Kurdish youth living in the town of Michurinsk in Tambov, Russia protested the Turkish state’s latest wave of invasion attacks on guerrilla areas in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).

Elzana Suleman reading the statement on behalf of the Youth Committee expressed that they claim the “Time for Freedom” (Dem Dema Azadiye) campaign.

Suleman stated that they will expand the struggle against the isolation of the Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan and added, “The Turkish state will be dealt a nasty blow as in Gare operation.”

The Kurdish activist saluted the guerrilla resistance and called on peoples to increase the struggle, saying, “Kurdistan cannot achieve freedom without the freedom of the leader of Kurdish People, Abdullah Öcalan.”
