KCK issues 'August 15' call: PKK's 'first bullet day' celebration
The KCK, the umbrella organization of the PKK, has issued a call to "properly commemorate the heroes of the August 15 line." August 15, which is considered by the PKK as the "first bullet day" and "resurrection festival," is known to be celebrated by the organization every year.
The August 15 actions, which were initiated in 1984 with attacks on security forces in Eruh and Şemdinli, are defined by the PKK as the "beginning of the armed struggle."
Since that date, the organization has commemorated this day as a "festival" among its base with events and statements held every year.
In the KCK's call this year, the phrase "heroes of the August 15 line" stood out, while the permission for such events by the terrorist organization within the borders of Turkey has become a subject of debate.
Security sources emphasize that this call, made despite rhetoric suggesting that the PKK has shut down or laid down its arms, shows that the organization continues its ideological and symbolic activities.
