Our comrade, who dedicated himself to the freedom of his people and Leader Apo since the first day he joined, has come to the forefront with his labour and sacrificial stand in life. Working with great responsibility in every field, Comrade Bêkes has fulfilled his pioneering mission in the best way with the awareness of protecting his people and being the sacrifice of his people.
He took part in the group that made the first intervention to the ISIS gangs in order to protect his people, and fought heroically against the gangs and reached martyrdom.
We send our condolences to all our patriotic people of Kurdistan, and especially the precious family of our comrade Bêkes who has reached martyrdom. We promise that we will keep heightening the struggle for a free tomorrow, which is the dream of our martyrs. ”
