The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has announced the convening of its 12th Conference during the current month of May and stated that the outcomes will be announced in the coming period.

In a public statement published by the Firat News Agency (ANF), the PKK declared that its 12th Conference was held between May 5th and 7th.

The statement noted that the conference took place at two different locations within the Medya defense areas in South Kurdistan and that the results will be shared soon.

The statement reads:

"The 12th Conference of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was successfully held in the Medya defense areas from May 5 to 7. The Conference was held simultaneously in two different locations, with the participation of representatives and delegates from all regions where the party operates.

The Conference was convened based on a call from Leader Abdullah Ocalan. A tribute was paid to Leader Apo with great longing and respect, and the views and proposals he presented for the Conference were read and evaluated. The summary report of the PKK Central Committee was also read and discussed during the Conference.

In this context, the 12th Conference of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party made historically significant decisions regarding the party’s work, based on Leader Apo’s call.

The participants commemorated the Month of Martyrs and all heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives over 52 years of historic struggle with respect, love, and gratitude. The Conference called on our people and all democratic socialist forces to properly honor and commemorate our martyrs, embracing the democratic and national values of the great 52-year struggle.

They also remembered Martyr Sirri Sureyya Onder with respect and gratitude, one of the individuals who made great efforts in organizing the Conference, and called on everyone to work together to achieve the goals of peace and a democratic society for this precious person who was a comrade of Leader Apo for 12 years.

The results of the 12th PKK Conference and comprehensive, detailed information and documents regarding the decisions taken will be shared with the public in the very near future, once the results from the two locations are consolidated.

On the same basis, we once again commemorate all our heroic martyrs with respect and gratitude in the name of our great first martyr, comrade Haki Karer, and we call on our people and democratic friends to remember our heroic martyrs everywhere and to escalate the struggle even further for the physical freedom of Leader Apo.

Martyrs are immortal

Long live Leader Apo"
