NUDEM SIDAR
The ancient people of Kurdistan, who were exposed to the most brutal genocide attacks in history by the colonialists, continued their struggle to live with dignity in a free life line by preserving their existence. Our people, who have settled in the mountains of Kurdistan and resisted in the face of every attack, have regained their identity together with the PKK, our party that developed under the leadership of Rêber Apo, and has become the hope of all the oppressed by crossing Kurdistan. Rêber Apo’s freedom march, which developed the line of resistance in every inch of Kurdistan, was early embraced by our patriotic Serhed people. Combining the deep-rooted culture of resistance with the PKK’s line of victory and Rêber Apo’s new philosophy of life, our people of Serhed took part in every moment of our historical resistance that lasted for half a century.
Our comrade Nûdem was born in Teterqazî village of Milazgîr, Muş, one of the resistance centers of Serhed. The family of our comrade Nûdem had to migrate from the ancient lands of Kurdistan to Istanbul from the metropolises of Turkey, due to the genocidal policies developed by the colonialist Turkish state. As a young Kurdish woman, the assimilation attacks of the invaders in the metropolises, targeting the Kurdish society and its future youth, caught the attention of our comrade Nûdem early. The system’s effort to create a rootless and memoryless generation by destroying the society and creating a rootless and memoryless generation by paving the way for individualism and selfishness has created contradictions in our comrade. Coming from a family and environment with many martyrs and participation in the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle, our comrade Nûden got to know our Party from his childhood and also closely followed it. The martyrdom of her uncle Sîpan (İlhami Taşkın) in 1992 and her close relative, Sîdar Viyan, in 2009 in Milazgîr, Muş, made our comrade Nûdem determined to stand up for the struggle legacy of our immortal martyrs.
Her devotion to the reality of martyrs and the inhuman attacks of the colonialist Turkish state against our people have led our comrade Nûdem to a new life and a right start in the ranks of the PKK. Our comrade Nûdem became aware of the fact that our people cannot achieve their full freedom by fighting within the borders of the system, and that a free future can be established with the struggle carried out in the mountains of Kurdistan, joined the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla in 2010.
She trained and developed herself in the ranks of the struggle despite never having studied in the system schools, has become a loyal student of Rêber Apo’s free life school who learns quickly, puts what she has learned into practice and enriches it by sharing it with her comrades. Our comrade Nûdem became a pioneer in a short time and led her comrades, had no difficulty in integrating with the sacred guerrilla life with her sincere and clean essence. Raising both the concept of comradeship and her comrades with the strong ties of comradeship she has established, our comrade Nûdem has established unshakable ties with the PKK’s spirit of victory from the very first day and has been in an effort to strengthen these ties continuously. Our comrade, who successfully completed the basic guerrilla training she received in the Xakurkê field, remained in the same field after her training and carried out a successful practice for four years. Our comrade took the responsibilities required by the process by deepening both in the ideological and military fields and successfully carried out her work, became a competent YJA Star militant by becoming a commander. Our comrade Nûdem, who takes time for each of her comrades and considers herself responsible for their development, has left deep traces on every comrade with whom she lived and commanded. She has always made an effort to make the PKK and PAJK lines dominate and deepen in life, and she has found a strong response in her labor comrades. Comrade Nûdem, who became involved in the KJK activities after her successful practice in Xakurkê, provided great ideological depth in this process and became a competent pioneer in the Women’s Freedom Ideology. Our comrade Nûdem was constantly trying to understand the Rêber Apo philosophy. She wholeheartedly believed in the Ecological and Women’s Libertarian Leadership paradigm and devoted every moment of her revolutionary life to realizing Rêber Apo’s philosophy of freedom. Our comrade Nûden, who moved to Heftanîn after her work at the KJK, became competent in many different areas of our revolutionary struggle and made herself ready for any task at all times.
