Code Name: Ferhat Xizginos Name Surname: Mehmet Yanar Place of Birth: Çewlîg Mother – Father Name: Halime – Ramazan Martyrdom Date and Place: 2021 / Medya Defense Areas |
Our comrade Ferhat Xizginos was born in the Darahênê (Young) district of Çewlîg. However, his family migrated to Amed and grew up in Amed. Our comrade Ferhat was brought up in a patriotic and concise family that adhered to Kurdistani values, was not alienated from his social identity. The strong morality and culture in his family influenced the personality of our comrade Ferhat and determined his character. The martyrdom of his uncle in the ranks of the struggle and the participation of his two brothers and many of his close relatives in the struggle for freedom deeply affected our comrade Ferhat. Our comrade Ferhat, who has deep contradictions with the system life and does not accept integration, has been in search.
The realization of the international conspiracy, in the person of Leader Apo, to commit genocide against the entire Kurdish people, deeply shocked him and he decided to join the struggle. Although he could not join the ranks of the struggle for some reasons, he never gave up on his dreams, did not give up on his decision and joined the ranks of the struggle in August 2005. Our comrade Ferhat, who moved to the Medya Defense Zones after joining the guerrilla in Amed, received his new fighter training in Zap and gained his first guerrilla experiences here. With the greed to avenge hundreds of years of pain, anonymity and genocidal attacks inflicted on his people, he started early guerrilla practice. Comrade Ferhat, who joined the guerrilla life with great desire and love, has been a guerrilla for 7 years in the Zagros.
By joining the academy during the winter of 2012-2013, he questioned the practice of struggle for 7 years, made an accounting of the practical processes in the light of ideological lessons, and prepared himself for the revolutionary tasks of the new period by taking up himself on the basis of criticism and self-criticism. Our comrade Ferhat, who wholeheartedly believes in strengthening the self-defense efforts, making them more effective and getting results in this way, has trained himself as a candidate to develop these efforts. With this belief and determination, he moved to the field of Heftanîn. Our comrade Ferhat, who acts with a high sense of responsibility, has always wanted to go to Bakurê Kurdistan and to engage in guerrilla activities in the lands where he was born and grew up. Even though the necessities of our struggle required him to work in different fields, he never gave up on this passion.
Our comrade Ferhat, like all Apoist militants, was not indifferent to this process at a time when al-Qaeda remnant gangs and ISIS fascism attacked the Kurdish people as if they were in a frenzy and served the Turkish state through genocide. As an honorable and revolutionary son of his people, he did his part to fulfill his responsibilities, to eliminate the attacks on our people and to open free living spaces. It took an active part in the struggle developed against reactionary fascist gangs in different fields and tried to fulfill its duties with great will and effort. Our comrade Ferhat, who successfully fulfilled his responsibilities to humanity and his people by fighting against the enemy of humanity, ISIS, moved to the Medya Defense Zones.
While our comrade Ferhat was fighting for our people to have a free life with big dreams and noble feelings in his heart, he died as a result of an unfortunate accident. Our comrade Ferhat, who left behind a life full of struggle and good memories, will always live in our struggle, and the goals for which he fought for years will definitely be realized. We extend our condolences to the esteemed patriotic family of our comrade Ferhat and all the people of Kurdistan.”
