KOÇER DIDÊRÎ
Our comrade Koçer was born in a family belonging to the Didêrî tribe in the Deştadarê town of Hezex, which is known for its patriotism. It is known that when the Turkish army, which was defeated against the Kurdistan Freedom Movement in the 90s, could not liquidate our movement, it resorted to dirty policies. He made the Kurdish people village guards through oppression and torture and forced them to cooperate. The family of our comrade Koçer, who was deeply devoted to our movement and paid a price, also defended their honor by risking being killed because they knew that being a village guard is a betrayal against them and our people. Our comrade Koçer, who was displaced and displaced from his homeland at a young age, started to feel great grudge and anger towards the enemy. The capture of our Leader by the International Conspiracy had a great impact on our comrade Koçer, and in response he wanted to join the guerrilla ranks. But he could not attend because he was young. Our comrade Koçer, who has been patiently waiting until 2003, joins the guerrilla ranks with his cousin. Since our comrade Koçer grew up with the ancient coaching tradition, he quickly adapts to mountain and guerrilla life with the basic education he received. Our comrade Koçer, who was brought up with hard work, is known among his friends for his hardworking and self-sacrificing qualities. Although he did not go to school, he has improved himself in our ranks, and has made an effort to understand and apply our Leader’s paradigm with great enthusiasm and love. She did not get into the pollution of the system with the effect of coaching, which is intertwined with nature, and did not take on its diseased features, so she had no difficulty in comprehending and assimilating the Democratic, Ecological and Women’s Libertarian Paradigm of our Leader.
Our comrade Koçer, who was a guerilla in many parts of the Medya Defense Zones, served as a commander at various levels. Again, despite encountering many difficulties in Bakure Kurdistan, where he was between 2014-2016, he overcame them with a high consciousness and virtue and had a will of steel. He undertook important duties in the epic resistances against the invading Turkish state in Bakure Kurdistan, served as a commander and fulfilled all his responsibilities with great success. Later, he returned to Medya Defense Zones, where he led and commanded many actions developed against enemy attacks. With his nearly 20 years of struggle, he had no difficulty in guiding his friends under his command with his sincerity in his comradeship, modesty in life and organizational awareness. At the same time, it aims to develop its comrades by taking it as a duty to teach and transfer what it has learned from the organization to its comrades with great enthusiasm. It wanted to respond with great assertion and determination to the “Dem Dema Azadiyê” move launched by our movement against the concept of total annihilation developed by the colonial Turkish state against the Kurdistan Freedom Movement and our people. Our comrade Koçer, who suggested going to Bakur to fulfill the requirements of the process, went to the Botan area where he was born and raised, believing that we will win the victory. Our comrade Koçer, who is aware of the importance of Botan for our movement, acted with this awareness and did not accept any measure other than success in his work. We promise that we will carry the freedom struggle handed over to us by our comrade Koçer, who has a simple and honest participation, to success in a way worthy of his march.

BERXWEDAN AMARA
Our Berxwedan friend was originally from Wan, was born in Izmir, grew up in a patriotic family that paid a price and participated in our freedom struggle. Like every Kurdish individual in the metropolises, our comrade Berxwedan has been exposed to the uprooting and assimilation policies of the Turkish state. Against all the policies of the state, she has always been in a search because she comes from a deep-rooted tradition. At first, she begins to fight for the preservation of the ancient Kurdish folk culture, albeit in an emotional way. However, our comrade Berxwedan, who realizes that her struggle is not enough, decides to engage in a more active struggle.Our Berxwedan friend, actively participates in youth work. While carrying out her youth work, she continued her struggle with determination despite all the pressures of the fascist regime. When the fascist regime could not dissolve our comrade Berxwedan within its own system and remove her from his roots, this time she was arrested and put in prison. Despite all the tendencies of the fascist regime, she was more closely attached to our Leader and the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle in prison. She was greatly influenced by Leader Apo’s ideology and the PKK life she created, her comradeship and the Women’s Liberation Ideology. While in the dungeon, she realized the impossibility of fighting within the system, and after she leaves, she comes to the free mountains of her dream country.
