TO THE PRESS AND PUBLIC : HPG (PKK) HEADQUARTER STATEMENT ON RECENT MILITARY ACTIVITIES

20 Kurdish people have reached to martyr and many others wounded as a result of an airstrike realized by Syrian army’s combat aircrafts against Şêx Maxsut District in Halep in which mostly Kurdish people live.

Kurdish people who have constantly a constructive approach from the very beginning of the clashes, is a public who has a legitimate claim and struggled politically for a democratic Syria in which Kurdish people are accepted. Despite this, Kurdish people have been attacked several times in the process of these clashes and most recently this situation has been carried to the dimension of massacre in Şêx Maxsut District. We condemn this attack vigorously.

Everybody has to understand that Kurdish people living in West Kurdistan are not alone. All Kurds will always stand behind them.  It is important for fighting groups in Syria not to target Kurdish people and to understand clearly the political attitude of Kurdish people who asks for freedom and democracy. We know that, our very valuable patriotic people in this region who are full of the conscious of patriotism, who live with the passion of freedom have the strength to defend themselves with their own organization and the fraternity. But it is indispensable for our people to pay attention against these kinds of provocative attacks and to defend themselves with much more effective measures.

We are offering our condolence to the families of our patriots, in which some of them were children and women, who have reached to martyr and to all West Kurdistan people, we wish the injured ones a speedy recovery. We believe that the memories of these valuable patriots will be cherished in the struggle of freedom as a martyr of freedom. We are saluting the sacred struggle of freedom raising from West Kurdistan and emphasizing that we are standing behind them.

We would like to express that nothing can stop the freedom and democracy march of West Kurdistan people who have founded their national, democratic unity and have built their own regional parliaments.

In the same manner, Turkish government which is constantly continuing its airstrikes against North and South Kurdistan has recently targeted civilians in Kandil, two patriots have been injured and it damaged the wealth of valuable people of Kandil. While Turkish government’s combat aircrafts were attacking against Xakurkê region last night between 00:00-01:30, Goman Hill in Şemdinli and Şikêra Sipî regions have been bombarded by aircrafts this morning between 05:30-06:00. The gardens and grape yards are damaged severely by all these airstrikes and it is intended to damage people financially and to make them emigrate from the region.

We are condemning vigorously all these attacks, and expressing that the attacks realized in whichever part of Kurdish people will not be unreturned, Kurdish Freedom Movement has  the strength to defend Kurdish people in all regions and has the performance to respond in an appropriate way.

Colonialism will be defeated under our people’s immense indignation and pace of the freedom movement, the owners of legitimate struggle will win not the oppression
