The HPG disclosed the identities of the martyrs of Heftanin. "Our comrades, - said the HPG statement - who are concrete examples of great resistance and sacrifice combined with national spirit, have been turned immortal by writing their names in gold letters to the history of Kurdistan resistance."

The HPG Press Center said in a statement: “On 16 June 2020, the colonialist Turkish state launched one of the biggest operations in its history in order to occupy the Kurdistan territory. The fascist Turkish state, which aims at eliminating the Freedom Guerrilla, the free will of the Kurdish people, and everything it represents, has chosen the area of Heftanin as its target. On 16 June 2020 has proved once again that the will of the Freedom Guerrillas can more than the most sophisticated technology.”

The statement continued: “Under the leadership of the PKK, which revived the national spirit in Kurdistan, Kurdish youth headed towards the free mountains to take part in the resistance without hesitation. The Kurdish Freedom Guerrilla is answering to the fascist, colonial forces today as it has done yesterday.”

The statement released information on the identity of the martyrs of Heftanin.
