To the Press and the Public Opinion!

We have lost contact with 35 friends due to the air strikes started on 22 October that lasted for three days in the areas of Guze Rese and Gunde Pıre in Cukurca-Hakkari. It is clear that 24 friends from 35 are martyred. 24 corpses kept in Malatya Forensic Morgue belong to our friends. We can not contact the 11 friends and we have not received any information whether they are alive or not.

Due to the reason that we can not identify the names of the corpses held in Malatya Morgue we will disclose the identies of the 35 friends all together. We share the information on the identities of those 31 friends with public. Once we clarify the names of the rest of the four friends it will be announced.

 

Our Hakkari and Çele forces, the majority of a brigade of 35 guerillas was martyred by in large by air attacks and as well as usage of different weapons. There were friends who were martyred by being left under a cave that is bombed by different tonnage cluster bombs many have resisted against the fascist enemy troops for two days. The resistance of these friends could only be broken by the use unlawful weapons.

On the basis of the information received from those friends witnessed the bombings and clashes

as well as conduct of some research shows that the Turkish army as the invader violated international war laws and used many unlawful weapons. It has been clarified that Napalm bombs and chemical weapons are used in the continuous bombing of the area day and night by war planes, cobra helicopters, tanks, howitzer and mortar bombs. The use of chemical weapons which became a Turkish army classic continued for days even though there was heavy rainfall and snowing. The current army commander Necdet Özel proves his the nikname given by the Kurds as to be, ‘Necdet the chemical’.Chemical bombs used so many times by the Turkish army in the history of guerilla struggle was once more used in Çele.

The Turkish state and army and those support these savage applications, provide these weapons or those not objecting to the use of such weapons will certainly receive the reaction of our people.

We call upon on the all human rights organizations and the democratic public opinion to investigate the corpses and make necessary research in the area of conflict.

The stand, the personalities, and the revolutionary lives of the each of these heroic monuments being brought up by the tradition of resistance of the Kurdish people, patriotism and Apoist consciousness will preserve its existence by being the most dynamic force of our struggle.Streching from Wan, Colemerg, Riha, Semsur,Îdir, Çele, Kars, Sirnex, Beytusebap, Erzingan, Mus, Elih, Xoy, Urmiye, Selmas, Kamyaran, Maku, Kobani, Dirbesiye, until Afrin and Derîk the resistance and heroism of our immortal martyres being in the four corners of Kurdistan reminds us the historical responsibilities that we may have.

Our valuable comrades born and raised in the years of 1980s and 1990s have joined the struggle in the mountains of Kurdistan as the fierce followers of the Apoist movement. Self developed, with the power of the new thought and practice each comrade have dedicated oneself to the Freedom Struggle and were full of joy, enthusiasm and morale.

These brave Kurdish sons whom shouldered difficulties of all kinds to live freely on their own land, and repel the fascist hordes that gripped our land, values, traditions showed us that freedom is within reach more than ever.

Each woman comrade that reached martyrdom, as the leader of Women's Liberation and the creation of new community of the most beautiful and most valuable have taken their place as monuments of the immortals. With the perspectives from the Women's Liberation Ideology they maintained their determined marches in the mountains of Kurdistan in a most powerful and majestic style against the low enemy.

The bombardments of the enemy in a despicable and coward way which failed in the face of the guerrillas in any way, literally changes the structure of the land in the region. The enemy’s belief that it will get result through bombings is a sign of a great fear in his heart.

Let the enemy and its supporters not to be happy. This is not a struck that is blown in the face of guerrilla, neither it is a victory.

PKK and its bodyguard HPG born to be the movement of revenge of the history and the peoples suffered will ask for the dirty, inhumane and brutal practices and will not leave the blood of the comrades on the ground. No one should have doubt that. As the sons of an unyielding people before fascist, colonial enemy we promise to take the revenge of the new members of the Army of Martyrs and cry out once again that we will continue to walk in their dignified and honorable path.

We have no doubt that our people from four parts of Kurdistan will welcome those comrades wrote legends of heroism with serhildans equivalent to their resistance and to the brutalities of the enemy.

Being the warriors of dignity, honor, freedom and truth it is the primary duty of firstly the youth and our people to welcome them.
