HSM: Guerrillas are better prepared than ever

The People's Defense Center Headquarters states in its Newroz message to the HPG that the guerrillas are better prepared than ever in all areas to defeat the AKP/MHP regime.

The Headquarters Command of the People's Defense Center (HSM) wished the guerrillas a successful Newroz. Referring to the tyrant Dehak overthrown in the Newroz legend under the leadership of the blacksmith Kawa, the statement said: "The Dehak of today is the fascist AKP/MHP regime. Against this bulwark of oppression, an alliance of peoples is necessary today as well. Especially in consideration of the defeat of the Turkish army against the guerrillas in the Gare region of South Kurdistan, this year's Newroz celebration is of utmost importance. The resistance of Gare has profound implications for the further process. The resistance has shown the true face of Turkish colonialism. All have been able to see that its self-representation does not correspond to reality. Despite its military strength and technique, it became clear that the regime could not achieve any result in the face of the determined attitude of its opponents. That is why everyone speaks of the period 'before Gare' and 'after Gare'. Thus, the crisis of the enemy has been deepened, the enemy has been demoralized and its problems have increased."

"We have great chances of success"

The HSM pointed out that the success is particularly rooted in the restructuring of the guerrilla, adding, "The restructuring process has been on our agenda for three years. If we really implement this process, if we continue to develop the professionalized guerrilla of the new phase based on different specialized areas, then we can respond to any attack of the enemy and be successful. The Gare resistance has shown this reality. We have great chances of success."

"Isolation torture is not tolerable"

Regarding the isolation of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan, HSM said: "The isolation torture regime against Rêber Apo [Leader Öcalan] has broken every tolerance limit. Therefore, we must succeed in this struggle in response to our brave martyrs and the tears of our mothers."

Regarding the meaning of the year, the HSM said: "Because the regime wants to prolong its life, it tries to achieve successes against us. This can only be done through war. We want to ensure the physical freedom of Rêber Apo during this time and put an end to this fascist genocidal regime."

"Better prepared than ever"

HSM concluded, "We are better prepared than ever in all areas of struggle, in all parts of Kurdistan, to give the necessary answer to the colonialist threats of the Turkish regime."
