Press Release

Our self-sacrificial pioneers Sara Tolhildan Goyî, Rûken Zelal, Rojhat Zîlan andErdal Şahin started a new era in the most difficult period by carrying out self-sacrificial actions professionally and with full success.

They raised the bar of participation in the struggle by maximising Apoist sacrifice, and redefined the measure of the right life and struggle in the Apoist line. We reiterate our promise that we will always follow and keep alive the Apoist life and action style of our self-sacrificial fighters, who have left their mark on our yesterday, command our today and determine our tomorrow.

The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, a follower of the self-sacrificial line, resisted the attacks of the colonialist genocidal Turkish state and the occupying army in September with the Apoist self-sacrificial spirit. In Northern Kurdistan, numerous operations and bombardments were carried out by the occupying army from Mardin to Botan, from Amed to Dersîm and Garzan.

During a confrontation with the occupying Turkish army, our comrades Zerdeşt Suruç - Adem Özkan and Rêbaz Bagok - Selman Dağdelen heroically fought and fell as martyrs in Mardin Province, and Hebûn Pîro - Zirav Taş, Botan Osyan - Fehmi Başkurt in Amed Province.

In September, when the occupying Turkish army increased its attacks and bombardments based on war techniques, our Medya Defence Zones were bombed 51 times with banned explosives, 8 times by explosive-laden drones, 169 times by attack helicopters and 303 times by warplanes.

The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla responded to these attacks of the occupying army with Apoist sacrifice spirit and professional guerrilla tactics.

Our guerrillas, who displayed an active performance in September, carried out a total of 112 actions with various tactics, 1 from the air and 111 from the ground.
