Our struggle against colonialism on the basis of the ideology of freedom of Leader Apo and the struggle developed by our people has moved to a very important stage today. Undoubtedly, this struggle and resistance, which our people and our movement on the basis of the ideology of freedom of Leader Apo today reveals itself and great successes. These achievements were achieved thanks to our heroic martyrs who believed in the victory of the ideology put forward by Leader Apo and poured to the mountains of Kurdistan, where this struggle emerged.
Agir Çatak (Fetullah Sarıbulak) and Rêber Botan (Orhan Darga) friends joined the caravan of martyrs as a result of clashes with the enemy in the area of Geliyereş in Xakurke during the invasion attacks of the fascist Turkish state against Southern Kurdistan on February 9, 2019.
Based on the success of the Kurdistan struggle, these valuable comrades, who struggled for the freedom of Leader Apo and the people of Kurdistan, and succeeded in victory in this cause, are the heroes who managed to bring together the patriotic spirit in their essence, the indomitable resilience of the PKK and the Apoist essence. It is the sole duty of us, comrades and every patriotic Kurdish youth, to embrace the memories of these precious martyrs and to wave the great flag of freedom left to us.
We wish our condolences to all the people of Kurdistan, especially the valuable Sarıbulak and Darga families, and promise that we will carry the flag of freedom left to us by our friends who have been martyred, as their comrades. ”
