Guerrilla Zap: The Kurdish people and guerrillas will win

“The alternative and perspectives given by our movement are enough to frustrate all the arms used by the enemy. They will always live with fear of guerrilla," said an HPG member.

HPG guerrilla Qendil Zap, who is taking part in the Battle Heftanin resistance offensive launched by the guerrillas against the invading Turkish forces, spoke to ANF about the developments on the ground in the territory of Southern Kurdistan (Northern Iraq).

Reminding that the invasion attacks started in June, guerrilla Zap said: "Instead of an emotional style, revenge style came to the fore with the necessary measures. Every tree, every stone comes with the smell of resistance in Heftanin."

Drawing attention to the sophisticated assault weapons used by the Turkish state, guerrilla Zap added: “The alternative and perspectives given by our movement are enough to frustrate all the arms used by the enemy. They will always live with fear of guerrilla.”

Recalling the words of Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan who always underlined the power of man against technology, guerrilla Zap said: “We act on the basis of this idea in Heftanin, we protect ourselves and take action."

Guerrilla Zap pointed out the action and movement style of the new era guerrilla and said: “The guerrilla is both securing its place and hitting the enemy. The enemy is stuck in Heftanin with this guerrilla style."

Stating that the people of Kurdistan should resist occupation more than any period, Zap said: “This is the land of Kurdistan. These people own the land. The people of Kurdistan, and especially the people of South Kurdistan, should take a harder stance against the occupation of their own land. The enemy's attacks are not limited to Heftanin, but their aim is to occupy the entire South Kurdistan. Everyone, especially women and youth, needs to gather around this guerrilla operation and make the fire of resistance grow.”

Finally, HPG guerrilla Zap sang a song and said: “This is Heftanin. All the enemies of the Kurds should know that the Kurdistan freedom guerrillas will never be defeated in Heftanin. Victory will be achieved by the Kurdish people and guerrilla.”
