Yeliz Erbay (Berçem) and Şirin Öter (Ekin)
On 22nd December 2015 two commander comrades, comrades Bercem and
Sirin, answered the counter-revolutionary police attack to annihilate
and the violence with their revolutionary will and violence. They
defended the party’s base they stayed at with their lives. By that they
joined the immortal comrades dying in the struggle for the revolution
and socialism. The two of them didn’t only support the Kurdish freedom
fighters’ and Kurdish peoples’ self-defence and armed resistance against
the colonial occupation that has lasted for months as from the West
meaning from Turkey but also showed the way for strengthening the united
revolutionary struggle and abolishing the colonial fascist
dictatorship. They also gave us the message that the womens’ will and
liberation could be won through revolutionary war practice and women
becoming commanders.
The resistance of the two comrades was a revolutionary vanguard
action against the fascist AKP ’s and T. Erdogan’s regime that attacks
the revolutionary movement, the Kurdish freedom movement and oppressed
with tyranny and brutality. It was a blaze. It was the action of
revolutionary militants steeled with revolutionary violence and will
against the colonial violence and siege.
There is no doubt that this revolutionary resistance can’t be
considered separately from the current political developments, the dirty
and reactionary war led by the fascist dictatorship within the country
and abroad. On the contrary, is is the currently necessary revolutionary
duty. It is the practice of our party MLCK‘s strategy and political
tactics. It is part of our party’s revolutionary struggle in Turkey,
Kurdistan, Rojava and the Middle East in the last years.
The outcome of this struggle is the practice of the FESK (Armed
Forces of the Poor and Oppressed). When we consider the FESK’s
historical and political struggle, we see examples of different means.
Removing obstacles in front of revolutionary organization and action,
the preparation of self-defence of people and revolutionary militants
and answering the demands for justice and rendering account are the
contents of FESK’s action. The preparation of the revolutionary
political violence and fighting power of the working class’ and
oppressed against the counter-revolutionary political violence and war,
its organization and defining will grow and develop through such
resistances and struggles of revolutionary vanguards.
The MLCP is the revolutionary war party of Turkey and Kurdistan. It
is the party of the regional revolution in the Middle East. At the same
time is the womens’ party leading a fight for the liberation of women.
It has revolutionary fighting organisations, experiences, tactics and
main lines It has dozens of party martyrs losing their lives in the
armed struggle. It has hundreds of revolutionary prisoners and will have
some in future. Thousands of members, activists, sympathizers were
arrested, tortured and will experience this in future, too.
The MLCP has used any means and form of struggle needed in the
political struggle for the class struggle. Within its 20 years of
struggle history, the party has used illegal and legal means, armed and
disarmed means, the parliamentary and peaceful way as well as barricades
and street resistances, unions and democratic organisations, cultural
and sporty activities, strikes and boycotts, group and mass violence
throughout its foundation and development. The members of the MLCP are
trained as revolutionary fighters and militants such as foreseen by the
statut and programme. They fulfil actions and take over duties needed by
the party and class struggle. Comrades Yeliz and Sirin organised their
lives and actions as wanted by the MLCP.
Comrade Yeliz (Bercem) was in the front of the struggle for the
revolution and socialism and realised “class suicide”. She cut all her
relations with the capitalist system, any open and hidden relations.
She fulfilled all duties given to her by the party with the full
conscious, responsibility and discipline. In the first years of her
being a revolutionary she used to work as a teacher and was active in
the union. She supported her comrades being illegally. In 2006 when her
party faced serious organizational attacks by the fascist regime there
was the need to become professionally revolutionary and work illegally.
Without the smallest doubt she stopped being a teacher and together with
her comrades, she worked actively in the party’s illegality always
being hunted by the police and facing difficult conditions. After 2010
she joined military training actions. For some time she was trained to
become a commander. And she trained hundreds of people herself.
At the same time comrade Bercem trained herself theoretically and
produced. She wrote articles on the women’s question and sex conscious.
And she fought against the patriarchal understanding and thoughts of
male comrades within the party. Her feeling for comradeship and justice
were very strong. She never had problems to get to know someone. She was
productive and active, a revolutionary militant.
Comrade Sirin was an oppressed labourer women, oppressed due to her
ethnicity, religion and class. The society and history she came from is
full with great resistances and fights. She was a comrade who used to
work in the textile sector and supported the militant actions in the
borough at the same time. She was a communist comrade whose diligence
and discipline were adorable. She was always very interested in military
actions and joined the trainings. She was full of rage against fascism
and capital. She fought with the working class and oppressed peoples’
revolutionary class rage and violence. Together with comrade Bercem she
realised revolutionary actions against the counter-revolutionary focus.
The way to become a female commander made her free from day to day.
Their revolutionary fighting will and resistances are an example for us!
Comrades Yeliz and Şirin will live in our struggle!
