The Communist Revolutionary Movement (TKŞ), issued a statement in the second year of the Turkish occupation in Afrin:

"2 years ago an important part of the land in Rojava the Afrin canton has been occupied by Turkey and its gangs which was internationally supported with a concept of a siege. The occupier Turkish state which followed a tactics to strangulate our revolution with step by step occupation suffered great losses confronting a will of steel, during the 2 months lasting resistance of the age. The fascist, invading Turkish state, which did not proceed even one step without its heaviest technique, started the occupation movement with the approval of primarily the Russian, American and international imperialist states and colonial regional states.
Opening the airspace of Russia, the US, UN, EU and other imperialist states remained silent during the weeks and months in which Turkey and its gangs commited crimes against humanity. Because they are all people's enemies, they are all enemies of revolution. The common purpose of all is to break the Rojava revolution and women's will, which represents a garden of peoples and freedoms. And it is not a coincidence that Afrin, which represents the Kurds, Arabs, Alevis, Armenians and the women's will and people's brotherhood is targeted. During the occupation period, hundreds of civilian people, children, women and elderly people were massacred. After hundreds of fighter were martyred and the epic resistance that lasted for 2 months, the Turkish Republic and its gangs that occupied Afrin started to change the demographic structure by placing family members of gangs in Afrin and then the people's homes, goods were plundered, historical places were destroyed and tens of thousands of olive trees symbolized by Afrin were cut. They started an ecological destruction. Civilian people were kidnapped, tortured and raped. With this occupation movement, the Turkish Republic, which once again put the occupation landscapes of the Ottoman in Efrin, targeted the common life of the peoples of the region, which gained the freedoms of the Kurdish people, primarily through the Rojava revolution. They aimed to destroy the gains of women's will, which had retarded the thousands years lasting patriarchy. But they could not achieve their goals. Rojava and Northern Syrian peoples continued to claim their gains in the face of this invasion attack.

This concept of destroying by the Turkish state, which is its reason for existence, continued with the occupation of Serêkaniyê and Gîre Spî. The imperialist powers and the colonialist regional states want to impose surrender by directly or indirectly supporting this occupation movement, pulling the achievements of the revolution to the lowest point.

We, as the Communist Revolutionary Movement, once again repeat our promise to all our peoples to thousands of martyrs who were martyred in the Rojava revolution and Afrin defense. We will defend our revolution and achievements with the resistance manifesto of Avestas, Barin, Tirêj, Free, Zeynells, Adlar and Gulan. The liberation of Afrin, Serêkaniyê, Girê Spî and all lands under occupation is our reason for existence. "
