“On May 18, 2019, the invading Turkish army declared curfew in Derto village of Halfeti district of Urfa, insulted all the inhabitants of the village and committed severe torture.
On the same day, there were intense clashes between our two friends who were on duty in the area where the village is located, against the occupying Turkish army which lasted till the morning.
In this clash, two special operatives were killed, one of them being the deputy commissioner of the PÖH. Two special operatives were wounded.
Our comrades Laşer (Mesut Tutkal) and Tolhıldan (Mehmet Uluca) joined the caravan of immortal martyrs, in the resistance, with limited resources, against the intense attacks of the invaders.
The identity information of our comrades who reached martyrdom is as follows;

Comrade Laşer was born in 1991 in a matriotic environment in Bingöl. Our comrade Laşer, who saw the dirty games on the lands where the occupied Turkish state was born, joined the guerrilla ranks in 2014 against the denial and destruction concepts initiated against the Kurdish people and the movement. Coming to intense practice since the first day he joined the guerrilla, Comrade Laşer has become a model militant in a short time.
Comrade Laşer, whose essence is the word, has fully fulfilled all duties and responsibilities. He has won the love of all his comrades with his altruistic, enthusiastic and sincere participation in life. Coming deeply and vitalizing the ideology of the leadership, our comrade Laşer fought heroically and reached martyrdom in his last mission in Halfeti.
Our comrade Tolhıldan was born in 1995 in a matriotic family in the Suruç district of Urfa. Comrade Tolhıldan, who was born in Suruç, the land of resistance and heroism, joined the freedom movement in 2017, a period when the colonial Turkish state attacked the Kurdish people altogether.
Our friend Tolhıldan, who deepened himself in revolutionary measures in a short period of time, has had concise and altruistic participation in every field in which he operates. Comrade Tolhıldan, known for his workmanship, has approached the tasks of the period with complete sincerity and has successfully performed them.
Tolhıldan became one of our most active friends in the fight against the genocide war that the enemy wanted to wage in Kurdistan, and fought for the freedom of our people until his last breath.
Comrades Laşer and Tolhıldan fought to the end of their rounds and did not accept surrender and became the name of sacrificing resistance. Both of our friends, with the slogan of Martyr Haki Karer: “Surrender is betrayal, resistance leads to victory,” has shown a historical resistance against the enemy and has hit heavy blows. In any case, our heroic comrades had a dignified and revolutionary stance.
The resistance of our comrades is a message to us and a valuable stance and resistance worthy of Halfeti and that region. Both our resisting comrades and our people resisting there have great meaning and value. It should be known by everyone that we will live the memory of your martyrs and give the necessary response to the torture of our people sooner or later. No crime against the Kurdish people and their values will be unrequited.
On this basis, we send our condolences to the families of comrades Laşer and Tolhıldan who reached the martyrdom, to all the dear matriotic people of Kurdistan. On this note, we renew our promise that we will carry the legacy of martyrs to the struggle to victory.”
