“The historical resistance developed by the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla against the invasion operation launched by the colonial Turkish army on the basis of the invasion of Bashure Kurdistan on April 14, 2022 has completed its eighth month. The fascist AKP-MHP regime, which wants to end its policy of genocide by destroying the reality of Free Kurd and Free Kurdistan, has determined as its main ultimate goal to liquidate the Kurdistan Freedom Movement, which it sees as the main obstacle to its dirty plans. Aiming to achieve its dirty goals in a short time by backing up the unlimited technical support and collaborative circles provided by NATO, the colonialist Turkish army turned every inch of Kurdistan’s stone and land into a resistance area and failed once again in the face of Apoist militants who fought selflessly and focused on victory. Despite the most difficult conditions and scarce resources,
The invading Turkish state attacked with banned weapons 3152 times
In the Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna areas, the invading Turkish army, which had a great blockage in the face of our guerrilla resistance, which opened a new page in the history of our people, once again put into action immoral and unlawful war methods and bombarded the Resistance Areas with banned bombs and chemical weapons. Although it has been documented many times that it committed war crimes in front of the eyes of the whole world, the genocidal Turkish army, powered by the dead silence in the face of the genocidal attacks on the Kurdish people, systematically continued its inhuman attacks by increasing it. During the 8-month war, the war criminal Turkish army bombed the war tunnels and positions where our forces were located 3152 times (phosphorus bomb, thermobaric bomb, Tactical nuclear bombs) and chemical weapons, he recklessly committed the brutality of war crimes that is rare in history. The collaborative, treacherous and capitulating line in Kurdistan openly supported the invading Turkish state, paved the way for the occupation of Kurdistan, tried to surround the guerrilla in many areas, stabbed the guerrilla’s defense resistance against the occupation of Kurdistan, and continued this sinister line despite all the calls of our people. Despite all these inhuman attacks, the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, armed with the unshakable Apoist spirit of sacrifice, continued its resistance uninterruptedly in the battle positions it was in and once again strikingly demonstrated the invincibility of the Apoist will. The treacherous and capitulating line has openly supported the invading Turkish state, paved the way for the occupation of Kurdistan, tried to besiege the guerrilla in many areas, stabbed the guerrilla’s defense resistance against the occupation of Kurdistan, and continued this sinister line despite all the calls of our people.

Guerrilla left the Turkish army breathless
The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, which took firm steps towards victory by practicing the Revolutionary People’s War, dealt heavy blows to the invading Turkish army by using the guerrilla tactics of the new era, and proved that it has the power to nullify any attack with its expert team, which uses the war tunnels and the terrain skillfully. Within the scope of the Bazên Zagrosê and Martyr War Maraş Cenga Xabûrê Revolutionary Campaigns against the invasion operation; Our forces responded with ambush, infiltration, raid, sabotage, assassination, heavy weapons, clashes-coups, coordinated guerrilla actions and revolutionary operations, demonstrating the level they reached by carrying out 299 guerrilla actions in the last month and 2852 during the eight-month war period, and defeated the fascist Turkish army. left breathless on the battlefield. 12 counterattacks during the invasion operation, A total of 2744 invaders, 20 of whom were senior soldiers, were punished and 385 were wounded. Hulusi Akar, the Minister of War, who commanded this dirty war, tried to hide the defeat he experienced many times in order to get the fascist Turkish army, which suffered a great loss of morale and motivation as a result of the effective actions developed by the guerrilla with high will and skill in all seasons, summer and winter, in order to get out of the whirlpool it fell into. could not. Not revealing the names of the soldiers killed by hiding; bombarding the dead bodies of soldiers with warplanes, attack helicopters, howitzers and mortars; The fascist Turkish army, which tries to destroy the bodies by throwing them off the cliffs in plastic bags and using all dirty war methods, has tried to hide the defeat it has experienced with the fictional victory news it presented to the public in the private war media.
Our guerrilla struggle, which started with our immortal commander Egîd (Mahsum Korkmaz) and based on walking on the line of victory, became self-sacrificing by becoming Zîlan, did not allow surrender and betrayal by becoming Bêrîtan, and became an insurmountable wall against the invaders by becoming Reşit Serdar. In the face of the invasion operation, each of our guerrillas in the Resistance Areas created hundreds of new Zîlan and Bêrîtans, Sara and Rûkens, walking on the victory line of Commander Egîd. Our comrades, who are the militants of the “One bite, one cardigan” philosophy, did not succumb to any difficulties, showed that they were the most distinguished examples of the line of self-sacrifice by fighting under the most difficult conditions and with the scarcest means, and took their place in the history of our people’s struggle.
Hundreds of invasion attacks carried out by the invading Turkish army with the participation of tens of thousands of soldiers, counters and mercenaries by mobilizing all their technical means were thwarted by our professional forces, and numerous guerrilla actions took place in the areas that the invaders claimed to dominate. From Bakur to Bashur, our forces, continuing their resistance uninterruptedly in the dirt of Kurdistan, continue to inflict heavy blows on the fascist Turkish army. The actions of our forces and the real war reality were recorded by Gerîla TV and shared with the public, and the facts that the colonial Turkish army tried to hide by using special war media were clearly revealed.
While the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, who fought selflessly against the genocide and annihilation attacks against our people, turned the tradition of our immortal martyrs into a resistance mortar, waged an unprecedented struggle in these 8 months, while 199 of our comrades were martyred until their last breath. The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla followed the line of martyrs on the basis of the Apoist ideology, and showed once again that it is determined and strong to achieve victory by unwaveringly applying the Apoist struggle and lifestyle without deviating from this line.
