HPG and YJA Star guerillas condemned the isolation of Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan, and stated that they would enhance their struggle for the physical freedom of their leader.

MAKÛ: WE HAVE NEVER BEEN SO CLOSE TO VICTORY

YJA Star guerilla Nujîn Makû recalled that the isolation of Öcalan has entered its first year, and targeted not only Öcalan but also Kurdish and other oppressed peoples. Makû said that the isolation targeted the strength of Kurdish people, but Kurdish people have not been closer to victory than now and would do everything to ensure the physical freedom of Öcalan.

'THE LEADER HOLDS THE KEY TO SOLVING THE PROBLEMS OF THE MIDDLE EAST'

YJA Star guerilla Hêvidar Cûdî stated that the attacks on Öcalan and Kurdish people have peaked recently, and the state was waging a war of total destruction against Kurds. Cûdî noted that people’s resistance upset the plans of the state, and Öcalan holds the key to solving the problems of the Middle East. Cûdî described the isolation of Öcalan as a crime against humanity, and emphasized that Kurdish people, particularly women, would do anything to ensure Öcalan’s physical freedom. Cûdî added that Öcalan was free mentally, and leads Kurdish people and guerillas with his thoughts. Cûdî said that 2016 would be the year of Öcalan’s freedom, and the guerillas would enhance their struggle in order to achieve Öcalan’s freedom.

'WE WILL DO OUR BEST'

HPG guerilla Bawer Çewlik emphasized the connection between the state massacres in North Kurdistan and the negotiations with Öcalan, and described the atrocities in Cizir, Sur and Nusaybin as the results of the isolation of the Leader. Çewlik said that the guerillas would do their best and be more active in order to ensure the physical freedom of Öcalan.
