“There is a great war and resistance under the leadership of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle against the assimilation and extermination policies of the fascist colonialist Turkish state that it wants to carry out against the Kurdish people. Freedom guerrillas, who frustrate every plan of the enemy, are approaching freedom more and more with this resistance.
Comrades Efterya, Alişer and Madura, who took their place in the guerrilla ranks against the invasion tendencies of the enemy, wrote their names in the history of resistance in the Serhat Province. Our comrades who sacrificially fought until their last rounds by writing heroic epics against the enemy, hit the enemy with heavy blows and joined the caravan of immortal martyrs.
We extend our condolences to the patriotic Kurdistan people, and especially the families of our heroic comrades who reached martyrdom, and we promise to carry the flag of freedom to victory. ”
