International Freedom Battalion: “We Will Spread the Freedom Struggle All over the World”

The Rojava Revolution, which was established on July 19, 2012, has become the hope of a free and democratic life for all peoples and humanity. Every libertarian sees its future and existence in the Rojava revolution, that’s why the Rojava revolution has become an international revolution alongside the social revolution.

The Rojava Revolution, which started with the leadership of women, became a source of inspiration for women and oppressed communities. On this basis, the young men and women of the International who took their place in this revolution stated that the Rojava revolution is an opportunity for a new and free life for them and said, “The purpose of this revolution is to build a free life, it is not the purpose of building a state. This revolution has an important meaning, this revolution will bring people closer to their roots and truth. Today, everyone sees how the invading Turkish state, like the Ottoman Empire, poses new threats to humanity. This revolution is a threat to their existence.”

The entire speech of the Internationalist youth who spoke to our agency is as follows:

The international youth named Têkoşer Armeni, who is an Armenian, his family moved to Europe because of the massacres committed by the Ottomans on the Armenians. The Armenian fighter said about the invasion attacks of the Turkish state, which wants to renew the dream of the Ottomans once again: “Due to the Ottoman attacks and the massacres, my family was deported from their country and went to Europe. With the help of the Ottoman Empire, the Armenian people were scattered all over the world. That’s why I, as a person, am separated from my culture, history and land. I was excluded. In order to return to my reality once again, I joined the freedom struggle of the Rojava revolution. We see here that this revolution is not only a national revolution, a revolution that contains all the truths, a revolution from it is for the truth of life. We see that the Kurdish people are always being destroyed by the enemy, and we also see the resistance that the Kurdish people are putting up against it. Together with other peoples such as the Assyrian, Armenian and Arab people, side by side, They are fighting against annihilation attacks.”

“The Rojava revolution is a threat to the existence of the state of hegemony”

“Because this revolution is a revolution of truth, I joined it. The purpose of this revolution is to build a free life, not to build a state. This revolution has an important meaning, this revolution will bring people closer to their roots and truth. Today, everyone sees how the invading Turkish state, like the Ottoman Empire, threatens humanity. This revolution is a threat to their existence. We are not afraid of these threats, the will of our people is strong, the spirit of resistance is very strong. At the same time, this revolution It is not only in Rojava, it is a hope for all the people of the world. Because all the other countries impose oppression on the society and the people. The life of the country I came from is not free, we all hope that one day this system will end. If they are destroyed, free life will be built instead.”

“Everyone should fight for their freedom in this revolution”

“The place of this revolution is the place where free life started. As the day goes by, the growth and development of this revolution increases. All the people of the world who see the Rojava revolution as hope for themselves should fight to protect it. Let everyone come and take their place in it, fight and resist this system, until they can live freely. Even if they cannot come, let them raise the struggle against the capitalist system and the fascist Turkish state in their place.”

“We will never surrender, we will spread the freedom struggle all over the world”

“When the invading Turkish state attacks, it does not attack alone, it has the full force of NATO behind it. It fights with NATO and Russian weapons. Wherever the capitalist system is, unite all of them. That’s why We all have to fight against it everywhere. We have to fight everywhere and build a free life. Until this revolution and its struggle spreads everywhere, the threats of the dictator and the capitalist system will not end. We will fight until the last drop of blood in Rojava Kurdistan. We will never surrender, we will spread this struggle for freedom all over the world. Finally, I wish success to all friends and fighters. For all martyrs, I bow my head. I say that the struggle of the Internationals against the fascists will live forever.”

“Wherever fascism attacks, we will raise our struggle there”

At the same time, a young woman named Sakîne Tolhildan, originally from America, drew attention to the July 19 Revolution, the role of women in the revolution and said; “I came to Rojava because I heard that the people here are fighting for freedom, demanding a new life and building a women’s revolution. At the same time, they fought against the fascism of ISIS and the Turkish state with a resistant spirit. In Rojava Kurdistan, ISIS and the fascist Turkish state has failed. The war that the Turkish state will start again now is to destroy the freedom-loving people. We know very well that when ISIS attacked Rojava, the Turkish state took all the opportunities it had. because ISIS failed against the resistance of the people and fighters, the Turkish state wants to take revenge, that’s why it continues its attacks without interruption. We as internationals do not see these attacks only against the Kurdish and Arab people It’s not just about Rojava Kurdistan, it’s about the entire humanity, so everyone should take their place in this struggle. Wherever fascism attacks, we will raise our struggle there and protect our people. ”

“The Rojava Revolution is the best way for a free life.”

In the end, Sakine Tolhildan called all the International youth and said, “Anyone who can defend the revolution should come and not stay where they are. Anyone who wants to save their country, live a free life, should come to Rojava and learn the right struggle. Everyone is obliged to defend their country. We fight against the existence of fascism. lift yourself up.”

“How we defeated ISIS, we will defeat all other forces”

Also, the young man from Australia, Zozan Atakan said, “When I came to Rojava, I came with great hope and I still have hope. During the 5 years of struggle from East to Rojava Kurdistan, I took many tasks. From Afrin to Deir Ezor, to Ser Kani, with a gun in my hand, we fulfilled our revolutionary duties. We are now approaching the 10th anniversary of the Rojava revolution, I see myself in this revolution. When I first arrived, I did not fully understand the situation here. Later, against the attacks of ISIS, the Turkish state and the BAIS regime since then, I have seen how many people can organize themselves; for me this organization of the people was an inspiration. During these 10 years of the revolution, we witnessed many things. We are now in a tough war. I have also faced tough battles during my accession. At the same time, the Kurdish and Arab people have been facing a genocidal and fascist war for a hundred years. Now the Turkish state is preparing for a big war against us, we can only win the armed conflict. For example, how we defeated ISIS, we will defeat all other forces as well to be.”

“All young people should join this revolution, fight for a free life”

“We are now in the month of July, in this month there are two historical days that dealt heavy blows to the occupying Turkish state, one is July 19 and the other is July 14. That’s why we call on all young people. I want them to come and take their place in the struggle, build their future and fight for a free life.”
