The historic resistance of the Kurdistan freedom guerrillas continues against the Turkish state's invasion attack on Avashin, Zap and Metina in the Medya Defense Zones. YJA Star guerrillas spoke to ANF about the ongoing attacks and the guerrilla’s resistance.

YJA Star guerrilla Rojbîn Berfîn Can reminded the successful resistance of the guerrilla in Garê last February and said: “We, as YJA Star guerrillas, will resist in the name of guerrilla Şoreş and the other guerrillas resisting in Garê. We will take example from the Garê resistance, which was based on war tunnels and other modern warfare techniques. We will be successful in our response to the fascist Turkish state not only in Zap, Avashin and Metina, but everywhere."

Guerrilla Rojbîn Berfîn Can said that if the Turkish state deepens the war, the guerrillas will also increase the resistance and added: "We will follow the resistance of friends Rüstem and Esmer who fell as martyrs in Heftanîn. We will resist to the end, and we will avenge our martyred friends."

Call for everyone to speak up

YJA Star guerrilla Rojbîn Berfîn Can said that the Turkish state resorted to all kinds of methods against the guerrilla's resistance and added: “Our people should be sensitive and should not remain silent. The enemy may have superior technology, but we will follow the path of our comrades who dealt a great blow to the colonial powers in Garê with a modern guerrilla warfare style. We, as freedom guerrillas, will continue our resistance until our Leader [Öcalan] is free.”

YJA Star guerrilla Viyan Egîd said that they will resist the occupation of Kurdistan lands until the end and added: “The Turkish state uses all kinds of technology to enter the mountains of Kurdistan. We, as the YJA Star and HPG guerrillas, will respond with the spirit of the Garê resistance. The power we get from Garê will be enough to defeat the enemy."

YJA Star guerrilla Serhildan Can drew attention to the "Bazên Zagrosê" and "Cenga Xaburê" initiatives launched by the guerrilla to defeat the invasion attack against Avashin, Zap and Metina.

Guerrilla Serhildan Can said that Turkish President Erdoğan could not achieve his goals because of the Garê resistance and added: "Leader Apo's Fedayeen will not allow the colonial powers to enter Kurdistan. We will follow the path of our comrades Şoreş, Rojhat and Avareş. Leader Apo's Fedayeen exist not only in Garê but all over Kurdistan."
