New Years Message from the People Defense Forces of
Kurdistan (HPG).
January 4, 2008
2008 is the year of resistance.
With the end of a year full of successful struggle
and tireless efforts and the beginning of a new new
year, we congratulate our leader, our people and all
the Turkey's Kurdish freedom (PKK) fighters in the
world remembering our martyrs and confirming our
continuation of their struggle and resistance.
We salute the struggle and the patience of our
heroic people who have demonstrated year after year
their honorable national awareness and struggle for
liberation.
With the entry of 2008 completed, States dominate
Kurdistan, led by the Turkish State and supported by
the international forces exploited this agreement
against the Kurdish people and the Kurdish national
liberation movement led by the PKK,www.ekurd.net
reflect Turkey’s
determination to pursue a policy of denial and
liquidation of every thing Kurdish.
Turkey, Syria, Iran and some other reactionary
forces in the region apply all forms of oppression,
coercion and conspiracy to break the will of our
people and our fighters resistance.
They use the darkest oppression forms of arrests,
torture and control in addition to direct military
operations in the Kurdish areas against the Turkey's
Kurdish PKK fighters.
It is very clear that this conspiratorial agreement
against the Kurdish National liberation movement
started a new trend for the new year.
The year 2007, is a years full of sacrifices and
great efforts to resolve the Kurdish issue by
political and democracy means.
This manifested concretely in the positions of the
PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan imprisoned in (Imrali)
and isolated in one cell room, as well as our
movement repeated calls for dialogue to resolve the
problem in democratic ways away from violence.
Yet the 2007 year was a year of victory in the
approach of the resistance, the resistance of the
Kurdish fighters despite fierce attacks and military
operations of the Turkish army.
They followed a legitimate defense approach in
responding to the Turkish campaigns and implemented
successful military operations, on the other hand
the Kurdish people showed their determination and
support of the PKK policies, despite the pressure
brought upon them.
In this sense the 2007 year was a year of resistance
and liberation struggle embodied in Ormar, Kabar and
the resistance of Katoa Jirga and Kalabani.
Despite all the democracy and political good work to
fined a peaceful solution, the enemies of the
Kurdish people have expressed their intention to
pursue the policy of denial, annihilation and forced
assimilation.
In response to these oppressive policies, the
Kurdish side continues to insist on resistance and
struggle.
The 2008 will be a year resistance and retaliation
against the Turkish army attacks and the policies of
enemy states of the Kurdish people.
The Kurdish fighters will respond to the vicious
attacks of the Turkish army in northern Kurdistan (
Kurdish southern-Turkey) and its military operations
in southern Kurdistan (Iraqi Kurdistan region),www.ekurd.net
after it started its air
raids on Iraqi Kurdistan with the support of the
United States and other international powers and
with cooperation of the regional reactionary powers.
We enter the 2008 year aware that it will be a year
of difficult tasks and struggle, confident that the
liberation movement, the Kurdish people and the
fighters of the People Defense Forces of Kurdistan
will succeed in this historical test.
Victory, freedom and to resolve the just Kurdish
issue are fruits of these struggles.

Kurdistan 31 - December - 2007

* Since 1984 the PKK
took up arms for self-rule in the country's mainly
Kurdish southeast of Turkey. A
large Turkey's Kurdish community openly sympathise with the Kurdish PKK for a
Kurdish homeland in the country's mainly Kurdish
southeast of Turkey.
The PKK demanded Turkey's recognition of the Kurds'
identity in its constitution and of their language
as a native language along with Turkish in the
country's Kurdish areas, the party also demanded
an end to ethnic discrimination in Turkish laws and
constitution against Kurds, granting them full
political freedoms.

Kurds are not recognized as an official minority in
Turkey and are denied rights granted to other
minority groups. Under EU pressure, Turkey recently
granted Kurds limited rights for broadcasts and
education in the Kurdish language, but critics say
the measures do not go far enough.
The use of the term "Kurdistan" is vigorously
rejected due to its alleged political implications
by the Republic of Turkey, which does not recognize
the existence of a "Turkish Kurdistan" Southeast
Turkey.
Others estimate over 40 million Kurds live in
Big Kurdistan (Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Iran, Armenia),
which covers an area as big as France, about half of
all Kurds which estimate to 20 million live in
Turkey.
Turkey is home to over 25 million ethnic Kurds, a
large Turkey's Kurdish community openly sympathise with the Kurdish PKK for a
Kurdish homeland in the country's mainly Kurdish
southeast of Turkey.
Before August 2002, the Turkish government placed
severe restrictions on the use of Kurdish language,
prohibiting the language in education and broadcast
media.
The Kurdish alphabet is still not recognized
in Turkey, and use of the Kurdish letters X, W, Q
which do not exist in the Turkish
alphabet has led to judicial persecution in 2000 and
2003
The Kurdish flag flown officially in Iraqi Kurdistan
but unofficially flown by Kurds in Armenia. The flag
is banned in Iran, Syria, and Turkey where flying it
is a criminal offence"
