The fact that the philosophy of PKK and Leader Apo is the only solution force for all parts of Kurdistan and the Middle East is becoming more and more evident. The life philosophy of Leader Apo is a door of hope for all oppressed peoples and it has been the basic struggle guide for peoples fighting for freedom." 

The statement added: "Our comrades Ajwan, Serdar and Numan got to know the Kurdistan guerrilla at a young age by growing up in a patriotic environment in different regions of Kurdistan. They witnessed the oppression of the occupying states against the Kurdish people and join the guerrilla ranks when they realize that the only force against the occupation is the PKK movement.

Our comrades Ajwan, Serdar and Numan have always learned and developed guerrilla-style tactics. While successfully passing all the trainings and undertaking important duties against the invasion attacks, they were an example for all their comrades with their determination to fight.

We wish all of our patriotic Kurdish people, especially the families of our fallen comrades, and promise that we will honour the legacy of our martyrs comrades with victory."
