BEHDINAN – HPG Press Center said the following regarding the martyred guerrillas:
“The invading Turkish state, which wants to bring its policy of genocide against our people to a conclusion, has taken its uninterrupted attacks to eliminate the gains of our people to a new stage with the operations launched on Avaşîn, Zap and Metîna areas on April 24, 2021. With these attacks targeting the occupation of Bashure Kurdistan, they want to take away the gains that our people have made for decades with great effort, sacrifice and cost. The invaders, who calculated that they would achieve this goal by liquidating our party, the PKK, which they saw as the biggest obstacle in front of this dirty plan, encountered the unbreakable Apoist will of the Kurdistan guerrilla. The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, which did not hesitate for a moment against all the inhuman attacks of the genocidal Turkish state, not only left the enthusiasm of the invaders in their tracks with its historical resistance, but also brought the genocidal Turkish state to the brink of defeat. The Turkish state, which resorted to inhuman practices again and again in order to overcome the blockage it experienced and to realize its invasion plans, carried out an intense attack with chemical weapons against our guerrilla forces, who were resisting heroically in the war tunnels. The invading Turkish army, which fell heedless that it would break the will of the Apoist guerrillas and achieve results by using chemical weapons as never before in history, was wrong again, and our comrades insisted on protecting the honor of our people by resisting for months.
Our comrades Adil and Azad also took part in the historical and epic resistance in the Werxelê war tunnels, which lasted for months and where great heroism took place. These esteemed comrades, who fought in the same positions as Cumali and Çavrê, did not give way to the enemy, and despite being exposed to chemical weapons attacks for months, they did not compromise their militant stance and persisted in their resistance. Our comrades Adil and Azad, who witnessed the martyrdom of many of their comrades, made these martyrdoms the basis for more struggle. It has become clear that both of our comrades, with whom we lost contact after the massive explosions and intense chemical weapons attacks by the enemy on September 26, 2021, have passed away.
The identity information of our comrades who reached martyrdom is as follows:

ADIL QAŞURİ
One of Botan’s deep-rooted and patriotic tribes, the Qaşûrî tribe, has embraced our struggle since the beginning of our freedom struggle, treated it as their own struggle and added hundreds of their valuable children to the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle for this. After each martyrdom; they recruited their most valiant sons to the guerrilla ranks so that the struggle of our martyrs would continue and their weapons would not be left on the ground. Our comrade Adil, who is a member of this precious tribe who raised his children with the resistance culture of Botan, was born in a patriotic family. Thanks to the deep patriotic awareness of the tribe he belongs to and the environment he lives in, our party heard about the PKK and the freedom guerrilla at an early age and became attached to it with great admiration. Like every Kurdish child, our comrade Adil dreamed of being a guerrilla against the atrocities committed by the enemy and wanted to avenge our people. Our comrade Adil, who witnessed the attacks and massacres of the enemy against our people during his youth, has a word to say this time and the power to put his word into practice. Our comrade Adil, who believes that an option other than fighting against enemy attacks would be betrayal of our people, first took part in youth work. Although he was successful in these studies, he never considered his struggle sufficient. Our comrade Adil, who became aware of the pointlessness of staying in the legal field in a period of increasing enemy attacks, joined the guerrilla ranks in 2015 from the land of his birth. Our comrade Adil, who witnessed the attacks and massacres of the enemy against our people during his youth, has a word to say this time and the power to put his word into practice. Our comrade Adil, who believes that an option other than fighting against enemy attacks would be betrayal of our people, first took part in youth work. Although he was successful in these studies, he never considered his struggle sufficient.
Our comrade Adil, who often had the opportunity to see and get to know the freedom guerrilla, had no difficulty in adapting to the mountain and guerrilla life, as the areas he lived in were the guerrilla’s area of activity. Comrade Adil, who shared his experiences on mountain life with his comrades with whom he was educated, has started to lead from the very first days of his guerrilla. Equipping himself militarily with the training he received, our comrade Adil went to Shengal in the same year to fight against ISIS gangs and avenge our Yazidi people. Despite being a new guerrilla, he was taken as an example and respected by all his comrades with his participation in the struggle. With his courage, he came to the fore in the war against gangs and participated in many moves and actions. As an Apoist militant, he always considered himself responsible for the freedom of our people, struggled with this consciousness. In the face of the tragedy our Êzidî people went through, they became even more angry with the enemy and understood that these sufferings of our people would not end until our country, Kurdistan, was completely liberated. He believed that for this he had to fight more as a militant. For this purpose, he constantly reviewed himself and showed the will to overcome the obstacles in front of his struggle. Comrade Adil, who returned to the mountains of Kurdistan in 2018 after finishing his duty in Shengal, shared his experiences on the battlefield with his comrades. The martyrdom of some of his comrades during the war due to the lack of adequate medical treatment caused our comrade Adil to turn to the field of health. Our comrade Adil, who values the lives of his comrades above everything else, He considered himself responsible and started to receive health education in order to help his wounded comrades and to hold on to life and struggle again. He started his education advantageously with the practical experience he gained during the war, and in a short time he took his place in the war fronts as a competent healthcare professional. Our comrade Adil, whose first practice area was Avaşîn, has had a successful practice in this area for about 3 years. He took care of the treatment of his comrades who got sick as well as his comrades who were injured in the protests, and became the “Doctor Adil” of his comrades by becoming more competent in his work day by day. Our comrade Adil, whose first practice area was Avaşîn, has had a successful practice in this area for about 3 years.
Comrade Adil, who took part in the resistance positions with his comrades in the attacks launched by the enemy in the Avaşîn area in 2021, rushed to his aid wherever a comrade was injured. Despite all the difficult conditions of the war, he made a great effort to heal the wounds of his comrades without thinking for a moment, and in this sense he gave a great effort. He tried with all his might to treat his comrades who were affected by the chemical weapons attacks carried out by the enemy against the resistance tunnels, and did not hesitate to use even the smallest opportunity, as if digging a well with a needle. While dealing with the treatment of his comrades, he was also affected by chemical weapons attacks, but he never made his comrades realize this. The last time there was a great resistance, Our comrade Adil, who was in the Werxelê war tunnels, where heroic epics were written under the leadership of Cumali and Çavrês, was one of the subjects of this heroic epic. He did his best to help his comrades who both resisted and resisted. Witnessing the last moments of many of his comrades who were martyred in the banned bomb and chemical weapons attacks, which the enemy used viciously, our comrade Adil fought harder with the strength he received from these comrades and showed that he would never bow to the enemy. Our comrade Adil, who was martyred as a result of the big explosions carried out by the enemy with banned bombs on September 26, 2021, and the use of chemical weapons, has succeeded in being the simplest example of honesty, self-sacrifice and loyalty to his comrades.

Our comrade Azad, who is young and new compared to many of his comrades with whom he fought, He became an exemplary Apoist militant with his participation and stance in the line of sacrifice. Our comrade Azad, who was martyred as a result of the big explosions carried out by the enemy on September 26, 2021 and the intense chemical weapons attacks, became the reason for revenge and more struggle for all his comrades.
