“Our comrades Avareş, Masîro and Kemal, who are at the forefront of the invasion operation launched by the genocidal and fascist Turkish state in Zap in April, skillfully inflicted heavy losses on the invaders by using the mobile team war tactic. They managed to stop the invaders by fighting heroically with the Apoist will against the invaders trying to advance using all the techniques of the age. Our comrades Avareş, Masîro and Kemal, who played a leading role in the actions that made deep use of the Zap land and inflicted heavy blows on the invaders, reached martyrdom by fighting heroically in the intense clashes with the invaders on April 22.

AVAREŞ AMED
Our comrade Avareş was born in Licê, the resistance fortress of Amed, which is known for its patriotism and resistance, has been protecting its side against the colonialist and genocidal Turkish state for years and has paid the price for this cause. The family of our comrade Avareş was exposed to the village burning and sequestration policies implemented by the fascist and genocidal Turkish state on the Kurdish people and therefore had to migrate to Amed. He witnessed and lived closely the policies implemented against the Kurdish people at an early age. These policies, which he witnessed, created great anger and hatred in him. Raising this grudge and anger to consciousness day by day, our comrade Avareş has embarked on a quest for the greatest possible struggle against these policies. Our comrade Avareş, who learned the historical dimension of these policies applied against the Kurdish people and the struggles of the Kurdish people against the genocide during his searches, succeeded in establishing a strong ground for struggle with what he learned at an early age. During these processes, our comrade Avareş, who had the opportunity to get to know the PKK better, whom he knew from his patriotic family and his circle before, saw that the biggest and most meaningful struggle that could be given against assimilation and genocide practices would be within the ranks of the PKK and decided to join.
Our comrade Avareş, who joined the guerrilla ranks from Licê, the land where he was born in 2013, joined life with the pride of returning to the lands he was exiled to when he was a child, as a guerrilla burning with the fire of freedom. His confident and determined stance attracted the attention of his comrades in the early days of his participation. After the ISIS gangs attacked our people with the support of the fascist Turkish state, they wanted to fight against this fascist gang group like every other Kurdish youth, and fought on this basis in many areas. Our comrade Avareş, who has been in the practice of war for 4 years, was injured in his foot, but despite this, he did not give up the freedom struggle with his steel will. Aware of the fact that the only way to defeat the enemy is to be a professional guerrilla, our comrade Avareş offered himself for military specialty training in 2019 and after receiving training, he moved to the Zap field as a guerrilla commander. Our comrade Avareş, who knows how to face all difficulties with his will in Zap, was loved and respected by his comrades with this feature. Our comrade Avareş, who lives with the belief and belief that “There is nothing that a guerrilla who equips himself with the Apoist philosophy cannot achieve”, tried to explain and make his comrades around him understand this idea while educating himself on this axis, and he was successful. Our comrade Avaresh, who aims to develop himself not only ideologically but also militarily, has spent every moment of his life in the intensification of big blows to be dealt to the enemy.

