In a written statement issued today Martyr Sema Koçer-Martyr Tekoşin Amanos Vengeance Unit said: "The AKP-MHP fascism attacks Kurds at every opportunity. Its political and military operations in all Kurdistan and Turkey's metropolitan areas continue uninterrupted.

However, the people of Kurdistan will not bow to the attacks and will step up resistance and act with a common spirit and consciousness for their own health and safety.

All revolutionary, left-socialist youth of Kurdistan should, on this historical occasion, punish collaborators of the AKP-MHP fascist regime and destroy every institution that provides economic support."

The statement continued: "The Vengeance Units will continue with our line of action that will frustrate the attacks of fascism."
