BEHDINAN – HPG Press Contact Center statement is as follows:
“Since the first day of the invasion operations, our forces have turned every area where the invaders stepped into a Resistance Area. Our forces, which deal big blows to the invaders with the mobile team war style and tactics based on tunnel wars, continue to increase their war performance. Despite using all NATO-supported means against the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, the war criminal Turkish army, which cannot achieve the desired result, wants to achieve results with internationally banned bombs and chemical weapons. On October 26, the invading Turkish army invaded the Resistance Areas; It bombed 4 times with banned bombs and 5 times with chemical weapons. It has been determined that the toxic fumes emitted from the chemical weapons used in the Girê Martyr Pîrdoğan battle positions were black in color and firstly burned gunpowder and then emitted the smell of chlorine.
The resistance carried out by our forces with the Apoist spirit of sacrifice and high courage against all attacks continues and heavy blows are inflicted on the invaders. As a result of the actions of our forces; 13 invaders were punished, 5 invaders were injured. At the same time, 1 position, 2 mobesse camera systems and 1 AT-4 weapon were destroyed.

Botan has created legendary commanders who developed historical resistances and led these resistances, and became the center of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla with its serhildans and massive participation in the guerrilla. The fire of freedom that our immortal commander Mahsum Korkmaz (Egîd) lit in Botan on August 15 never went out, and it spread in waves all over Kurdistan. Thousands of Botan’s valiant sons poured into the ranks of the guerrilla and ensured the continuity of our people’s march for freedom.
Comrade Bager, who was born in Elbak, where the patriotic identity is alive and the culture of resistance is strong, had the chance to get to know our struggle from an early age and grew up in the resistance of our people. The fact that many of his family and friends joined the ranks of the struggle enabled our comrade Bager to establish deep ties with the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle from an early age. Our comrade, who closely witnessed the denial and annihilation attacks of the colonialist Turkish state against our people, like every Kurdish youth who wants to live with dignity, did not bow to the persecution and was in constant pursuit of struggle. Our comrade, who believes with all his heart that our struggle, which he knows well will surely bring victory to our people, wanted to join the guerrilla ranks, but had to wait for a while because he was too young. Our comrade, who never betrayed his childhood dreams and followed his dreams, joined the guerrilla ranks in 2015 in the land where he was born and grew up, and took his first steps into the ranks of the struggle. Our comrade, who defines the moment he joined the guerrilla as the day he was born again, joined the sacred guerrilla life with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Our comrade, who always experiences the feeling of comradeship that he admires greatly, has always made an effort to strengthen this bond among all his comrades. Our comrade Bager, who grew up and became competent in the field of Wan, where he carried out a guerrilla operation for 3 years, has been at the forefront of life with his enthusiastic and morale participation. Our comrade, who is rapidly becoming competent in the military field, has focused on the new era of guerrilla tactics and putting them into practice. Our comrade Bager, who is at the forefront of many actions against the invaders, He always knew how to reach the target in the actions he participated in. Our comrade, who duly fulfilled his mission of leadership in war as well as in life as a competent guerrilla, has become one of our young commanders with the spirit of the new era.
Our comrade Bager, who moved to the field of education after his successful practice in the field of Wan, deepened his experience with knowledge through the military and ideological trainings he attended, and gained a strong ideological background by concentrating on the philosophy of Leader Apo. Our comrade Bager, who experienced a great concentration in the trainings he received and specialized in many fields, moved to the Metîna field as the unit commander. Our comrade Bager, who stayed in the Metîna area for a long time and played a leading role in carrying out an effective resistance against the invasion attacks, became one of the successful commanders of the mobile team style and made great efforts to spread it.

Our comrade Bager, who organized, took part in and pioneered many actions,
