BEHDINAN – HPG Press Center stated the following regarding the martyred guerrillas:
“Within the framework of the Cenga Xabûrê Martyr War Maraş Revolutionary Campaign, where great heroism took place, heavy blows were dealt to the enemy almost every day in the Resistance Zones. As a result of the effects of our revolutionary move, in which helicopters were shot down, the bodies of enemy soldiers and many military equipment were seized, the enemy had to withdraw from many areas. This revolutionary move, which even the enemy soldiers could not get their heads out of the positions many times, has undoubtedly reached a certain level as a result of the unique efforts of our heroic martyrs. In this revolutionary move, our comrades Nîrvana and Welat, who fought with a mobile team style and dealt heavy blows to the enemy by successfully using the new era guerrilla tactics from sabotage to assassination, from infiltration to heavy weapon actions, reached martyrdom on August 26, 2022.
We extend our condolences to all our patriotic people of Kurdistan, especially to the esteemed families of our comrades Nîrvana, Welat, Munzur, Egîd and Êrîş, who made great efforts in the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle and became exemplary militants by adhering to our Leader, our martyrs and the freedom values of our people until their last breath.

NIRVANA NİNHURSAG
Our Qoser people, who have produced leading cadres since the first years of our Freedom Struggle in Bakure Kurdistan, continue their loyalty to our party PKK with unwavering faith and self-sacrifice. With her patriotic stance during the periods when the enemy attacked the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle most intensely, she embraced our struggle for freedom and set an example for all our people of Kurdistan with hundreds of valiant sons she sent to the guerrilla ranks. Our comrade Nîrvana was born and raised in a patriotic family in such a folk reality. It has grown with the deep-rooted culture that our people have filtered for thousands of years from their family and the environment they live in. For this reason, it has always been committed to freedom and has not accepted the colonial position of our people. Our comrade Nîrvana knew our Party from an early age, sought to fulfill her responsibilities towards our people as a young woman during her youth. She met Kurdish youth, who were patriotic like herself, during her time at university, and was involved in youth work at a certain level in the university environment. However, in 2014, which represents an important period for our people, the attack of ISIS gangs on our people in Shengal and Rojava and the development of massacres prompted our comrade Nîrvana to fight more. The fact that gangs massacred our people, especially Kurdish women, and sold them as slaves in the markets determined the line of struggle of our comrade Nîrvana.
After a short training, our comrade Nîrvana, who went to the fronts where the war was most intense, gave strength to her comrades with his courage and determined stance, and benefited from the experiences of her comrades in the military sense. Our comrade Nîrvana, who was constantly intensifying in order to successfully fight against the gangs, wanted to have more control over the tactics and style of the war. She trained herself with the awareness that success will only come with a war to be waged with the right tactic. Our comrade Nîrvan has improved herself in the field of sabotage, which requires high sensitivity, knowledge, patience and tactical creativity, neutralized hundreds of mines used by the gangs to massacre our people, thus preventing possible massacres against our people with great courage. She has been extremely successful in this work that she carried out with patience and stubbornness and which she always enjoyed doing and tried to fulfill her responsibilities towards our people by carrying out successful actions against the gangs in the Manbij and Tabqa operations in which she took part. Our comrade Nîrvana, who was loved and valued by all her comrades with her sincere companionship, unwavering participation and desire to learn something from each of his comrades, has always strived to be worthy of this respect and love of her comrades. Our comrade Nîrvana, who managed to overcome the difficulties she experienced with a great will, has always made greater breakthroughs. She rushed to the war front without a moment’s hesitation against the enemy’s attack on Afrin in 2018, tried to protect our people by fighting with great effort and sacrifice at every moment of the resistance. After Afrin was occupied and massacres were committed against our people, she promised to avenge these massacres from the invading Turkish state and decided to join the guerrilla ranks where she could do it in the best way possible.
After joining the guerrilla ranks, our comrade Nîrvana primarily aimed to deepen herself in the philosophy of the Leadership and to create the Ideology of Women’s Freedom in her personality. For this, she went through a training process with a group of female comrades. She tried to understand our Leader’s Women’s Freedom Ideology during the education process and to bring it to life successfully. By integrating the noble stance of Mêrdîn women with the Leadership ideology, she started to take her first steps towards being a free woman. After successfully completing his education, our comrade Nîrvana, who has been working in many different fields, shared her military experiences with her comrades and played an important role in making them competent guerrilla. Against the invasion attacks launched by the enemy against Medya Defense Areas, sh wanted to make her anger at the enemy the basis of a successful struggle and insisted on going to the battlefields. She wanted to be with her comrades who were fighting against the enemy in the war tunnels and in the form of mobile teams. Our comrade Nîrvana, who achieved this goal, took part in the mobile teams and turned to the Girê Amediyê Resistance Area, where great heroic epics were written. She carried out many successful actions against the enemy with the mobile teams she was in, tried to lighten the burden of her comrades resisting in the war tunnels and tried to show her loyalty to them with her actions. Our comrade Nîrvana, who fought selflessly in the successful action they carried out against the enemy on August 26, 2022, managed to stick to the values of freedom until her last breath.

