BEHDİNAN- HPG Press Center shared the following information regarding the 4 guerrillas who were martyred in Zap and Avaşîn:
The historical guerrilla resistance in Avaşîn and Zap areas represents an important turning point in the history of freedom of our people. The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla is resisting with all its might and increasing its resistance day by day against these invasion attacks launched by the enemy in the person of our Freedom Movement to carry out genocide against our people. The colonialist Turkish state, unable to advance in the face of this historical resistance, is attacking our comrades with inhumane methods. Despite all the attacks, our comrades Bilind, Kendal, Numan and Ronî, who fought selflessly and did not allow the occupation and the occupier, became exemplary militants in the freedom war of our people with their determination and determination to fight. The epic life and resistance of these valuable comrades who died in the Avaşîn and Zap areas are a strength for their comrades who continue their struggle today. It is a source of morale and the justification of blows to the enemy. The martyrdom of our most valuable comrades and paying the price in the historical resistances experienced do not undoubtedly weaken our struggle, on the contrary, it further increases our hatred and anger towards the enemy. On this basis, we promise once again that we will lead the struggles of these esteemed comrades to victory and realize their dreams, whatever the cost.

BILIND SHAFT
Our comrade Bilind was born in Hesekê, Rojavayê Kurdistan, as a member of a patriotic family. Comrade Bilind also witnessed the freedom problem of our people from an early age, as his family has been dealing with the Kurdistan cause for many years and has been fighting for it. In particular, he witnessed the genocidal practices developed by the BAAS regime against our people in Rojavayê Kurdistan, and was also sensitive to the enemy pressures in other parts of Kurdistan. Our comrade Bilind also took part in these factions and worked because his family had been fighting in different political factions for many years. But since the Apoist Movement started to develop in Kurdistan, especially in Rojava, our comrade Bilind also recognized our Party. Over time, he had discussions with our comrades in Rojava, and during these discussions he learned about the aims and objectives of our Party. When our comrade Bilind, who is both knowledgeable and conscientious, compared the PKK with other parties and organizations fighting for the Kurdistan cause, he immediately saw the difference in the PKK. Our comrade Bilind, who did not remain indifferent to the struggle developed by the PKK with a self-sacrificing spirit, was especially impressed by the captivity of Leader Apo, and by our comrades who became martyrs by fighting valiantly in the mountains of Kurdistan with the intense isolation and pressure the enemy exerted against Leader Apo. Our comrade Bilind, who thinks that as a patriotic Kurdish youth, should also take part in the struggle, he put this thought into practice by joining the guerrilla ranks in 2009. In these discussions, he was informed about the aims and objectives of our Party.

Our comrade Bilind, who thinks that as a patriotic Kurdish youth, should also take part in the struggle, he put this thought into practice by joining the guerrilla ranks in 2009.
After joining the guerrilla ranks, he was deeply impressed by the magnificence of the Kurdistan mountains and nature. However, he had difficulties in getting used to the mountain and guerrilla life at first. Being aware of the fact that he is experiencing this situation due to the negative effects of the capitalist system on him, our comrade Bilind started to get rid of the effects of capitalism on him by reading the philosophy of Leadership, which is a return to the essence at its source. As he overcame these negative effects, he became more himself and gradually became integrated with the nature and guerrilla life of Kurdistan. Our comrade Bilind has participated in practical work in the Garê and Metîna fields for many years, and has come to the fore with his effort and sacrifice in these studies. Later, when the attacks of ISIS gangs against the gains of our people increased, in 2014, he moved to the resistance positions to fight against these gangs and succeeded in fulfilling his revolutionary duty properly. However, our comrade Bilind, who turned his face to the mountains of Kurdistan against the invasion attacks launched by the genocidal Turkish state since 2015, has been guerrilla in many parts of the Medya Defense Zones, especially in Avaşîn. In addition to many critical works, our comrade Bilind, who took part in many actions against the developing enemy attacks, had a great effort in inflicting effective blows on the enemy. Our comrade Bilind, who managed to renew himself according to the guerrilla tactics of the new era, participated in ideological trainings at the Haki Decision Academy in order to make this permanent and integrate it with Apoist philosophy. In this educational process, he questioned himself in every aspect and started to overcome the obstacles in his personality. Our comrade Bilind, who developed himself by reconsidering the principles of Democratic Modernity Guerrillaism, moved to Avaşîn again as the unit commander and got involved in the practice of hot war. Against the attacks initiated by the enemy in 2021, it stood against the enemy attacks both in the war tunnels and with its mobile team style and dealt heavy blows to the enemy. He was in constant quest to contribute more to the resistance of his comrades in the war tunnels, thus he tried to fulfill his comradely duty. Our comrade Bilind, whose anger towards the enemy has increased many times due to the martyrdom of many of his comrades, has made this a reason to fight more.
He was among the first teams to respond to the attacks that developed on April 14th. In the Werxelê area, where historical resistances took place, he managed to become a leading commander of the new era by both planning and taking part in many actions that dealt heavy blows to the enemy with mobile guerrilla teams. Our comrade Bilind, who fought with an unshakable Apoist will against all the intense attacks of the enemy, reached martyrdom by fighting until his last breath so that the enemy would not settle in the Werxelê area. Our comrade Bilind, who is an exemplary militant with his sincerity in his comradeship, his devotion to Leader Apo and the line of martyrs, and his deep patriotism, will always live on in our struggle.
KENDAL BOTAN
Our people in Rojava have been able to maintain their belief in freedom by adhering to Kurdistani values, despite being exposed to the oppression of the BAAS regime for many years. With the emergence of our party PKK under the leadership of Leader Apo, our people in Rojava embraced our struggle massively and thousands of young people joined the ranks of the resistance. The tradition of resistance created laid the groundwork for the Rojava Freedom Revolution and paved the way for our people to attain their freedom.
Comrade Kendal, who was born into a patriotic family and had to immigrate with his family to the city of Raqqa due to the “Arab Belt” policies developed by the BAAS regime on the basis of Arabization of Rojava Kurdistan, grew up with a tradition of resistance. Our comrade, who had the chance to get to know Leader Apo and our party PKK from an early age, took part in the Rojava Freedom Revolution and contributed greatly to the freedom struggle of our people. Our comrade, who was raised during the revolution process, developed himself both militarily and ideologically, and took his place in the forefront of the war against ISIS gangs. Seeing the fact that our people cannot have a free future until all the lands of Kurdistan are cleared of the invaders, our comrade moved to the Kurdistan mountains, the center of the struggle, and joined the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla ranks in 2017.
Our comrade, who adapts to difficult guerrilla conditions with his youthful energy and laboring personality, came to the fore with his practical personality and specialized in guerrilla tactics. Our comrade, who stayed in the Garê area for a while, had the chance to develop what he learned by putting it into practice. Our comrade Kendal, who moved to Avaşîn area with the experience he gained, became a leading militant in life and war, and took his place at the forefront of many actions against the invaders. Comrade Kendal, one of our comrades who fought selflessly against the invasion attacks developed by the invading Turkish army in Avaşîn and led the developing historical resistance, has been a source of strength for all of his comrades with his life and participation.

