly or indirectly by the KDP. It is not possible for any Kurd with conscience to accept this. No one should dare try the PKK’s power nor do a wrong calculation like ‘PKK is weakened’. It is not those sitting in palaces but the will and support of the Kurdish people to determine where in Kurdistan the PKK will be in existence. PKK is a movement that gives importance to love and respect, yet it must be known that PKK respects its addressees as much as it gets respect from them. The latest developments have shown once again that the fight against colonialist-genocidal mindset is not separated from the fight against collaboration and betrayal. Our party calls on all consistent Kurdish patriots to get united on such a national-democratic line and to adopt a stand and struggle.”
