STERA ARARAT
Bedlis, which has always had a special place in the history and society of Kurdistan with the resistance it developed and the wise and revolutionary people it raised, maintains this feature today and produces valiant revolutionaries. Comrade Stêra, one of the most concise representatives of the resistance tradition of the Bedlis people, has been one of the leading militants who left their mark on the resistance history of our people. Our comrade Stêra was born in a patriotic family in the Norşîn district of Bedlîs, recognized our party, the PKK, which has shown its influence all over Kurdistan from an early age. She had a great love for the guerrilla, who became the legend living in all of Kurdistan, and she was always curious to see the guerrilla, especially the female guerrillas. Witnessed the oppression and persecution of the enemy against our people, this caused great anger and greed in our comrade Stêra. She has been involved in youth activities since her youth with the awareness that she has responsibilities towards our people, both as a woman and as a youth. In this process, our comrade Stêra’s understanding of the reality of the enemy, the aspects of the life of the capitalist system that contradicts the human essence, and that this life does not set any mission other than slavery for women has been decisive in the struggle of our comrade Stêra. Our comrade Stêra, who turned to the mountains of Kurdistan in order to understand, live and become a warrior of Leader Apo’s free life philosophy more deeply against this false way of life, joined the guerrilla ranks in 2012 from Tetwan, where the traces of Martyr Mizgîn-Gurbet Aydın are still evident. Since her youth, she has been involved in youth activities with the awareness that she has responsibilities towards our people, both as a woman and as a young person. In this process, our comrade Stêra’s understanding of the reality of the enemy, the aspects of the life of the capitalist system that contradicts the human essence, and that this life does not set any mission other than slavery for women has been decisive in the struggle of our comrade Stêra.
She had her first guerrilla experience in the field of Garzan, gained basic knowledge about guerrilla with the help of her experienced comrades there, and developed herself in a short time with her curious and open-minded nature. After staying in the Garzan area for a while, our comrade Stêra moved to the Medya Defense Areas, and after a short period of concentration, she moved to the Heftanîn area. Our comrade Stêra was successful in the military training she received here, impressed all her comrades and left deep traces with her modesty, laborer stance and meaningful discussions with her comrades. Comrade Stêra, who first started to concentrate on the sacrifice during this period, met Comrade Arîn Mîrkan, one of our pioneering volunteer commanders they had the chance to share the same life together. Comrade Stêra, who took part in many critical studies in the field of Heftanîn after the training process, gave confidence to all her comrades with her hard work and honest participation in these studies. She always wanted to empower her militarily and thus to respond to the intense war process as an Apoist female militant, she insisted on this. On this basis, she received heavy weapons training and reached the level to train her comrades by becoming competent. For a long time, she was interested in the educational work of her comrades and formed the infrastructure for a more effective development of our war. In this process, their concentration on sacrifice began to gain more concreteness. As she trained her comrades, she trained herself, gaining more and more depth with each passing day. Our comrade Stêra later received ideological training at the Martyr Berîtan Free Women’s Academy, wanted to understand the free woman line more and make this line a personality trait. She concentrated on this basis and expressed her concentration as follows: “My biggest goal is to be a free woman and to educate myself in the philosophy of Leadership. As I get to know the philosophy and truth of leadership, my belief in freedom develops. As a woman, I want to be liberated with a beautiful action, a beautiful life.” Our comrade Stêra turned to practical work with a strong and morale after the training she received, took part in press activities for a while. In this study, she was based on success as the only measure. Fighting for the freedom of our people with great effort and sacrifice, she recorded the most precious moments of his comrades who struggled and made it into history. The martyrdom of our comrades against the attacks of the colonial Turkish state, the increasing isolation and torture on our Leader day by day, accelerated the participation of our comrade Stêra in the activities of Hêzên Taybet to realize the concentration of sacrifice. “My desire to come to Hêzên Taybet has increased even more to be closer to the leadership and to live the life of the martyrs. Seeing this, my desire increased each time to be closer to the leadership and to live the life of the martyrs.”
Our comrade Stêra fought nonstop and worked hard to reach the beauty of truth and to move forward with the truth throughout her entire life of struggle. For this reason, all her concentrations were on reaching the secret of the truth, and he did not break away from these concentrations even for a moment. She always sought to enlarge her struggle without any obstacle in her tough walk from Garzan to Zagros. Our comrade Stêra spent every moment fighting and took more of the beauty and truth of life as she fought. She has determined that her biggest goal and dream is to achieve the physical freedom of our Leader, and she has completely devoted herself to her struggle in line with this goal and dream. She did not limit her sacrifice to just one action, she based her whole life on a self-sacrificing participation. Because of this feature, she became a comrade that hir comrades took as an example and wanted to work with. Comrade Stêra, who was among the mobile guerrilla teams against the attacks launched by the enemy against the Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna areas in 2021 within the framework of the invasion attacks of Bashurê Kurdistan, has had the opportunity to practice her dream and concentration to carry out a great action. She has been involved in many actions against the enemy during her time in the Zap area, and she stated that people cannot be limited to space in order to realize their dreams. Stating that the enemy will never be permanent in our lands and that they will constantly encounter resistance from Apoist militants, our comrade Stêra has been a source of strength and morale for all of her comrades with her belief in victory. She considered leading this resistance as a YJA Star commander as a great chance for him and predicted that women would win big at the end of this struggle. Our comrade Stêra, who has left unforgettable memories in every comrade with her honest, simple and humble participation in every field she has been in for 10 years, will always lead us comrades with his martyrdom as she did in her life.
