Guerrilla martyrs' families: PKK is party that defends oppressed people

This November 27^th marks the 42^nd anniversary of PKK founding, which from the very beginning was able to become a platform for oppressed peoples, advocating justice, equality and liberty for women.

It has thousands of male and female fighters of various nationalities among its ranks, who are a source of pride to their families and communities because of the lofty values for which they defend.

 The mother of martyr Ozgir, fayza khalil, said: "The first shot fired by the martyr Agîd paved the way for popular Kurdish resistance and developed into a revolution for the Middle East peoples against Turkish fascism."

Fayza argued that PKK "worked to secure the rights of oppressed peoples at a time when nationalist fascist regimes were seeking to annihilate the cultures of the Middle East."

According to fayza, the formation of PKK, and their sons, daughters joining the ranks of "this party for struggle and recovering rights has made the components of north and east Syria influenced by the principles of leader Abdullah Ocalan in people's fraternity and co-existence."

 Fayza said that they would follow the march of their struggling children "until achieving the covenant entrusted to them to build a free, democratic homeland for all without excluding anyone."

The resurrection message

Ferhad Mohamed Dibo, a father of three strugglers, one of whom martyred in the party ranks, called the anniversary of the PKK's founding a "message of resurrection."

He also said that the course charted by their sons and daughters in their pure blood paved the way for empowering the existence of Kurds and preserving their nationality from dissolving before the special wars imposed on the Kurdish people.

On the issue of sacrifices, Dibo said that they would sacrifice as much as possible, and continue the path of struggle and sacrifice that they had begun since the 1980s, turning their homes into places of training and forming cadres capable of changing the reality of society.

Dibo ended his talk by appealing to all Kurds for unity.

Turning families into revolutionary nucleus

Martyr Rezan's mother, Amina Abdo, said: "With the declaration of the founding of PKK, we turned our families into revolutionary nucleus within society, and we did not block our sons and daughters' demand to join the revolution."

On the grounds for enrolment, Amina's mother pointed out that "the urgent need to build a homeland that guarantees our rights opened the way for us to engage in the Revolutionary Movement of PKK."
