Metropol Falcons celebrated Leader Apo’s birthday in Amed, Nisêbîn, Şırnex, Sêrt and many other cities.
In the written statement made by Metropol Şahinleri, it was said:
“Happy April 4, Leader Apo’s 73rd birthday, especially to our Leader, the Kurdish people, Kurdish women and youth, and all humanity. April 4 is the day when the Kurdish people are given the good news of rebirth and re-existence, the day when a free life was created and the Kurdish woman regained her own truth.
The birth of Leader Apo has a great truth and meaning in the history of the Kurdish people and Kurdish women. Because the Kurdish people see the birth of Leader Apo as their birth. It treats the slaver as the day when life and identitylessness come to an end. The birth of the leadership marked the beginning of the social, cultural, scientific, philosophical and historical definition in Kurdistan. This beginning turned into a renaissance of the Kurdish people, the Middle East and libertarian humanity with the Leader’s march for freedom.
When Leader Apo departed, the existence of the Kurdish people was on the verge of extinction. Invasive and genocidal politics in Kurdistan became dominant and dangerous. The states that invaded Kurdistan, especially the Turkish state, did not consider the Kurdish people as human and society. The freedom struggle that started under the leadership of Leader Apo has broken these rules and dealt a great blow to the mentality of the occupying and genocidal states. The Kurdish people have planted the seeds of hope, faith and a free life in the brains and hearts of their women and youth. When Leader Apo was only 7 years old, he waged a great war against sexism and social reaction.”
