Our comrade Kemal was born in the patriotic city of Colemêrg, which has never given up its resistance culture and passion for free life, despite the denial, annihilation and assimilation attacks of the colonialist and fascist Turkish state.

Code Name: Dilgeş Davûş Name Surname: Cahit Zirek Place of Birth: Colemêrg Mother – Father Name: Sitî – Nezir Martyrdom Date and Place: 2017 / Medya Defense Areas |
DILGES DAVUS
Our comrade Dilgeş was born in the village of Davûş in the center of Colemêrg. His family, who is a member of the Jîrkî tribe, has not only lived the Kurdish social and cultural life strongly, but also raised our comrade Dilgeş on this basis. Our comrade Dilgeş both acquired the noble character of the people in the geography where he grew up, witnessed the cruelty and practices of the enemy, and also recognized the heroic struggle of the Apoists that echoed in the Zagros. Although there were some who accepted the village guardship as a result of the imposition of the enemy in the village where he grew up, they never served the colonialist and genocidal enemy. Our comrade Cahit felt a deep anger and reaction against this enemy policy imposed on his own people. Although he studied in Turkish public schools, he left after a while and knew how to protect his free spirit within the Turkish system. As a Kurdish youth, he sought to fulfill his responsibility in the cause of his people’s freedom and to be a part of the struggle. On this basis, he carried out his militia activities for a certain period of time. He tried to do his best for his Apoist comrades who struggled in the mountains, and knew how to be a bridge between the Kurdish people and their bodyguards.
Our comrade Dilgêş, whose mind was enlightened as he got to know the Apoist struggle and his feelings in his heart grew, did not see what his people did for the cause of freedom anymore and wanted to increase the level of participation in the struggle. On this basis, he came to the free mountains of Kurdistan in 2014, during the 15 August Resurrection Day, to be a guerrilla and refused to return. Comrade Dilgêş, who received his new fighter training in the Zap field, integrates into the guerrilla life early with his mountain personality. Dağlı makes his noble and brave personality even stronger and more organized with Apoist militancy measures. This basically provides a significant level of development. It has been operating in the field of Zap for three years without interruption. He leads his comrades with his practical intelligence, hardworking and hardworking personality and plays an active role in life.
Our comrade Dilgêş prepares to move to the Cîlo region in order to carry the experience he gained in the Zap area to the Bakur area, to get one step closer to the enemy and to hit the enemy effectively. It waits for the seasonal conditions to be suitable to pass in the spring of 2017. However, in this process, he was martyred in the enemy attacks in April 2017. The martyrdom of our comrade Dilgêş, which developed very early and unfortunately, causes great anger and revenge feelings of all comrades. Because he was a promising militant of the Apoist movement, a rebel child of the Zagros mountains, promising a bright future.

TOLHILDAN ARTÊŞ
Our comrade Tolhildan was born in a patriotic family in the Dêrîk district of Mêrdîn. However, he grew up in Wêranşar district of Riha, where he migrated with his family. There were also those from the patriotic family of our comrade Tolhildan who joined the freedom movement and struggled. In particular, the family’s martyrdom has led to a stronger attachment to the struggle. Our comrade Tolhildan also grew up with sympathy for the martyrs and the guerrilla. While growing up with these feelings, he recognized both the current reality of our people and the reality of the colonialist genocidal enemy. Although he studied for a few years, he left and continued his life as a laborer.
When the innocent children of the Kurdish people were brutally murdered by the Turkish state in Roboski and a second 33 Bullet incident occurred, our comrade Tolhildan decided to fight against this fascist state. He sees that unless there is a guerrilla struggle against the Turkish state in the mountains, plains and everywhere, freedom cannot be achieved, and on this basis he strengthens his search to join the guerrilla ranks. Our comrade Tolhildan, who has brought to consciousness the great suffering of the Kurdish people, joins the guerrilla ranks on March 16, the anniversary of the Halabja Massacre, which was also a brutal genocidal attack on the Kurdish people. He puts his name as Tolhildan in order to avenge all the sufferings inflicted on our people.
Our comrade Tolhildan, who started his participation in the guerrilla on a very meaningful day and on a solid foundation, learned the life of the PKK very early on, educates himself in the basic principles of guerrillaism, and became an enthusiastic guerrilla. The PKK defines its life as a beautiful and dignified life and considers itself lucky to have participated in this free life. Because he states that he is aware of why he lives in the PKK. He states that the capitalist system of modernity has robotized man, removed it from its meaning and made it nothing. Therefore, it calls on all young people of Kurdistan to stay away from the system life and join the liberating life of the PKK.
Our comrade Tolhildan, who developed himself quickly in the guerrilla ranks and learned the military virtues of the guerrilla art, takes part in military specialization trainings. After developing and specializing himself, this time he trains his comrades and helps them. Our comrade Tolhildan, who modestly conveyed what he received from the Party to his comrades, became a commander loved and respected by all his friends. Our comrade Tolhildan embarks on every revolutionary task assigned to him with great enthusiasm and takes success as the basic criterion with the search and effort to fulfill it.
Our comrade Tolhildan was martyred in May 2017 as a young Apoist commander with a promising future. The struggle and stance of our comrade Tolhildan will be taken as an example by our comrades, and the reason for enlarging the struggle will be made. All Kurdish youth, especially the youth of Mêrdîn and Urfa, will base their struggle by following the footsteps of the Tolhildans, and will not leave their weapons on the ground.