Comrade Nûdem joined Hêzên Taybet in 2017 to meet the militant duties required by the process, to be a militant in the line of the Leader, to deepen self-sacrifice and to walk stronger in the footsteps of our immortal martyrs. She took absolute success as a basis for herself in the tasks she took and did not recognize any limits by removing the impossible. Our comrade Nûdem has never created obstacles to herself with justifications, and has always managed to find a solution to the problems she encountered. It has a style that is focused on its target and takes action on this basis. Our comrade Nûdem has become the owner of a stance and participation that makes an effort to devote herself to a whole in both heart and mind and at the same time aims to reach her goals absolutely. Hêzên Taybet made great changes in her personality with the training she received in her ranks, deep in thought. Above all, our comrade Nûdem, who has a simple personality, has earned the love and respect of all her comrades with her humble personality as a commander and at the same time her self-sacrificing stance. The most distinctive feature of our comrade Nûdem has been the style that considers himself responsible in terms of Party life and Party comradeship, does not spare any of his comrades, helps and supports her comrades, and at the same time tries to understand. Despite growing up in a metropolitan environment, our comrade Nûdem, who preserved her own essence and managed to stay connected to her culture, reflected this in the strans she sang. The most distinctive feature of our comrade Nûdem has been the style that considered herself responsible in terms of Party life and Party comradeship, does not spare any of her comrades, helps and supports her comrades, and at the same time tries to understand.
Our comrade Nûdem sacrificed in the line of Zîlan to respond to the attacks developed in the Imrali torture and genocide system against our Leader, to revive our people’s hope for a free future, and to carry the flag of struggle of our immortal martyrs to victory. Our comrade Nûdem, who became a star and joined the caravan of immortals, will definitely carry the flag of struggle that he handed over to us, her comrades who remained behind.

DILDA DILBIRIN CUDI
The PKK is the name of the re-emergence of the Kurdish people, who have been the cradle of many revolutions in history and have lived for thousands of years in the ancient lands where the first socialization took place. Our people, whose language, culture and history were ignored by the colonial states and who were dying in the grip of genocide after being subjected to all kinds of inhuman attacks, rose again with the freedom march of Rêber Apo and became the hope of freedom for all the oppressed. The seeds of hope planted in the soil by Rêber Apo at a time when the policy of genocide was carried out in the most brutal way in Kurdistan, sprouted in the fertile lands of Kurdistan and has survived to this day despite all attacks. Our struggle, which was carried out breathlessly at every moment and developed with the blood of martyrs shed drop by drop, was embraced with great enthusiasm by our patriotic people. Botan, which has always been the center of resistance in Kurdistan from history to the present, has come to the fore as the place where the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla grew up as a people and a historical resistance was given, and turned into the reality of the people marching on the line of victory, the first bullet that Commander Egîd (Mahsum Korkmaz) fired at the invaders. The valiant sons of our Botan people, who do not allow the occupation and occupiers and always have a great insistence on a free life, have participated in the historical resistance carried out in the ranks of the guerrilla.
Our city of Sirnex, which is the center of the resistance and the serhildan in Kurdistan and located in the heart of Botan, has determined the line of resistance in Kurdistan as a concrete example of the reality of the people fighting and the integration of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle with our patriotic people. Our comrade Dilda, who was born in the patriotic Kulter family of the Jafiri tribe, was born into this strong and invincible tradition of resistance. Our comrade Dilda’s growth in an environment where the system cannot break, strong social ties are at the forefront and where Kurdistani values and patriotic resistance culture dominate has had a great impact on the formation of the strong identity of our comrade Dilda, which developed at a young age. On the one hand, she witnessed the historical guerrilla resistance and unprecedented heroism in Botan, on the other hand, the inhuman attacks of the colonialist Turkish state against our people. Our comrade Dilda, who brought the line of struggle and the enemy’s reality to consciousness, and did not consider remaining silent in the face of colonial attacks as an option, constantly improved her level of consciousness and started to get to know the Rêber Apo philosophy and the PKK more closely. Our comrade, who also saw the fact that the female identity was squeezed between four walls and cut off from its essence, was very impressed by the reality of female guerrilla in the mountains of Kurdistan as a young woman, and needed to understand the Rêber Apo philosophy, which revealed this, in more depth. As a young woman seeking freedom, our comrade, who was very angry at the massacres carried out by the colonialist Turkish state during the Self-Government Resistance, gave her answer to the invaders by joining the ranks of the struggle. Our comrade Dilda, who fought against the invaders by participating in the honorable resistance struggle of our people, did not leave the resistance lines and continued her struggle until the last moment, despite being injured. Our comrade, who wants to be an answer to our people’s hopes for a free future by taking part in the resistance of the history given under the leadership of Martyr Çiyager and Martyr Zeryans, has always taken it as a basis to take his struggle one step further.
