🔥 August 15, 1984, the first shot.

   On September 12, 1980, the Turkish Armed Forces, led by General Kenan Evren, seized power in Turkey in a military coup. The constitution was suspended, parliament abolished, all political parties and trade unions banned, and martial law imposed throughout Turkey. Hundreds of thousands of people were tortured, thousands disappeared, around 650,000 people were arrested including journalists, many of whom were imprisoned and killed.

🔗 122 death sentences were issued against militants and sympathizers of the PKK, which then decided to transfer some of its members from Turkish-occupied Northern Kurdistan to Rojava, and then establish its own academies in Lebanon and Syria in order to begin political preparations and military forces that will lead to the offensive on August 15th. In the second party congress, which was held from 20 to 25 August 1982 in Daraa (Syria), it was in fact officially decided that the PKK would begin preparing an insurrection in Northern Kurdistan.

⚔️ After years of preparation, on 15 August 1984 the PKK launched its first major attack, led by commander Mahsum Korkmaz, nom de guerre Egîd, the Brave. Military objectives in the cities of Sêrt and Hakkari (Colemêrg) were simultaneously attacked and symbolically occupied, dealing a severe psychological blow to the Turkish regime and igniting hope in the Kurdish population of the north.

🌹Today this date is celebrated by Kurds in Kurdistan and in the diaspora with the name of Cejna Vejînê (Rebirth Festival). Commander Egîd, who fell in action on 28 March 1986, was said to have been buried by the Turkish state in a mass grave at Newala Kesaba, near Siirt. Every year thousands of people come to pay homage to the commander who fired the first shot.
