Kurdish Communities Union (KCK) Martyrs Committee has released the names of 22 PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) guerrillas who died in 90's.

Remembering the 22 PKK guerrillas, KCK Committee said; “We know that many of our martyrs do not even have a grave. It was, however, not a grave but a free land they wanted. The biggest monument we can erect for them is the building of the long-denied Kurdistan as a free country at the center of the Middle East. This is the only place where our martyrs can rest in peace, and is the only swear we make every day and will be following till the very end.”

The KCK Committee continued saying that Kurds, one of the most ancient peoples in the history, have been struggling against a dominant mindset intending to eliminate them for wanting self determination and a life with their own identity and culture.

The KCK Committee vowed to “continue the struggle against an enemy that has taken all our peaceful steps for weakness, intensified its attacks in response to the hand of peace we offered, and wants to doom our people to a future without honor”.

“We would like it to be known that we will be enhancing the struggle and devote ourselves to it under all circumstances in order to bring a permanent end to the pains of mothers in Kurdistan and to build a free life with honor”, the Committee underlined and listed the names of 22 PKK guerrillas as follows;