Our comrade Dilda knew herself better in the struggle and always felt indebted to our martyrs and our people, never gave up on her quest for freedom and this quest brought her to the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla. Our comrade, who joined the guerrilla ranks in Botan, continued his struggle by completing basic guerrilla training in the same field. She was very impressed by the strong comradely relations of the PKK, has always been in a concentration to become a qualified militant who walks the line of freedom and has internalized these concentrations and transferred them to life. Our comrade Dilda made good use of the chance to experience her first guerrilla experience in Bakure Kurdistan, became a pioneer militant and well-cooked in practice. She later moved to Medya Defense Zones, has deepened in guerrilla tactics and gained great competence in the ideological field with the military training she received. The fact that there are many martyrs from his family and close circle has enabled our comrade Dilda to have a participation based on raising the struggle by protecting the legacy of our immortal martyrs. Our comrade Dilda, Martyr Deniz Herekol (Mehmet Selim Kulter), Martyr Botan Cudi (Omer Kulter), who gave their lives in the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle for a free future for our people, Martyr Kajîn Ferman (Gift Kulter) and Martyr Sîpan Besta (Cengiz Kulter) and Martyr Bahoz Besta (Cemil Kulter), who became martyrs by fighting selflessly in the struggle for Self-Government Resistance of our people, dedicate every moment to the struggle for the victory of the struggle of all our martyrs. Our comrade Dilda, who knows very well the fact that the PKK is the party of martyrs and has always struggled at a high pace to bring our martyrs’ dreams of freedom to life, became one of our comrades who responded to the process by taking the lead.
Comrade Dilda, who made a great effort to become competent in the military field as a militant involved in Rêber Apo’s freedom march, has come to the fore with the depth she has captured in guerrilla tactics. His competence in many areas has enabled our comrade to turn to new areas and release a great energy. Our comrade, who worked hard in every field he stayed, took an active part in the infrastructure works of the historical guerrilla warfare and pioneered the achievement of effective results. The identity of free women, which was revived with the Rêber Apo philosophy in the PKK ranks, reunited with its true identity and adopted a historical mission as the main force building the new life, has been the basis for the training of competent militants in our struggle ranks. Dilda broke the walls that were drawn by the system and imprisoned women, with the strength of our comrade Rêber Apo’s new philosophy of life, recreated herself in the line of free woman. Our comrade Dilda embodied the leading role of women in the struggle, became a commander and made great achievements in many important works, has been worthy of all the responsibilities she took as a militant of difficult tasks and periods. The desire to learn of our comrade Dilda, who gives her color to every environment with her lively, morale and exciting personality, has set an example for all her comrades.

VİNAR HÊVI
Our party PKK, which developed under the leadership of Rêber Apo, resurrected a people caught in the grip of genocide, subjected to the most brutal attacks in history and brought to the brink of extinction, has revealed the most magnificent epic of resistance in history. Our party PKK, which has been knitted like digging a well with needles in conditions where there is no sign of hope, and has turned into the hope of a free future for all oppressed peoples, women and youth today, was built on the sacred values created with the blood of our immortal martyrs. Our patriotic people, who insist on living with dignity despite the inhuman attacks of the colonialists, participated in Rêber Apo’s freedom march with great enthusiasm and embraced our freedom struggle with the serhildans he developed. The brave sons of our people, who follow the insistence on a dignified life and a free future that spread to every inch of Kurdistan, flowed into the ranks of the struggle during the peak of the attacks and increased their resistance. Our resistance, each moment with a sharp struggle, has brought up generations of Apoists who grew up among serhildans and did not allow the occupation and the invader to pass.
