Press Release

Kurdistan Freedom Struggle is the history of epics written by immortal heroes who paid great prices.

The sacrifices of Leader Apo (Abdullah Öcalan) have been the guarantee of the existence of the Kurdish people. The Turkish state wants to achieve its goals by liquidating the Kurdistan guerrilla. The fascist Turkish army, which has put all its power into the war, has failed in the face of the guerrilla's resistance and had to deal with heavy blows

We respectfully remember our comrades Baran, Rubar, Sarya, Serbest, and Şerko who fought heroically in a clash with the invading Turkish army in the area of Cehennem Creek in the Hezex district of Şırnak on 16 June 2019.
