A written statement made by the TKP-ML/TIKKO General Command, saluting the resistance of the guerrilla fighting against the occupying Turkish State.
In the statement, it discusses that the Kurdish guerrilla under the leadership of HPG-YJA Star exhibited a historical resistance stating, “The infiltration action carried out by the guerrilla with many different arms in the Gıre Metina area, the base positions used by the occupying Turkish army were defeated one by one, and dozens of occupying soldiers were taken out of the war.”
HPG-YJA Star guerrillas epic and historic resistance are celebrated due to the the success they achieved militarily by TIKKO fighters, “Media Defense Areas in the line of armed struggle in the resistance exhibited the correct line of sturggle not only in terms of the future of the Kurdish national freedom movement in Turkey, but also in terms of importance in terms of revolution in general.”
Occupying Turkish State is Experiencing Defeat After Defeat!
The year 2024 started with the effective and shocking actions of the guerrilla against the army of the fascist Turkish state in the Media Defense Areas. The occupying Turkish army has suffered more than 100 casualties in the last three months, suffering defeat after defeat on the Zap, Metina line. The Kurdish guerrilla, led by the HPG-YJA Star, is writing an epic by displaying a historic resistance.
Finally, with the infiltration action carried out by the guerrilla from many arms in the Gıre Metina area, the positions used as bases by the occupying Turkish army were taken down one by one and dozens of occupying soldiers were taken out of the war. As the fighters of our people’s army TIKKO, we salute the epic and historical resistance of the HPG, YJA Star guerrillas and congratulate them on their military success.
The resistance exhibited, through the correct line of armed struggle, in the Medya Defense Areas rests in an important place, not only for the future of the Kurdish national freedom movement, but also for the Turkish revolution.
In line with the “collapse plan” it has developed since 2015, the AKP / MHP fascist government has been carrying out a total annihilation attack against the revolutionary-communist movement, which stands on the line of armed struggle. By using psychological warfare methods effectively, it propagandizes that “the era of armed struggle is over” and “no movement can achieve results with armed methods anymore”. In this sense, the recent revolutionary operations of the Kurdish guerrilla have been an effective response to the “it’s over, we’re finishing it, we have this much left” discourses in the face of the media at certain intervals. With the actions of the guerrilla, it was once again seen that there was no ending of the Kurdish revolution and Turkey through the AKP-MHP parties fascist power could not stop the freedom struggle of the working people. The AKP-MHP media has become unable to hide its own losses at this stage.
The AKP-MHP government is a war cabinet. It has shaped its entire political strategic line according to the developments in the Middle East, the Caucasus and the war against the Kurdish national movement. In the face of the economic crisis and deepening poverty, a significant portion of the state budget is allocated to war and armament. The fascist media talks about the UAVs and UCAVs produced every day and foreign policy has been largely reduced to meeting the needs of the Turkish army. However, the recent actions of the guerrilla have once again shown that the decisive factor in war is not the latest models of advanced equipment, but the creative assertion of the human will.
Those who cannot get results with chemical gases and tactical nuclear bombs become desperate in the face of the guerrilla’s effective strikes, once again resort to lies and attribute the revolutionary moves of the HPG and YJA Star guerrillas to “foreign support”. It cannot be accepted that the Turkish regime, which is the gendarme of imperialism in the Middle East geography, and its mercenaries, a NATO army, were defeated under the same conditions. It has been seen once again that the Turkish military is nothing if it does not have technological superiority in the field. The revolutionary moves carried out by HPG, YJA Star guerrillas on the basis of “Revolutionary People’s War” in winter conditions prove the superiority of the just war over unjust wars and occupations.
Turkish fascism, as an occupying force, “mobilized in Kurdistan but failed to win victory”. It tries to hide its defeat with lies and psychological warfare. However, despite the wind of chauvinism, more and more people are questioning the policies of the AKP-MHP war cabinet.
The fascist Turkish state, which is helpless in the face of the guerrilla attacks, is organizing air strikes on Rojava as a sign of helplessness. By destroying the infrastructure and economic resources that meet the basic needs of the Rojava people, it tries to take its anger out on the Rojava people. Again, it does not hesitate to show its massacring face by bombing the settlements of the people. It is literally committing a crime of genocide.
The people of Rojava show their attitude and reaction against the attacks of the Turkish state by taking to the streets to defend the revolution. It is an unpostponable task to spread, develop and organize this reaction!
It must be stated once again that our People’s Army TIKKO stands by the just and legitimate resistance of the Kurdish nation. It confirms its determination to fight in the same ranks.
Long live the struggle of the Kurdish nation against fascism!
Long Live the People’s War
