Komalên Ciwan: Youth must flock to PKK ranks
NEWS CENTER (DİHA) - The Komalên Ciwan (Youth Unions) Coordination has issued a statement to mark the anniversary of the establishment of the PKK (Kurdistan Worker's Party) on 27 November 1978.
The statement of the Coordination recalled that 37 years ago a group of young people got organised against the cultural and physical oppression in Kurdistan, saying; "The group, firstly called ‘students’ or ‘followers of Apo’ built a party following the killing of Comrade Haki, who is called by the leader Apo ‘my hidden soul’, and gained an identity through their resistance in prisons, and has today come to the forefront of the world agenda through the resistance in Kobanê and Sinjar, becoming the voice of the voiceless, and the hope of all the oppressed and exploited peoples”.
'Rojava Revolution is setting an example for whole Middle East'
The Coordination said that through the Rojava Revolution the PKK has succeeded in bringing together women and men from different ethnic and religious backgrounds in Syria and superseded the very function of the nation state mindset, proving the essentiality of building a democratic nation. The Coordination added that the Rojava Revolution is not only setting an example for the four parts of Kurdistan but also for the whole Middle East and the world.
'Movement takes youth organisation as its basis'
Commemorating the fallen heroic members of the PKK, the Coordination stressed that the movement takes youth organisation as its basis, adding that the PKK movement with not only Kurdish youths but also many others from different parts of the world has shielded Kobanê from the predatory mindset.
Call on Kurdish youngs
"We have to be among those who write history in Kobanê by turning everywhere into Kobanê, reclaiming the spirit of 6-7 October", Komalen Ciwan Coordination said and ended its statement by calling on the youth of Kurdistan to take ownership of their heritage in these lands and to flock to the PKK ranks, "where the dream of a free life is being realised.”
