Martyr Avyan Afrin YPS Retaliation Team carried out a fireworks and graffiti action in two separate places in the borough of Yeni Mahalle in Van on Sunday night to celebrate the 15 August Initiative.

The YPS said in a statement: "The beginning of the military resistance with the 15 August initiative has been celebrated as a feast in the territory of Kurdistan since then. Thanks to the 15 August initiative, there was a large participation in the freedom movement, and many self-sacrificing spirits who followed the path of Commander Egid were raised.

In the struggle for self-government, against the AKP-MHP fascist regime, Çiyager, Zeryan, Mehmet Tunç and many more comrades, whose names we cannot name, responded to the enemy with a tremendous struggle and were killed for this cause. On the basis of maintaining the spirit of 15 August, the YPS organization saluted the 15 August resistance against the fascist regime with a victory action and called all the people to the struggle for self-government against the enemy genocide. This call is a call for resistance.

Within the framework of the victory initiative, the YPS organization will fight against the AKP-MHP fascist regime today in Van, tomorrow in another place, with the spirit of August 15 resistance."
