“Our epic resistance against the occupation, which will be remembered as the most precious times in the history of freedom of Kurdistan, where great heroism took place every day, continues uninterruptedly under the leadership of our esteemed comrades who fought sacrificially and became martyrs. All the invasion and genocide plans of the enemy backfired by hitting the historical resistances in Werxelê, Şikefta Birîndara, Girê Cûdî and Girê Hakkari Resistance Areas. The resistances led by our heroic martyrs inflict more blows on the enemy each time and cause them to experience blockages in the areas where they attempt to invade. The historical resistance led by our leading YJA Star commander Sema Eylül and our comrades Arjin, Lîlav and Avaşîn in the Metîna area also upset the enemy’s plans for the Metîna area. Sema, Arjin, Lîlav and Avaşîn, who met every moment by knitting resistance against the attacks developed by the enemy, had a unique effort and effort to develop these teams, with their belief in the role of our comrades’ mobile guerrillas in the guerrilla tactics of the new era. These valuable comrades carried out many actions against the enemy with mobile teams and successfully fulfilled their period duties.
We, as their comrades, promise that we will carry the struggle handed over to us by our comrades Sema, Arjin, Lîlav and Avaşîn to victory with the responsibility of sticking to their traditions of resistance.
