“The revolutionary struggle will be crowned with victory in 2018”

HPG and YJA star guerrillas celebrated the 40th year of the PKK with the new year and stated that 2018 will be the year of victory in the line of Delal Amed.

Guerillas Beritan Rojava and Seyid Rıza Sülbüs said they will be marching to victory with the relentless resistance in Kurdistan.

Beritan Rojava: The PKK resistance grows every day. The leaders of this resistance are the young women and all the youth. The PKK continues with the saga of resistance on its 40th year. In the new year, the youth and women will march under the lead of the PKK and PAJK, towards victory while avenging Delal Amed, Berçem Cilo, Gülnaz Ege, Aze Malazgirt and others. This line of resistance will determine the spirit of the new year.

The PKK has brought Arabs, Syriacs, Turkmens and other peoples together in the struggle for democratic socialism and democratic nation on a joint platform on the basis of equality, justice and freedom. Peoples and faiths have come together around the PKK. This naturally means the organized struggle of the peoples prevailing in the equation of the Middle East.

With the epic resistance of the guerrilla in Bakur (Northern Kurdistan), the revolutionary spirit in Rojava and the great bonfire of resistance created by the people’s serhildans in Bashur (Southern Kurdistan), the struggle will increase and the enemy will be hit until Leader Apo’s freedom is ensured.

"2018 WILL BE THE YEAR OF FREEDOM"

Seyid Rıza Sülbüs: The PKK displayed a great and unmatched resistance in 2017 against colonialist forces. I celebrate 2018 and the 40th year of the PKK for Leader Apo and all the peoples of the Middle East. Have no doubt that in 2018 there will be a resistance that surpasses the previous year. Colonialism will be ripped out of Kurdistan with all its institutions.

The new year in this sense is pregnant with important developments. We will increase our struggle for Leader Apo’s freedom and a new, free life. PKK will pave the way for the Middle Eastern revolution with the struggle it puts forth and it will smash the regressive, slaving nation state system and make the democratic nation reign.

The revolutionary struggle in Kurdistan will be crowned with victory and 2018 will be made into the year of freedom. In this context, I wish a happy new year of freedom for all oppressed peoples and humanity.
