The Press Office of People’s Defense Forces (HPG) announced the death of guerrilla fighter Eriş Avent Pasin last October.  Born in Erzurum in 1994, the guerrilla fighter got caught in a snow storm in the Serhat region of Northern Kurdistan and froze to death.

HPG announced the ID details of Pasin as follows:

Nom de Guerre: Eriş Avent Pasin First-Last Name: Musa Fırat Güven Place of Birth: Erzurum Mother's - Father's Name: Nurcan – Şanver Date and Place of Martyrdom: 21 October 2019 / Serhat

"I want to fight against the occupying forces in the place where I was first struck and where I faced attempts to be estranged from myown reality.” This was the wish of Êrîş Avent Pasin when he joined the guerrilla to resist the occupation in Serhat, where, as in many other areas of the region, a policy of assimilation and Turkification was pursued after the foundation of the Turkish Republic and was further advanced with the emergence of the Kurdish liberation movement.

The biography of the fighter published by the HPG also says:

"Our friend Eriş Avent Pasin lived with passion for freedom in the mountains of Kurdistan. He came here to realize his dreams. Already in the first moment of his participation in the guerrilla Eriş started to learn the knowledge of the mountains. He endowed himself with the philosophy of Abdullah Öcalan and became an exemplary militant, always setting a good example and conscientiously fulfilling the tasks entrusted to him. In view of his loss, we express our condolences to the family of Eriş and the patriotic people of Kurdistan. We promise to realize the dreams of our fallen friends and achieve freedom."
