The resistance of the Kurdish people against ISIS in Kobanê proved this. Today, the guerrilla continues to resist the Turkish invasion with the same heroism. We should all question ourselves. We wouldn't be where we are today without our martyrs. We know that the movement paid a heavy price for Kurdistan and thanks to our martyrs we will definitely defeat the enemy."
