My name is Rezzan Andok, I was born in 1986 in Diyarbakır Silvan. I am originally from the village of Beştarak (Golaye) in the Kozluk district of Batman. I was born and raised there because the family migrated to the Silvan district of Diyarbakır due to state pressure and economic reasons. My family is patriotic. It has a tradition of preserving its patriotism and taking a stand against the enemy, especially at a time when studies were intense and these studies had a serious impact on the environment. In addition, it was not difficult for me to meet the party, as the environment I grew up in had the same attitude. The fact that I experienced the period when the conflicts spread to Silvan, the state’s counter-guerrilla organization, Hezbollah’s massacres and unsolved murders were intense, had a serious impact on my interest and participation in the party. While the events experienced, the pressure of the state on the family (especially my father was often detained and tortured at that time), caused my feelings of anger and revenge against the enemy to develop, however, I can say that this created a great longing and passion for the organization. However, I cannot say that I developed a consciousness that would lead me to practice as much as I did not have a power that I could do in a practical sense at that time. I was heading towards the school, which was the place of corruption of the enemy, with the full support of more families. In the words of the family, I was giving the will and effort to “become a great man”. Because I believed that I could only respond to such a terrible enemy by being a great man. Although I felt that the personality formed over time, let alone hitting the enemy, a cooperation with the enemy developed, it required a great deal of persuasion and effort to explain this to the family and the environment. I didn’t have the capacity to do that. However, I always tended to be stronger through my friendships, and to keep my anger alive against the enemy. I believed that I should never forget this: As my anger towards the enemy and my passion for the party grew, great longing and great “REVENGE” would come true.
I started working at a young age. As I worked, I saw the creations of the Leader, got excited and got morale. But I still did not have a theoretical background. Only my emotions and my hatred of the enemy kept me organised. It was enough to motivate my friends around me to a certain extent. But as the responsibility and consciousness developed, I felt that I had to turn to the right struggle to understand the Leadership. I knew very well that even though the grudge and hatred I had formed had a great impact on my own in the beginning, it was insufficient in terms of fully self-sacrificing participation in the party. There are historical events that can lead to turning points and new formations in the life of every person. From my point of view, I would like to mention a few incidents that are equivalent to this event. First, in the ’92 or ’93 period, there were units around me in the form of militia organization. Once, one of these groups resisted for hours as a result of the conflict with the state forces, and at the end, there were four testimonies. Some of the methods applied to these testimonies were not acceptable. The bodies of friends who fell martyrs as a result of the resistance: Hadi, Feremez, Nazmi and Vedat were played with, their brains were removed and fried in a pan. If an honorable and conscientious person takes this incident as a basis for himself, he carries the greatest hatred in the world and is enough to develop a great sense of revenge against the enemy. When I remember this event, I question what the human condition has become.
Second: The Leader’s capture as a result of an international conspiracy in ’99 and the environment that was intended to be created. It came as a serious shock to me and developed a great passion for the Leader. It was as if everything was over and everyone was going to be taken and killed one by one. Of course, this is an important event in terms of explaining what the Leadership means to the Kurdish people. So everyone was done. Because the Leadership was everything for the Kurdish people.
As a third important event, after I started to participate slowly, the martyrdom of Viyan Soran in the winter of 2006 caused a serious shock to me and led me to concentrate seriously. He was introduced to the concept of “FEDAI” for the first time, and it enabled my searches to gain a course in this direction. In the struggles for freedom, the dominant system tried to suppress and suppress the resistance with insidious, conspiratorial and dirty methods. The Turkish state has also recklessly turned to the people, the movement and the Leadership whenever it has the opportunity. He tried to use the harsh conditions of the Imrali system as a trump card, especially by aggravating the isolation conditions towards the Leader, and to impose this on the staff and the public. Undoubtedly, the enemy did this when the squad and the fighters were ineffective. In this respect, the Imrali isolation is aggravated, especially during the periods when the staff is unresponsive, without resistance, and weak. As heavy trends develop, bouncer stances express what should be. The PKK is a party that laid the groundwork for the revival of the passion for freedom in Kurdistan, with its self-sacrificing personality and stance, and created the reality of a self-sacrificing struggle. That’s why we say that “fedaiyya is the living essence of the PKK.” A bouncer is a party and its biggest bouncer is the Leadership. Doubting this and not doing what is necessary is the greatest betrayal. Fedailik is always the most free action of the people, the society and the individual as free will and conscientious responsibility, and is the focus where the greatest comradeship peaks. Bouncers take action for the values they trust. Our biggest aim is to be loyal to the Leader with this aspect, and to be a beloved comrade and bodyguard of the Leader’s line. As soon as the individual can see this reality and be able to do it, he/she must decide to be a companion to the mountains, which are the place of freedom, and to his comrades.
(….)