WELAT MORELO
Our people of Rojhilatê Kurdistan, who gave the strength of resistance to all our people of Kurdistan with their devotion to their freedom and their unceasing resistance for this, and increased the hope of freedom with every martyr they buried, continue to carry the flag of the resistance with their struggle against the invaders today. Our comrade Welat was born in a patriotic family in Kirmanşan, the ancient city of Rojhilatê Kurdistan, whose patriotism caused the wind of freedom to blow across Kurdistan. Since his family saw the freedom of our people and sympathized with our party PKK, he recognized our Party from an early age. Again, the fact that his family joined the guerrilla ranks deeply affected our comrade Welat and he dreamed of the day he would join the guerrilla. Our comrade Welat, who closely followed the resistance that developed in the person of the freedom guerrilla in Kurdistan, was impressed like every honorable Kurdish youth when the guerrilla selflessly resisted the massacres against our people in many areas, especially in Shengal. Believing that he must fulfill his responsibilities towards our people, he decided to join the guerrilla ranks, which he sees as the area where he can fulfill this in the most effective way.
Our comrade Welat, who joined the guerrilla ranks in 2016, has made great improvements in his personality in a short time with the energy of his youth and the clarity of his participation. He has fully involved himself in the struggle and has made every effort to enlarge his struggle at every moment. For this, he has constantly trained and developed himself. As a young guerrilla, he deepened himself militarily in order to have an active struggle against the enemy. In particular, it was based on deepening in the tactics of the new period. He believed that our freedom struggle would be successful with professional guerrilla units, and for this he wanted to reach Democratic Modernity Guerrillaism in the ideological and philosophical sense as well as in the military field. On this basis, he trained and strengthened himself. Our comrade Welat, who embodied the training he received in a short time, is honest, simple, With his mature and modest personality, he won the love of all his comrades and became a comrade to work with.

Realizing this request, our comrade Welat joined the mobile teams and crossed into the Girê Amediyê Resistance Area, one of the areas where the war was most intense. In Girê Amediyê, where the enemy could not break the resistance despite all their techniques and chemical weapons, our comrade Welat dealt effective blows with the actions he carried out together with our comrade Nîrvana. He pioneered actions in which many guerrilla tactics, from assassination to sabotage and infiltration, were used in a creative way. Our comrade Welat, who struck blows to the enemy by infiltrating into the enemy positions when necessary, with the assassination tactic from afar when necessary, succeeded in becoming one of the leading militants of the resistance. His courage, his anger at the enemy and his willingness to turn this anger into action gave morale and strength to his comrades with whom he worked.

