"We congratulate all oppressed peoples, the workers and peasants, women willing freedom, revolutionary youth, friends and families of the martyrs, fighters of revolution and all comrades for MLKP's 25th year of fight. This party, which we celebrate its 25th year, is the work of the martyrs. Before all, we commemorate all our immortal martyrs with respect and loyalty. These heroic martyrs themselves are the foundation of our party. Serkan Tosun, Suphi Nejat Ağırnaslı, Sibel Bulut, Oğuz Saruhan, Emre Aslan, İvana Hoffmann, Coşkun İnce, Sinan Sağır, Halil Aksakal, İsmet Şahin, Sevda Çağdaş, Ayşe Deniz Karacagil, Ruhat Aşkara, Sedat Akyüz, Erdal Demirhan, Yeliz Erbay, Şirin Öter, Veli Görgün, Ümit Yetik, Hüseyin Akçiçek, İrfan Gerçek and 33 Suruç Martyrs... All these martyrs were immortalized within this period of revolution, fighting in Rojava and other fields. We owe our existence to them and we will win by following their way. This is our word of honor. Once more we say it from our hearts: The martyrs of revolution are immortal! 

We must recognize the enemies of the revolution well and take a clear attitude towards them. All imperialist and colonialist states are the enemies of oppressed humanity. What is essential for them is nothing other than their interests. They do not care peoples' life, nor their rights. And they all want to re-divide the Middle East. Russia, America, Germany, France, Britain ... All these states are imperialists, the enemies of the revolutions and the oppressed peoples. We recognize their true face from Northern Kurdistan, from their support to the fascist Tayyip Erdogan, from Iraq, Vietnam and from their attitudes towards the revolutionaries. We all know their true face from the isolation and captivity of the leader of Kurdish people, Abdullah Öcalan. And we all believe that our revolution does also know this reality and act according to this.

It must not be forgotten that the future of the revolution depends on the organization of the people and on the socialization of the revolution. It is essential to organize this. This revolution is also a revolution of women. Therefore, the participation of women is important and vital. This fact has to be well understood and for this, the doors of the houses have to be open for the revolution. The revolution has to enter inside the houses. If we success this as a reality, then no power would defeat us. This is one of the most important development for the revolution and its condition is the change. On its 25th year, "change" is the call of MLKP to the oppressed peoples, and men in particular. We call them to grow and develop the revolution's culture and ideology in their lives. We need to embrace and progress the spirit and the manner of the revolution. Our oppressed peoples should participate more in the ranks of revolution and get organized in its institutions. This is the way which will protect us and carry to the victory.

Rojava revolution broke the plans of the colonialists and imperialists and grew the hope of peoples. Against all kinds of tyranny and oppression of the reactionary states and their patriarchal policies, this revolution paved the way for an libertarian and egalitarian life. On the very first days of the revolution, MLKP clearly stated that "this is our revolution" and immediately got into action according to this view. Because it was the right attitude for those who define themselves as revolutionary or communists. As a communist party, MLKP always tried to act in accordance with its role and mission with a modest amount of forces but with strong participation and determination. It has placed itself in both the military and political fields of the revolution.

MLKP is also a party of Kurdistan. It is organizing clandestinely in the Northern Kurdistan against fascism and the dictatorship. It carries on its revolutionary works in the cities and mountains of Kurdistan. As MLKP, we defend the unity of the 4 parts of Kurdistan and support the proposal for the National Democratic Congress to gather for this sake. We call KDP (Kurdistan Democratic Party) and Mesud Barzani to give up their wrong attempts to prevent this National Democratic Congress and remind them that if they do not give up, then they will be condemned by the history and the patriotic Kurdish people. Here we once again say it with all our heart and soul: "Long live Free Kurdistan!"

MLKP defends the idea of "regional revolutions" and considers the structures like federations and confederations as one of the ways for the solution. However, we know that the emancipation of the oppressed peoples resides in socialism! MLKP is struggling and fighting for this sake. With the internationalist spirit all over the world, MLKP is growing its struggle in different countries for communism. It defends the idea that classes and borders must be destroyed all over the world. It says that existing borders are not ours but of colonialists and fascists, so, we must fight in order to abolish these borders. MLKP opposes fascism and colonialism breaking the oppressed peoples apart through regard to their religion and nation; it counts all these discriminations as hostility. Against this dirty policies of them, MLKP uprises the flag of internationalism.

MLKP's 24 year passed with struggle and resistance. We have no doubt that the 25th year will continue as so. We have important tasks and works ahead of us. We believe that, no matter what happens, MLKP will keep on walking on the path of our immortal martyrs and uprise their weapons and flags. For this sake, just as our immortal martyrs, we will fight until the last bullet of our weapons, the last beat of our heart. We will grow the fires of revolution in every field. We will succeed together! This is our word of honor. Once more we promise that we will fight to make all these come true!"
