The statement said: “Our comrades Numan and Adır were born in Amed, the stronghold of Kurdistan resistance. Amed is a sacred temple where the first seeds of resistance were planted and with its epic resistance against the tyranny of the massacring Turkish state it gives morale to the freedom movement. In these lands, resistance and struggle against cruelty has become a tradition. Our comrades Numan and Adır set out to the free mountains in order to continue this tradition and to be on the forefront of the struggle for honour.

Our comrades, who work in many areas of the resistance, have always managed to fulfil their duties with great responsibility and success. They have made great efforts to take part in the resistance ranks in Amed for years. Our comrades Numan and Adır, with their unwavering will and courage, fought for hours against the invading army alone, inflicting heavy losses to the invaders before eventually joining the caravan of the immortals. The resistance of our comrades Numan and Adır will always inspire the struggle for freedom.

We extend our condolences to all the patriotic people of Kurdistan and especially to the precious families of our comrades Numan and Adır and we promise that we will carry the flag of freedom lifted by our heroic martyrs to victory."
