 Mitani pointed out that many revolutions took place with the awakening of the Kurdish people.

 "The Turkish state has always been an enemy of the Kurdish cause and has sought to subjugate the Kurds throughout history. In return, when the Kurdish people revolted many revolutions happened, such as the establishment of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which seeks to liberate Kurdistan" Mitani said.

 He added," The Kurdish people's cause is victorious under the umbrella of the brotherhood of peoples and the democratic nation. Therefore, the Turkish state considers this revolution a threat to its racist goals, and most Turkish presidents say when they come to power, 'We will destroy any Kurdish entity, even if it is a tent on the surface of the moon."

 Mitani stated that the Turkish state is pursuing policies of balancing with the four occupiers of Kurdistan in order to overthrow Kurdishism.

Mitani explained, "The Turkish state opposes the awakening in Northern and Eastern Kurdistan, the entity of Rojava Kurdistan and Southern Kurdistan to prevent the Kurdish people from achieving their freedom. Unfortunately, the capitalist and profit-seeking states do not support human rights. They have built balances with the Turkish state through agreements and laws. In addition to that they support the Turkish state in its brutal attacks on the Kurdish people, as a result of the opportunity available today, some of its plans are affected it and do not succeed."

 He described the opportunity available to the Kurdish people now with this saying: “ “We have great opportunities now. For example, Southern Kurdistan has achieved its political entity, and the establishment of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party has had a great impact on the Kurdish people and on the international scene. There is a revolution in Rojava, and the barriers of fear are being broken in Northern Kurdistan, where detainees in prisons are resisting and the Kurdish language is being imposed to be introduced in universities. Regardless of the fascist policies pursued by the occupying regimes against the Kurdish people, this fascism has declined over time, which has allowed the Kurdish people to achieve their cause.

 Bradost Mitani pointed to the necessity of unifying the Kurdish house to thwart the new plots against Kurdistan.

 "Erdogan did his best to achieve his goals related to the National Charter, he failed in these policies, so he is now trying to reach an agreement with the Syrian regime, the goal is to overthrow the Autonomous Administration, there is a danger that we must define for our people, and all political parties must return to the unity of the Kurdish house in the face of these policies, the unity of the Kurdish house is an urgent need."

 Mitani highlighted some of the results of the fragmentation of the Kurdish ranks and the failure to achieve Kurdish unity, saying: "Unfortunately, some Kurdish parties are reluctant to unite, they fear unity and losing their power. For example, the failure to achieve Kurdish unity in Rojava Kurdistan led some to resist and make sacrifices, while others stood with the occupiers. If the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party united, they would return Kirkuk to Kurdistan, but unfortunately some Kurdish parties support Turkey and the fascist Arabs in Kirkuk."

 Furthermore, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the Kurdistan Democratic Party's approval of the deployment of the Turkish army in Southern Kurdistan and continued his speech: "We resist in Rojava and confront attempts attacks of the Turkish occupation army, but unfortunately they deployed thousands of Turkish soldiers in Southern Kurdistan against the guerrillas."

 He made the point clear that"Intellectuals must be patriotic and not only care about their personal interests."

  "They must talk about the policies of the occupiers, how can they remain silent about the occupation of cities? Unfortunately, some intellectuals do not say 'Afrin is occupied'. The truth is clear, the enemy seeks to eliminate the Kurds, so what kind of intellectual is this, the one who ignores these matters? Intellectuals must participate in all activities, if an intellectual does not realize the plans of the occupiers and seeks his personal interests, he is a fake intellectual."
