The human shield action launched in Qandil to protest the invasion attacks in Bashure Kurdistan is on its 12th day. People from Hewler’s Taqtaq and Sulaymaniyah’s Chamchamal districts visited the action today.

“PROPAGANDA FOR ELECTIONS”

One of the human shield activists who greeted the incoming delegations, Sirwan Raperîn spoke about the Turkish state’s invasion attacks. Sirwan Raperîn said these attacks are geared towards the whole of Kurdistan in general and pointed out that the threats of an operation against Qandil in particular are propaganda for the elections.

“HDP OVERCOMING THE THRESHOLD WILL BE A BLOW AGAINST THE FASCIST REGIME”

Raperîn said the elections in Turkey and Bashur (South Kurdistan) on June 24 will be determining the country’s fate and that if the HDP overcomes the threshold, the fascist regime Erdoğan built in Turkey will suffer a blow but if it doesn’t, the war and invasion will spread.

Raperîn spoke about the threats of invasion by the Turkish state against Qandil at the level of propaganda and said Saddam Hussein and the Iranian regime tried before, but failed. Raperîn stated that the mountains of Qandil are not places the invaders can take hold in.

“RESISTANCE WILL STOP THE INVASION”

Ömer Hacı Hüseyin spoke in the name of the delegation and saluted the human shield activists, stating that the human shield action has historic and social meaning. Hüseyin said the human shield action has created great morale among the Kurdish people and their allies as well and added: “This action is an answer to our enemies.”

Hüseyin stated that Qandil is the most important point of resistance against the invasion plans adorned with the Ottoman dreams of the Turkish state, and added that there have been countless attempts to invade Qandil but all were foiled every time.

Ömer Haci Hüseyin said: “The Kurdistan Freedom Struggle led by Leader Apo has become one with the mountains of Kurdistan, the mountains of Qandil with the guerilla and the methods of struggle. The philosophy of the freedom movement can lead all the peoples of the Middle East and offer them the project of new life. The people of Bashure Kurdistan and political circles are no strangers to the Leader and the leadership.”

PROTESTING THE SOUTHERN KURDISTAN GOVERNMENT

Hüseyin stated that the Kurdistan Regional Government is blinded and demanded that the government be rid of the historic blindness they are experiencing at once and take action for the unity of Kurdistan.

The statement concluded with chants of “Biji Serok Apo” and “Biji HPG”.