There is an all-out attack. We can only nullify this conspiracy by resisting altogether. The leadership, with the new paradigm, philosophy, tactics and strategy it created for its own sake, destroyed the conspiracy, and reflected the spirit of the new era with its “I don’t want to meet” attitude. We need to meet the process with a stance that is equivalent to this spirit. Spirit is the spirit of resistance. Spirit is the spirit of serhildan. And now is the time for victory, freedom and success. He believes in this, and we are very lucky to be the bouncer of it. Not arrest, detention, genocide, assimilation, stopping this people, a thousand atomic bombs can’t stop us anymore.

LONG LONG OUR STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM
To my family…
Although I have no doubt that you will understand all the points I wrote in my report, although I decided not to write an article addressed to you at first, I wanted to express a few points especially so that you are aware of the enemy’s press games. I believe that you understand me and I state that I am very attached to you, with the fear that maybe my action will reflect differently on television and the press. No one makes the decisions in the PKK, historical responsibilities and conscientious considerations lead people to make decisions. I want you to know this well: This life was chosen entirely of my own will and I decided to take such an action. I missed you so much during my time in the guerrilla. Although I had the opportunity to call and reach a few times, I thought that it would cause trouble for both you and my action, which I prepared myself, and I did not call. I know you will be honored by this action. You also know that there is no crying behind the bouncers, they are proud. That’s why I say, greet me strong, shout your hatred towards the enemy, protect your culture and language. At this point, I would like to give a self-criticism; In the guerrilla environment, since there were not many friends to talk to, I could not fully protect my language despite my efforts in the last period. But I always spoke like that in my dreams and in my dreams. Since I don’t know much, I don’t know exactly who did what, who died, but I want them to know that I love all my people and fight for them. I’ve only seen my father on TV a few times, he’s worn out and old. I think he should take care of his health. I will not forget their contribution to my involvement in such a struggle. I owe it to him, I believe I will pay with such style. My dear mother, I was scared when I realized that you were the first to feel that I was going to join. Then I realized that you are with me until the end. And I’m fighting for you too, you knew that. You have always felt the pain of all mothers. I want you to be strong. I know that I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for your morals, upbringing and education. For this I am actually your act. I’m in love with you, I’m committed, I love you so much. And I say absolutely, don’t cry if you want to own me, you have to be strong, with my endless love, your son REZZAN

Êrîş Dîdar – Cengiz Özer Friend’s Bouncer Action Letters
Every person shows a development equivalent to the situation in which he was born and the people he belongs to when he is born. Of course, without forgetting the fact that the name of life for the Kurdish people is “DEATH”, we are condemned to live in a life struggle outside our own identity and reality, in which all kinds of genocides are tried on being convinced to live with a false and false history, and in fact we are condemned not to live in the system of capitalist modernity. We were trying to live by being dragged in the webs he had spun. People do not know how to act and defend themselves in the face of things they cannot name. In such a false world, when personality and family distortions are added, there are lives that are difficult to get out of.
(…)
The leadership’s exit clearly showed us both our own Kurdish reality, the calculations made on our destruction, and the policy of destruction and denial, clearly showing that the Kurdish people have no choice but to fight for their own freedom from now on, and that this is only in the ranks of the PKK around the Leadership. The Kurds can take the place they deserve in the world by understanding the networks of the system that capitalism has woven in the Middle East and especially in Kurdistan, thanks to the PKK, which takes the role of being the pioneer of the moral and political society and pays a great price for it, and by acting with it.
In the present time, the nation-state understanding of capitalism has come to a dead end. While a system that has completely exposed itself is experiencing its last struggles, the peoples of the Middle East, the birthplace of humanity, have also rebelled to live with their own free will. People are struggling to open new windpipes for their incessant passion for free life. When a young person sets himself on fire, the understanding of the nation-state, like a domino, is being destroyed one by one. Of course, the system does not stand still and it is obvious that they have increased their support for those who will play the role of Trojan horse in order to take credit for these honorable popular resistances. Since the PKK will be the most influential part of this new Middle East design, the henchmen of the USA and the T.C. they are trying to get the Kurds under their grip in every way. Hegonomic power knows that; Most popular uprisings in the Middle East are disorganized, without vanguard, and without ideology, meaning they have no alternative systems to capitalism. The Kurdish people, on the other hand, are very determined, faithful and experienced in establishing democratic modernity, an alternative to the system, with the experience and struggle they gained at the ideological-military level, organized around Leader Apo. This is what will break the back of the system. The world is playing three monkeys against all the genocide and massacres against the Kurds. While the Middle East is being reshaped, the Kurds will get the free life they deserve, no matter what the cost. The Kurds will leave their mark on the process described as the Arab spring. Thanks to the tremendous tradition of resistance it created by relying on the strength of the Kurdish people, the PKK will establish the peoples’ democratic confederal system without relying on any power. As long as there are people and communities with dignity, personality, honor and dignity fighting for democracy, socialism and free life. There is no technology or system that can stand in the way of the unity of peoples.
