'AKP and Turkish state lost as much as ISIS did'
NEWS CENTER (DİHA) - Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) Executive Committee Member Murat Karayılan stated that AKP and the Turkish state lost as much as ISIS did after the YPK-YPJ victory at Girê Spî.
Karayılan spoke to Ronahi TV and stated that the recent Girê Spî victory was a serious blow to ISIS and its supporters. Karayılan pointed out that AKP and the Turkish state were bothered by this victory because they would not acknowledge or support Kurds’ will.
Karayılan said that the victory of YPJ-YPG and Burkan El Fırat forces was an important gain for the collective resistance of people in Syrian politics, which had begun during the Kobanê resistance. Karayılan praised Kurdish people’s will and resistance during the defense of Kobanê, which later continued during the Til-Hemîs and Til-Berak initiatives, the war between Haseki and Til Temir, and the liberation of Mount Kizwan and its surroundings.
Karayılan described the Girê Spî initiative, which had begun in both Kobanê and Cizîr cantons, as a historic victory with new consequences. Karayılan said that collective resistance is now stronger and the main ISIS supply route is finally cut off.
‘ISIS will become increasingly weaker'
Karayılan stated that the liberation of Girê Spî was a serious blow to ISIS and its supporters, and AKP and the Turkish state lost as much as ISIS did in Girê Spî. Karayılan emphasized that ISIS would become increasingly weaker from now on.
‘Foundation for a democratic revolution in Syria is ready'
Karayılan highlighted the emergence of Kurds as a strong will in Syria, and said that the foundation for a democratic revolution in Syria is ready. Praising the success of people from Rojava Kurdistan, Karayılan said that the New Syria would be democratic and diverse. Karayılan called on Arab, Kurdish, Assyrian, Christian, Turkmen, Durzi, Alevi and other people to come together and create a new, diverse and colorful Syria.
‘New policies should be developed for new times'
Karayılan emphasized the need for understanding recent developments and abandoning old policies and discourses. Karayılan said that new policies should be developed for the new times, which would be the only way to establish unity and protect the gains of Kurdish people.
‘Everyone should return to her/his land'
Karayılan called on Kurdish youth residing in cities such as Istanbul and living outside of Rojava to return to their land. Karayılan described the victory at Girê Spî as a call of return to these young Kurdish people, and said that strengthening defense capacities is of paramount importance for the protection of the revolution in Rojava.
