BEHDINAN – HPG Press Center stated the following regarding the guerrilla who was martyred in Garzan:
The invading Turkish army has carried out extensive and uninterrupted operations in the Hîzan area of Garzan since the beginning of July. In these operations, it bombarded the Hîzan area for days, using thousands of soldiers and contras, the war technique in his hands, warplanes and helicopters from the air, and armored vehicles from the land. It declared a curfew in dozens of villages, panicked and bombarded every living creature he saw in the field with great fear. The uninterrupted attacks of the Turkish army in Garzan for a month once again revealed what the enemy’s fear of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla was doing.
A group of our comrades, who resisted the uninterrupted enemy attacks and operations that developed for a month, made contact with the Turkish army several times, but all the attacks were in vain. Our comrade Rêdûr was injured during a contact with the enemy during this process. But he fought with great determination, never giving up, and resisted heroically in his last confrontation with the enemy. Our comrade Rêdûr was martyred on 27 July as a result of the intense bombardments carried out by the cowardly enemy, who could not risk a hand-to-hand confrontation with the guerrilla.
Our comrade Rêdûr’s entire life of struggle and the last 26 days of resistance is one of the greatest sacrifices that history has witnessed. It is a striking example of devotion to supreme values, determination and irreversible revolutionism. Although the Turkish state attacked with thousands of soldiers, dozens of warplanes, helicopters and armored vehicles, the unmatched courage and willpower displayed by these valiant comrades went down in history. Our people will never forget these folk heroes who had a very meaningful and valuable resistance. These self-defeating militants, who have a place in the hearts of the patriotic people of Kurdistan, will always be remembered.
With this feeling and belief, we extend our condolences to the valuable family of our comrade Rêdûr and all our patriotic people of Kurdistan. We promise that we will take firm steps towards victory by taking the self-sacrificing spirit and indomitable will of the Redûrs as an example, and that we will certainly achieve their goals.
