The Newroz celebrations of the guerrillas are continuing with the lighting of fires at numerous points in the mountains of Kurdistan.

The Eastern Kurdistan Defence Units (YRK) guerrillas lit a Newroz fire to mark the celebrations. Before the celebrations, a speech about the importance of Newroz was made to a group of guerrillas.

A guerrilla commander drew attention to the role of Newroz in the Kurdish freedom struggle, emphasizing the guerrilla's "invincible will" in the face of the invaders' attacks.

The commander underlined that they would follow in the footsteps of the guerrillas who were martyred in the four parts of Kurdistan. “We have no fear. We have one life, and we will sacrifice it for our people and our land,” he said.

The guerrilla commander stressed that they must liberate Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan in order to protect the people and the martyrs.