MUNZUR ZİLAN
Our comrade Munzur was born in a patriotic family in Cizîra Botan, which never compromised its dignified life stance against all the oppression and massacres of the enemy and paid a great price for this cause. Our party naturally recognized the PKK from an early age due to the fact that his family and close circle joined the guerrilla ranks and he lived in one of the centers of our freedom struggle like Cizîr. Since he grew up in Cizîr, where the first serhildan took place against the enemy and was home to leading public militants such as Binevş Egal, he grew up with the valor stories of these folk heroes and always emulated them. Party loyalty, which was more emotionally based in childhood, became aware of the reality of the enemy from the youth period, Our party has evolved into an ideological allegiance because it has brought the PKK’s struggle against this hostile reality to consciousness. In his youth, he entered into a struggle in certain dimensions with many of his friends like himself, and he understood the indispensability of self-defense against the attacks of the enemy against our people. It was included in the self-defense units created for this purpose.

Our comrade Munzur, who was in a different area for a different work during the times when the enemy carried out a massacre against our people in Cizîr, was deeply saddened by not being with his comrades who were resisting the enemy. He has always been under the influence of this situation and has made it the reason to struggle more. The martyrdom of many childhood friends and the massacres against our people in the Self-Government Resistance drew our comrade Munzur into the struggle even more. Again, the intense attacks against the Rojava Freedom Revolution and the massacres against our people there determined the line of struggle of our comrade Munzur. Our comrade Munzur, who joined the freedom forces in Rojava, took part in the war against ISIS gangs in this area for a long time. With his active participation in the war process, he managed to have an important practical experience. Our comrade Munzur, who had the opportunity to develop himself in the ideological sense as well as in the military sense, wanted to make this level the basis of an effective struggle against the genocidal Turkish state. He realized that the most correct place for this was the Kurdistan mountains.
On this basis, he turned his face to the mountains of Kurdistan in 2020 and joined the guerrilla ranks. With the great enthusiasm and excitement of reaching the mountains of Kurdistan, which he had longed for since his childhood, he quickly became integrated with the mountain and guerrilla life. Our comrade Munzur, who started to work on Hêzên Taybet, which he sees as the place where he can best organize his great devotion to the martyrs and his deep anger towards the enemy, managed to become a competent guerrilla in a short time with the training he received here. Hêzên Taybet has revealed her potential better in her work. Our comrade Munzur, who defines freedom as constantly setting new goals and reaching these goals, has always managed to be at the forefront with his determined walk on this path of freedom. Thanks to his personality, which does not tolerate failure in any way, he completes every work he starts by succeeding, Our comrade Munzur, who has always found a way out thanks to his high creative and practical intelligence even when he faced difficulties, has succeeded in having a participation that gives confidence to his comrades until the end. This structure was reflected in his entire struggle life. With his high tempo in the struggle and his impressive and collectible style, he has become a promising pioneer commander candidate who can color any environment he is in, has a decisive position in the foreground. For this reason, he was loved and valued by all his comrades. He wanted to fight against the colonialist Turkish state in Bakure Kurdistan in order to avenge all our martyrs, especially his childhood friends, who became martyrs, and to bring our people to the freedom they deserve, with the education he received and the deep concentrations he made.
However, when the enemy developed invasion attacks against Medya Defense Zones, he wanted to take part in the resistance fronts. He has been constantly striving for this. He wanted to put the deep concentrations he lived into action against the enemy, and especially to support his comrades who were resisting in the war tunnels. Our comrade Munzur, who adopted the sacrifice as a lifestyle and managed to reflect this in every moment of his life, was immortalized by reaching martyrdom in the enemy attack that took place in the Girê Amediyê Resistance Area, where he was again for a task that requires great courage, sacrifice, sensitivity and creativity. As his comrades, we promise that we will carry the struggle of our comrade Munzur, handed over to us, to victory and that we will make his dreams come true.

Although he wanted very much to be with his comrades who resisted in the war tunnels, he could not realize this request due to the originality of his work, but he always felt his comrades and was with them. Our comrade Egîd, who was martyred in the enemy attacks in July, will always continue to lead us with his martyrdom, as he did in his life of struggle.