Our comrade Kendal, who responded with great courage and determination to the attacks carried out by the enemy in the Werxelê area, died as one of the leading commanders of the developing historical resistance and became one of the symbols of the Bazên Zogrosê Revolutionary Campaign.
NUMAN AMED
Our city of Amed, where the foundations of our party PKK were laid, responded to the attacks of September 12 fascism with the Amed Dungeon Resistance, showing the invincibility of the PKK to the whole world, and opened a new page in the history of our people with the serhildans it developed. With the beginning of the guerrilla struggle in the mountains of Kurdistan, the youth of Amed massively poured into the ranks of the struggle and formed a new revolutionary tradition in the history of Kurdistan. Our city of Amed, which has always protected this great and historical heritage, and represented the line of patriotism at the highest level, has been one of the centers of Apoist militancy. Comrade Numan, who was born in a patriotic family devoted to this strong culture of struggle, also grew up in the tradition created by our struggle on the line of resistance marching to victory.
Our comrade Numan, who never accepted the existence of the Kurdish people with their own will, identity, language and culture; It has closely witnessed the attacks, oppression and persecution of the colonialist Turkish state, which made the genocide of our people its main aim with attacks of assimilation, denial and destruction. Our comrade, who had the chance to get to know our party PKK from an early age, took his place in the ranks of the struggle as an honorable Kurdish youth. Our comrade Numan, who has determined to fight for a free future for our people by joining the guerrilla ranks since his childhood, achieved his goal by joining the guerrilla ranks in 2014.
Our comrade, who joined the guerrilla ranks at a time when attacks to destroy our people, especially Shengal and Rojava, intensified, transformed his anger against the colonialists into energy of struggle. Our comrade, who became an expert with the basic guerrilla training he received, started his first guerrilla practice. With his working personality, he was based on successfully completing all his revolutionary tasks and became a leading militant in life with the strong comradeship he established. Our comrade Numan, who moved to the Zap field after his guerrilla practice in the Qendil field, had a strong practice as a competent guerrilla. Our comrade, who constantly develops himself in the ideological field, and who is based on enriching what he has learned by sharing with his comrades, has earned the love and respect of all his comrades in every field he is in.
RONI BOTAN
Our ancient Botan people, who have not bowed to the invasion attacks throughout history and have preserved their existence by adhering to Kurdistani values, greeted the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle with great enthusiasm and serhildans with the emergence of our party PKK. Botan youth, who have always protected the historical heritage created by the guerrilla resistance initiated by our immortal commander Egîd (Mahsum Korkmaz), who became legendary with his struggle along the Apoist line, showed the Kurdish youth the real line and ground of struggle with their massive guerrilla participation. Comrade Ronî, who was born into a patriotic family devoted to this strong tradition of resistance, has recognized our struggle from an early age, under the influence of the environment he grew up in. Our comrade, who witnessed the brutal attacks and assimilation policies developed by the colonial Turkish state against our people, He had a great anger against the invaders. Our comrade, who was in search of more effective ways and methods of struggle at a young age, was involved in youth work but never found it sufficient in his struggle. Seeing the fact that Kurdistan could be cleared of invaders with the historical guerrilla resistance, our comrade turned to the ranks of the freedom guerrilla and joined the guerrilla ranks in 2015 in the ancient land of Botan, where he was born and raised.
Our comrade Ronî, who remained in the Besta area for a while and carried out guerrilla activities, later moved to the Metîna area. Our comrade, who learns quickly and puts what he learns into practice, has made great progress in a short time. Comrade Ronî, who received specialization training in order to deepen in the guerrilla tactics of the new era, moved to the practical field as a young commander candidate after successfully completing his training. Our comrade, who stayed in the Metîna and Garê areas for a while, recovered quickly with the great Apoist will he had, despite his injuries, and returned to the hot war front. Our comrade, who went to the Zap area with his great experience, took part in the Bazên Zagrosê Revolutionary Campaign against the invasion attacks of the colonial Turkish state and dealt heavy blows to the invaders. Our comrade Roni, who is always at the forefront with his militant personality, It has always been insistent to strike the invaders the first blow. Comrade Ronî, who took part in many actions with his inexhaustible energy in the war against the invaders, soon became one of our young commanders who created the spirit of the new era in himself.

All thanks, especially to the precious families of these heroic comrades.