MASIRO AMED
Our comrade Masîro was born in Amed. He grows up in a patriotic family. This environment gives him a lot. He learns how to act in the face of assimilation policies carried out in Kurdistan. He begins to look for areas to put what he has learned into practice. He participates in the youth activities of the Apoist movement that says stop to the imposed dirty life. It increases its struggle day by day against the cultural and physical genocides carried out on Kurdistan from moment to moment. He does not take a step back in the struggle, and seeks the way and method of expelling the enemy from Kurdistan at every opportunity. He was shot by the police in an action against the cultural and physical genocides carried out by the Turkish state in Kurdistan, and as a result he was injured. Even though the wound he received is physical, it enables him to put an end to the systemic contradictions he lives in, intellectually. Now, the way to take a stronger step in the struggle has been opened. Friend Masîro, who does not care about this wound, takes the road to the mountains of Kurdistan in his injured state.
He is the guest of the comrade table of the Çiyagers in the Martyr Kendal area in the mountains of Amed. Our comrade Masîro is very impressed by this hospitality. It moves from being a guest to being a host. Now he has become a mountaineer who will host those who want to be a guest on his mountain. After staying in the mountains of Amed for a short time, he wanted to fight these gangs after ISIS gangs attacked the gains of our people. He took part in the war with the gangs for a long time and managed to become an exemplary militant with his skill in the war. After the successful war against ISIS, he returns to the mountains of Kurdistan, which is the dream of every Kurdish youth and guerrilla. This time, as a guerrilla oriented towards the Zagros mountains, the PKK begins to deepen in the sea of meaning at the summits of the mountains. Comrade Masîro expresses the honor of being a revolutionary in the PKK movement with these words; “To take part in the PKK movement, to be a PKK revolutionary and to be a revolutionary in such a revolution is something valuable in itself.” It is aware that the PKK movement, with its democratic, ecological and women’s libertarian alternative paradigm, has the power to solve this crisis against the humanity crisis the world is in. With this awareness, he tries to analyze the human being created by the capitalist system in the mountains, seeks their effects on himself, and carries out the ideological struggle to eliminate them. The more it solves, the deeper it gets, and the deeper it gets, the bigger its mountainous heart grows. It is connected with love to the communal life and comradeship existing in the mountains of Kurdistan. With this commitment, he learns a lot from his fellow comrades. It creates a change in itself from moment to moment in accordance with the dialectic of life. In the face of the changing ideological atmosphere of the mountain, it is constantly renewed by throwing away the old shells and wearing new clothes.

KEMAL PIR
Our comrade Kemal was born in a patriotic family in Bazarcix district of Gurgum. While our freedom movement was still in the ideological group stage, Bazarcix was among the first regions to reach a mass base, which was kneaded by the labor of many leading revolutionaries such as Haki Karer and Kemal Pir, and on the basis of this effort, they met and participated in the Apoist movement early. Throughout our history of struggle, many revolutionaries have come out on this ground, joining our freedom movement and displaying an important militant performance and practice. From Besê Anuş to Mustafa Yondem, Erdal and Kasım Engin, it has been the place of many revolutionary militants and hundreds of martyrs who derive their strength from the rich accumulation of these lands. Our comrade Kemal had the opportunity to get acquainted with the Kurdish reality and the Apoist Movement early due to such historical heritage and the patriotism of his family. Influenced by the assimilation policies of the fascist regime, Comrade Kemal tried to organize himself and raise awareness in order not to lose his identity. He witnessed how the labor was exploited and how the order worked in the factories he worked, and he fought for it. After seeing once again the reality of the occupying Turkish fascism in the Self-Government Resistance and the reality of the PKK fighting and resisting against it, he turned to the mountains of Kurdistan, believing that only an armed struggle could be answered against the genocidal and invading TR. Our comrade Kemal, who believes that it is an obligation for Kurdish youth to join the PKK against the policies of denial and annihilation, has become an exemplary militant with his conscious participation.

With his reassuring stance and participation, our comrade Kemal has progressed by learning the subtleties of the art of guerrilla by cooking in Zap, which is a difficult area in guerrillaism. Our comrade Kemal, who knows the value of labor well, showed a pioneering militant practice in the creation and protection of life on a free basis by putting more effort. He has become the maintainer of a life worthy of Leader Apo and martyrs by empowering himself ideologically with the paradigm of our leadership. Our comrade Kemal stated that embracing Leader Apo is the name of protecting the Kurdish people, women, laborers and, at the last stage, humanity. With the participation of Leader Apo as a self-sacrificing militant, it has always managed to stay ahead.
We express our condolences to all patriotic people of Kurdistan, especially to the esteemed families of our comrades Avareş, Masîro and Kemal, and reiterate our promise that we will definitely realize the dreams of our martyrs of “Free Leadership, Free Kurdistan”.