(…)
The Kurdish people have always embraced the struggle with their heroism. But the process we are in requires a much higher level of ownership and resistance. This necessity must come before all material and spiritual things. Now, the Kurds must live freely in a Kurdistan that has gained a free and status under their Leadership, no matter what the cost. For us, this process makes it an obligation to realize them. As the oldest people in the world, we want to govern ourselves and live with our own free will. The Kurdish people will do this with their determination.
Young people have proven that they are the most dynamic power of society with their stance that shapes history. For the youth of Kurdistan, it must now turn everywhere into a field of action and join the guerrilla ranks to lead the struggle to further success. Kurdish youth should participate in the process by enlarging the circle of fire around the Kurdish people and their Leadership, and should be the guarantee of freedom.
We, as guerrillas, can only respond to the rising struggle of the Kurdish people with our practice and actions. As Kurdish freedom guerrillas, we will always fight and fight to the last drop of our blood for the freedom of the Kurdish people. In the past, we were always ashamed of our Kurdishness, we were always shown as a cursed people and always bowed our heads. But now the Kurds are fighting for their freedom and show that they exist with their struggle. We will no longer bow our heads to anyone. Whoever tries to put us in the place of sacrificial sheep, we must sacrifice him. They used to say for the Kurds; When two Kurds come side by side, they cannot get along, they always fight. The leadership created such a Kurdish spirit that; now millions of Kurds everywhere are standing up for the same struggle. With this great take-off, it is necessary to hit the enemy well with the final blow. With this awareness, as a son of you, it is a great duty for me to be a martyr of this honorable freedom struggle of my people.
Every patriotic person must struggle with the duty and responsibility brought by this process, organize every house and neighborhood in which he lives and develop resistance. No Kurd should forget this: Kurds are a people who have always been left alone and desolate, and we should not hope for help from anyone. In the face of every attack against us, the eyes of the world do not see, its ears do not hear, and its voice is not heard. These facts should bind us together more. Only then can we be free.
(…)
Every person lives for a purpose after a certain awareness. Until I was 20, I always tried to organize my life by trying to be worthy of you. As I tried to be your good child, I was actually moving away from the reality of my country and my people. The love of country and freedom did not develop. Believe me, since I know your labor and effort on me, I think that I can only answer this question by fighting for a free tomorrow in the struggle for freedom. No one can handle himself independently from his environment. I definitely missed you. There have been many times when I remember you. In fact, to say this; You had certain labors on me. You knew my decision to join the PKK. Maybe I didn’t want you to know in the first place. But over time, I’m glad we discussed these issues before we left, and I think you agree with me. So I have told you clearly and precisely why I am joining. While I was in the organization, my mother started to become the valuable patriotic mothers of Kurdistan. My family, on the other hand, started to become Kurdish people. My home has become more and more Kurdistan. My life has become more and more PKK. My friends became more and more freedom fighters, my comrades. My little world has become more and more the universe. I became conscious of being a good militant candidate for the Leadership rather than being a good family child of my mother. Actually, what I want to say is that the PKK is very different and I wanted to fight for my people. People gain a lot of value and awareness in the PKK. The more you win, the more you love. The organization does not force anyone to do work, but I forced the organization to send me to war. If you hear my news of the action tomorrow, believe me, it was my will and my imposition on the organization. No matter what anyone says, don’t believe anything other than these. Mom, you know, I told you my most secret things too. Anyway, now I want you to greet it with your head held high like this. May this action of mine bring you closer to the organization, even our young people may join the PKK, where they will live in honor and pride. My family, whom I know, will now be committed to this work to the end, and will embrace the freedom struggle with great determination.
(…)
Believe me, I don’t know what to write for you. Whenever and no matter how hard you were, you tried to raise us well. Your emotional and dignified nature had a reflection on me as well. At least it was a chance for me to be born as your child. I tried to be as honest and sincere as I could in my struggle in the mountains so that not a single word would be said to you in the society. I tried to be the freedom fighter of my people by trying to add organizational discipline to the discipline you gave me. If I succeed in this, it will show you that I am worthy of this line of freedom and that I am a true representative of this line. Dad, I want you to face this event like Mom. I send my greetings to Erkan, Eylem and Mazlum Doğan. Let them fight for their own people on a right basis, the greatest honor and pride is to fight for freedom. I send my greetings to my uncles, uncles, aunts, aunts, aunts and all relatives who have worked for me. Young people have always had a special place for me. You too must always fight for the Kurdish people at all costs. The only thing you deserve for yourself is to have a right struggle around the PKK. Now it would be too much if I write names one by one. But the value I gave to everyone was obvious, it’s well known, and I would appreciate it if you would see me stranded like this. Maybe some of you have joined (I know only Agit friend) but you still need to participate more. I would like to express my greetings to all our friends with whom we have made sincere, true and sincere friendships here. Break all the doors of fear and enter the Kurdish reality and you will see how welcoming and warm you are. I kiss the hands of all patriotic mothers in the person of my mother and all the patriotic fathers in the person of my father. Your children deserve you. If I am worthy, I would be very happy if my name is mentioned as ERİŞ AVENT GEVER, write this name even on the tombstone.
