YJA Star and HPG guerrillas spoke about the approaching birthday of Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan. The guerrillas emphasized that 4 April is a very important and meaningful date and added that they will fight for Öcalan's physical freedom to the end. YJA Star and HPG guerrillas' comments are as follows:

Ruken Cudi: First of all, happy 4 April to all Kurdish people, all oppressed peoples and comrades in prisons. Since its birth, the Leader has demonstrated how to live freely with his practices.

He showed us all how the struggle for freedom should be fought. The war that still continues is for the establishment of a free life and the physical freedom of the leadership. As YJA Star guerrillas, we will fight to the end to fulfil the role given to us by the leadership and to ensure the physical freedom of Rêber Apo [President Öcalan]. Happy 4 April, the birthday of Rêber Apo to all peoples.

Rojda Şeval: 4 April is a very important and meaningful day for us. Happy birthday to Rêber Apo.

The birth of the leadership created an awakening in all peoples. So it is a very meaningful day. We must protect the efforts of the leadership, especially for women. As YJA Star guerrillas, we will play our part in 2021 and ensure a stronger participation.

'RÊBER APO IS BORN AS A SUN IN THE MIDDLE EAST'

Haydar Garzan: We cannot consider 4 April as an ordinary birthday. Rêber Apo's birthday is the birthday of the peoples of the Middle East, especially the Kurdish people. The Leader awakened the Kurdish people from a thousand-year torpor and make them raise to their feet.

The Kurdish people made many revolutions in the Middle East with the ideas and philosophy of the leadership. The Leadership was born in the Middle East like a sun and this sun warms the peoples of these lands. The people of the Middle East rebelled against the oppressors, invaders and slavery with the ideas and philosophy of the leadership. As HPG guerrillas, we repeat our commitment to our leadership and state that we will fight with more determination. As it is known, the 'Dem dema azadiyê ye' initiative continues. We will make our initiative even bigger in April. As HPG, we will fight to the end for the people in the Middle East to live together and freely. Our people must participate in this struggle more strongly.

Beritan Rênas Amed: First of all, happy 4 April to all peoples and the PKK. With the birth of the leadership, there was a rebirth in the society. If we can live freely in these mountains today and continue our war, it's all thanks to your leadership.

Today If the PKK and the Kurdish people have reached this stage, it is thanks to the leadership. The leadership is imprisoned among 4 walls today, but that does not mean that he is not free. The leadership, though not physically free, his thoughts are free. All our struggle is for the physical freedom of our leadership. As YJA Star forces, we are based on ensuring the physical freedom of the leadership from 2021. We will increase our struggle on this claim. Happy 4 April, once again.
