Realizing the genocide policies of the invaders against the Kurdish people at a young age, all three of our comrades who joined the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla have continuously trained themselves to become professional guerrillas since the day they joined.
The struggle flag of the comrades Eris, Star and Zilan, who clung tightly to the tasks of the struggle of the leader Apo and the desire to be at the forefront in the struggle for the freedom of the people of Kurdistan, is the most fundamental and most important task of our remaining comrades.
On this basis, while we commemorate our comrade Eris, Star and Zilan with respect, we express our condolences to all patriotic Kurdistan people and promise to live in the memory of our martyrs in free Kurdistan. ”