Shee took the name “Berxwedan” because she was very impressed by the PKK resistance. Our comrade Berxwedan, who was sincere in her participation, gained the appreciation of all her comrades with her moral and enthusiastic participation. Our comrade Berxwedan, who developed and deepened herself ideologically, addressed her in a letter she received from our Leader while she was in prison: “If you make your mind dominant and enrich your form, you can become a great guerrilla. She participated in life with the perspective of “You can get sick”. With this sentence, which has the character of a manifesto, she made a great effort to become a self-sacrificing militant and guerrilla of Leader Apo. By giving meaning to the difficulties she faced, she was able to overcome all difficulties with the strength she received from our Leader and our martyrs. She managed to become a professional guerrilla with the military academies she saw. Our comrade Berxwedan, who empowered herself in the Free Women’s Line in order to be able to “become a palace”, pioneered in conveying this to her comrades. It has been the dream of all guerrillas to cross into Bakure Kurdistan and fight. Our comrade Berxwedan went to Bakur Kurdistan to hold the invading and colonial Turkish state to account and to practice the experiences she gained in the Medya Defense Zones with great determination and determination to avenge our martyrs. During her stay in Bakure Kurdistan, she achieved important successes in a short time with her high tempo and determined and determined working style, and in this sense, she managed to become a leading YJA Star commander in the freedom struggle of our people.

DIJWAR CIZRE
Our comrade Dijwar was born in a patriotic family in the city of serhildan, Cizîr. The personality of our comrade Dijwar, who was born and raised in Cizîr, was naturally shaped by patriotic culture. Influenced by the struggles of our leadership and our martyred friends, our comrade Dijwar has started working since his youth. He first took part in youth work, and with his energetic structure, he became a pioneer in this work in a short time. Our comrade Dijwar, who played an important role in preventing the enemy from entering the streets of Cizîr, started to lay the foundations of self-government resistance together with his comrades. Later, thinking that his struggle was insufficient, he turned his face to the mountains of Kurdistan for a more active and fruitful struggle and joined the guerrilla ranks in the Cudi area in 2014. Although he knew the PKK to a certain extent when he joined, his participation was mostly on an emotional basis. After joining the guerrilla ranks, he was influenced by the communal, collective lifestyle of our Party that exposed the sociality, and in a short time succeeded in overcoming the life style of the capitalist system that dispersed the social. Our comrade Dijwar, who is an exemplary guerrilla with his sharp military stance, has also focused on ideological trainings in order to improve himself further. He is aware that he cannot have a right life without understanding the leadership philosophy. For this reason, he trained himself on the basis of the Leader’s defenses and made a great effort to become an Apoist pioneer militant. Our comrade Dijwar has worked in many parts of the Medya Defense Zones, and in every work he takes part in, he has given confidence to his comrades with his disciplined working style. Within the framework of the restructuring of the guerrilla, it has deepened itself in the new era guerrilla style. Our comrade Dijwar, who tried to respond to our Leader, our martyrs and our people’s demands for freedom in the trainings he received, thought that this could best be developed in Bakure Kurdistan. Our comrade Dijwar, who wanted to go to Bakure Kurdistan to hold accountable for the massacres committed by the enemy against our people during the self-government resistance, achieved this goal and returned to the lands of Botan, where he was born, as a freedom fighter. Our comrade Dijwar, who managed to win the respect of all his comrades with his honesty and natural personality in his participation, will always continue to lead us.
Our comrades Koçer, Berxwedan and Dijwar, who have an unceasing struggle in the fight for the freedom of our people, duly fulfilled their duties by being a guerrilla in Bakure Kurdistan during this period when we were going through the most critical periods of our people’s freedom struggle. We express our condolences to all our patriotic people of Kurdistan, especially to the valuable families of all three of our comrades who became martyrs in their epic fights and became true PKK members.”
