The Revolutionary Youth Movement and Young Women's Union Coordination released a written statement concerning the latest Turkish attack in the northern Syrian town of Kobane.

The coordination commemorated the martyrs Viyan Kobanê, Nujiyan Öcelan, Rojin, Welîd and Merhef in Kobanê, saying, “We promise that we will take revenge for our martyrs.”

'WE WILL TAKE REVENGE OF OUR MARTYRS'

Below is the full statement of the coordination:

“As the Revolutionary Youth Movement and the Young Women's Union Coordination, we have been carrying out a revolutionary struggle and resistance since the beginning of the Rojava Revolution. We have crowned this struggle with numerous esteemed martyrs since the beginning of the revolution. We have managed to lead the revolution by further maintaining the heritage of revenge, loyalty and martyrs. The enemy and betrayers have started to fear the Revolutionary Youth Movement because of its power, will, stance and activism.

The Revolutionary Youth Movement and the Young Women's Union have been an active force against all kinds of attacks by the enemy which targets our lands and the revolution and their treacherous collaborators. For this reason, it has been a target of fascist forces and their treacherous collaborators backed by the invading Turkish state. These attacks are being carried out to eliminate the Revolutionary Youth Movement. All these fascist forces and treacherous collaborators have mobilized all their means for the suppression, annihilation and complete elimination of the youth. Most recently, the family of one of our members and our 5 members were targeted during an organizational activity in Kobane and 5 of our friends were martyred in a Turkish air strike.

This is not the first time that the Revolutionary Youth Movement and the Young Women's Union were subjected to attacks. These attacks are based on prearranged plans and have continued until now. All these attacks against the Revolutionary Youth Movement have been responded with a stance, organization and activism. All fascist occupation forces and the line of betrayal and cooperation should know very well that these attacks, like all previous attacks, will not go unanswered and without vengeance.

As the Revolutionary Youth Movement and the Young Women's Union, we will make the promise of our martyrs Viyan Kobanê, Nujiyan Öcelan, Rojin, Welîd and Merhef the basis of our struggle and actions and take revenge. The Revolutionary Youth Movement and the Young Women's Union promise to respond to these attacks with a greater will and revolutionary activism.

Since its inception, the Revolutionary Youth Movement has organized itself in a responsible and historical revenge activism and continues to fight actively based on the line of revenge. The Revolutionary Youth Movement has thrown a scare into the fascist, invading and treacherous enemy with its revengeful actions. Thousands of young revolutionary fighters will reply in practice to the line of fascism and treacherous cooperation for the revenge of all the young people who have been martyred. We promise that we will take revenge for our martyrs through the power of youth activism.”
