BEHDINAN – HPG Press Center stated the following regarding the martyrs:
Between 28 March and 7 April 2023, the invading Turkish state launched annihilation operations against our forces in the Alantus area of Cîlo, and violent clashes took place between our forces and the invaders. In the statement we made on April 11, 2023, we stated that our comrades Raperîn, Rêvan and Botan were martyred, and one person was taken prisoner by the enemy.
Comrade Alîşêr İntikam, a member of the Cîlo State Command, who dealt heavy blows to the enemy in the violent clashes, survived these clashes and remained alone in the operation area for days. The invading Turkish army has mobilized its war and reconnaissance planes, helicopters and hundreds of forces only for our comrade. Even if our comrade Alîşer remained alone, he challenged the enemy with his unique Apoist militant will and great courage. On April 7, 2023, a conflict broke out between our valiant commander Comrade Alîşêr and the invaders. Our comrade Alîşer valiantly gave the necessary answer to the enemy and reached martyrdom by resisting selflessly until his last breath. Our comrade Alîşêr, who has been a guerilla in many areas of the Zagros for many years, has managed to become a leading commander with his successful practice. Our comrade Alîşêr, who left almost no foothold in the Zagroslar, succeeded in walking in the footsteps of our great commander, Martyr Reşid Serdar. Our comrade Alîşêr, who contributed to many effective actions against the enemy, enlarged his struggle day by day with his unwavering belief in victory.
We extend our condolences to all our patriotic people of Kurdistan, especially to the valuable family of Comrade Alîşêr, who succeeded in being a pioneering commander that all his comrades took as an example with his humble life, clear attitude towards the enemy and sincere comradeship. In the person of Comrade Martyr Alîşêr, we reiterate our promise to realize the victory we gave to all our martyrs.

Botan, which went through the history of our people with the resistances it developed, stood up again together with our party PKK, which developed under the leadership of Rêber Apo, and became the center of the struggle against the invaders. Botan, who embraced the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla and did not allow the colonialists to pass, at the same time welcomed our struggle with the serhildans he developed with great enthusiasm and sent thousands of his valiant sons to the ranks of the resistance. The PKK victory line that developed in Botan, the center of patriotism and resistance, created generations that grew up by assimilating the serhildan tradition.

After successful practices in the fields of Xakurkê, Gever and Şemzînan, he was included in the education process at Mahsum Korkmaz Academy to share his experiences as a competent guerrilla commander and to deepen in the art of war. Our comrade Alîşêr, who has deepened the philosophy of Leader Apo with the training he received, has also become one of the leading commanders of the new era, who has achieved a strong level in democratic modernity guerrillaism.

Expressing that his reason for joining the guerrilla ranks was to ensure the freedom of our country and our people, Comrade Qehreman remained true to this goal throughout his entire life of struggle and became the owner of a successful revolutionary march. When he joined the guerrilla ranks, his attention was first drawn to the guerrilla’s comradeship relations and the socialist lifestyle that adhered to the philosophy of equality, sharing and freedom.