Our city of Amed, the center where the resistance was first popularized in Kurdistan and the flag of serhildan flies at the highest, has experienced the justified pride of witnessing the firsts that marked our history of struggle. Our city of Amed, which witnessed the establishment of our party PKK and has always protected the spirit of victory created by the Amed Dungeon Resistance, sent thousands of its children to the ranks of the struggle, and welcomed its sons who were martyred in the ranks of the resistance with serhildans. Our patriotic people of Amed, the center of uninterrupted resistance, have been specifically targeted by the invading Turkish state. All the attacks of the occupiers, who wanted to destroy the will and will of the people of Amed with their policies of assimilation, denial and destruction, were responded to with the developed resistance and the occupiers could not reach their goals.
Many of our patriotic families, who had to migrate from the ancient lands they lived to the metropolises due to the attacks of the colonial Turkish state, took the culture of resistance with them wherever they went and never broke their ties with the struggle. Our comrade Vînar was born in a patriotic family originally from Amed and had to immigrate to Adana due to the attacks of the invaders, grew up connected to the tradition of resistance created by the PKK and intertwined with Kurdistani values. Growing up far from the holy land of Kurdistan did not diminish our comrade’s patriotic feelings, on the contrary, it made him feel great anger against the invaders who caused this situation. The family and close circle of our comrade Vînar, who grew up with a longing for the country in her heart, joined the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle. It also helped our comrade get to know Rêber Apo and our party PKK early on. As a young and honorable Kurdish woman, our comrade, who did not hesitate to join the ranks of the struggle, has constantly increased the level of determination in the struggle. In this process, our comrade, who read Rêber Apo’s analyzes and was very impressed, raised awareness of how women’s identity and true freedom can be achieved. Our comrade, who believes that she must respond to the genocidal attacks against our people in Rojava, Shengal and Maxmur, joined the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla in 2015, when the destruction attacks intensified, and gave the necessary response to the enemy. It has constantly increased the level of resolution in the struggle. In this process, our comrade, who read Rêber Apo’s analyzes and was very impressed, raised awareness of how women’s identity and true freedom can be achieved.
Our comrade Vînar, who met in the mountains of Kurdistan with the land of the country she has always longed for, found her identity in the mountains of Kurdistan. Our comrade, who completed the first guerrilla training in the field of Qendil, started practical work in the same field. Our comrade Vînar, who has turned into a competent pioneer with his three-year guerrilla practice in the field of Qêndîl, is based on responding to the duties and responsibilities of the period by constantly improving herself. Our comrade Vînar immediately attracted attention with her sincere and humble personality, quickly became integrated with her comrades in every environment he was in. With her researcher personality, she constantly improved herself and her comrades around her, and she was always at the forefront with her working personality. Our comrade Vînar, who based her struggle on a fast-paced participation, never accepted an ordinary march. Questioning her personality in the face of the reality of the Leadership, our comrade never found herself sufficient and always sought ways to participate more. She stood out with her brave and self-sacrificing features and set an example for all her comrades. Our comrade Vînar, who adds her own color and morale to every environment she was in, has succeeded in fulfilling her pioneering role as a YJA Star guerrilla with these characteristics.
The martyrdom of her brother Derwêş Demhat (Firat Sağlam) and her close relative Arîn Dêrsîm (Pelda Sağlam) while fighting against ISIS gangs in Rojava enabled our comrade Vînar to claim the legacy of our martyrs’ struggle with greater strength. Our comrade, who was committed to the fact that the best answer to the efforts of our immortal martyrs will be to increase the resistance and carry it to victory, has had a strong participation in this line. She has captured a great depth of meaning, has also reflected the depth she has captured in the ideological field to his participation in the military field. Our comrade, who became competent in guerrilla tactics with the academic training she received, took her place at the forefront and fought selflessly against the invasion attacks of the colonialist Turkish army targeting the Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna areas. Our comrade Vînar, who took an active part in the Cenga Xaburê Martyr War Maraş Revolutionary Campaign and successfully put the mobile team style into practice, took part in many actions that dealt heavy blows to the invaders.
Our comrade Vînar, who fought selflessly throughout his revolutionary life and participated in life with great strength, reflected the PKK and PAJK line in every aspect of his life. The legacy of struggle left behind by our comrade Vînar, who devotedly dedicating every breath he takes to the free future of our people, will definitely be crowned with victory.”
