The month of November has a special significance for us. It is the month we devote to our most precious ones, the martyrs of the revolution.
On November 3, 1994, our comrade Erdal Balci became immortalized during an action proclaiming the unity revolution of our party with a banner through a skirmish with the fascist police in Istanbul. As the first martyr of our party, he has become a sign of sacrifice and dedication of the class struggle. It is these qualities that have shaped the revolutionary nature of our Party, and with Comrade Erdal, the party has become the party of the immortals. In the years of their struggle dozens of revolutionaries became immortal.
Comrade Aliser Dersim was again killed in a fight with the fascist Turkish state in Nurhak and Comrade Ayse Deniz Karacagil during the liberation of Rakka.
Every pain of the loss of a comrade reminds us of our attachment to the revolution and of the task they put in our way. For us, commemoration means to fight for them, to realize their dreams and to dedicate their victory to them.
The concrete expression of the bond with the martyrs is the strengthening of the struggle with even more devotion, even more sacrifice and solidarity.
Our party sees herself in this sense as a party of the self-sacrificing. The martyrs are a source of strength. They are the beacon that carries the light into the darkness. They strengthen our morals and our will.
We commemorated our martyrs in November through many commemorative events in Europe, Turkey, Northern Kurdistan, Rojava, in prisons, on the streets, at their graves, in the illegal party cells.
The militias of the MLKP have realized in several actions commemoration on the streets in the working quarters. Banners were hung in Alibeyköy, agitations were made in Gazi . In Rojava our fighters organized several commemorative events. At the grave of the comrade Sevda Cagdas, who became immortal in the liberation of Minbis, there was a commemoration. In Brussels, London, Cologne, Stuttgart, Vienna, Paris and Bordeaux events were organized in memory of all the martyrs of the revolution.
With these commemorative actions and each and every day of our struggle, we promise our fallen that we will continue on their journey in the best possible way. We dedicate every victory to them.
On the path of the martyrs, to the revolution, to victory, to socialism!
