Comrade Beritan, who participated in the Struggle for Freedom to defend Kurdistan against the invaders, has enthusiastically joined the guerrilla since the first day. Comrade Beritan, who has great goals, has continuously improved herself and fulfilled her term duties in the best way. Comrade Beritan, who has a great responsibility for life and her environment, has become popular among her comrades.
Comrade Beritan who actively participated in the war against the fascist AKP-MHP government was one of our hero comrades who never made concessions to the enemy until the last moment.
Comrade Hevi Viyan was born in a matriotic environment in the Beytüşşebap district of Şırnak. Coming to the struggle for freedom at a young age, Comrade Hevi participated in a period when attacks on the Kurdish people of the genocidal Turkish state intensified.

Comrade Bawer Serdeşt was born in 1991 in the city of Serdeşt in Rojhilat Kurdistan. Growing up with the oppression policies of the colonialists over the Kurds and shaped by their own values despite the enemy, our friend Bawer joined the guerrilla ranks at a young age. Adopting the national aspect of the PKK, which is the common struggle value of four parts of Kurdistan and participating in this struggle with great heart, our friend Bawer became one of our comrades who participated in the fight against the Kurdish people in any field in any genocide.
Our friend, Bawer, has approached every mission on the basis of great responsibility and has done a great deal of effort and accomplished his duties successfully. Comrade Bawer, a competent guerrilla commander with his training and experiences, has been in constant active struggle against the enemy.
Our friend, Rubar Serhıldan, was born in Dırbesiye and managed to be one of his own values despite all the pressure of the enemy. At a young age, he joined the ranks of the struggle for the freedom of the Kurdish people against enemy reality.
Rubar, who participated in the short time he spent in the guerrilla ranks with youth energy, became one of our friends who knew how to heroically walk towards freedom.
We send our condolences to the precious families of all our matriotic people and friends; and especially to the families of the comrades who have reached martyrdom in Besta and the Zagroses; Beritan, Hevi, Bawer, and Rubar. On this note, we renew our promises to continue the struggle of the comrades until the freedom of our people and their ideals have been achieved.
