YJA Star (Free Women’s Troops) guerrilla Berfin Rêbaz evaluated the Turkish offensive in Medya Defense Zones and the guerrilla's ongoing resistance for the ANF. Guerrilla Rêbaz commemorated the May martyrs, saying, "We welcome the process in the spirit of the May martyrs. The enemy is attacking the guerrilla areas with brutal methods. Everyone sees and knows this. A great resistance continues in Metîna, Heftanîn, Garê, Zap, Avaşîn and Medya Defense Zones. There is also a great resistance in the Derarê region of Metîna.

The enemy comes and attacks, everyone sees it. There is a wild attack. But the resistance defeats the enemy, which can be seen in the media. Undoubtedly the enemy is spreading fake news in its own media, claiming that it has captured some places. But it is not true. The resistance hits the enemy economically and militarily.

The Turkish state is already frustrated. It has been frustrated economically, militarily and politically. It seeks to continue its politics by attacking the border regions. But the enemy is receiving heavy blows with the resistance of HPG and YJA Star guerrillas. Turkish troops cannot easily settle in our areas. If they move forward, they will encounter a great resistance.

As HPG and YJA Star guerrillas, we countervailed the process with the 'Cenga Xabûrê' offensive. The land of Kurdistan will be a grave for Turkish soldiers during the Cenga Xabêrê operation which is based on success, " she said.

KURDISH PEOPLE AND GUERRILLA WILL WIN

Reacting to the support of the Kurdistan regional government to the Turkish state, the YJA Star guerrilla made the following call to the people of South Kurdistan:

"I want to speak as a woman from southern Kurdistan. We aim at resistance and success within the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). As a guerrilla of southern Kurdistan, especially a YJA Star fighter, I want to address all the people of southern Kurdistan: know your friends and enemies. Especially know the Barzani government well. If the Turkish state is attacking the border, this is because of Barzani. If it does not allow, the Turkish state cannot easily attack the border regions.

The guerrilla is always resisting, but the people should also support this resistance with their actions. Our people in the South must act against these attacks. I especially want to address women from southern Kurdistan: they should take action. Freedom is important to us. Freedom is a need for the Kurdish people like bread and water. The Kurdish people, especially the people of the South, should want freedom. If they do not, the Turkish state and all enemy forces will easily invade their territory. We will not allow our lands to be occupied. The people of the South should act within this mindset.

If the Kurdish people and especially the people of the South show their reaction against these attacks, I believe that the Turkish state cannot easily attack the Kurdish people. The attacks of the Turkish state not only target the PKK, but also entire Kurdish people. Southern people should realize and understand this very well. Therefore, the resistance of the guerrilla and the people must unite. If this happens, success will be guaranteed. The Kurdish people and the guerrilla will win."
