Speaking at the ceremony, HPG commander Baran Ararat paid tribute to all the martyrs of the revolution in the person of Egîd (Mahsum Korkmaz), the commander of the 15 August Initiative, when the first bullet was fired at the Turkish state.
Commander Ararat saluted the Kurdish People's Leader #Abdullah Öcalan# , all guerrillas and the patriotic Kurdish people, stating that forty years have passed since that important day, and said: The real meaning of this step was that the first bullet was fired at the slave mentality and colonialists.
Commander Ararat, who stated that the first bullet was fired not only against the occupation but also against internal betrayal and selling oneself to the enemy, said: This breakthrough was not only military. It was the intellectual power, courage and philosophy of the Kurdish people.
