Amed Firat Farqîn

The statement said: "Our comrade Amed was born in a patriotic family in the Farqîn district of Amed. He has known the Apoist movement since his childhood, as he grew up in an environment devoted to the values of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle. Our comrade Amed grew up with the memories of his uncle who fell as a martyr in the 1990s. Our comrade Amed decided to fight and participate in youth activities. He was arrested for a short time by the colonial Turkish state in 2014. He eventually joined the guerrilla ranks in Botan in 2014. In 2018, he received training at the military academy in order to transfer the experience he gained to the Medya Defense Areas. Concentrating on the Democratic Modernity Guerrilla, our comrade Amed returned to Gabar."

Agît Firat

The statement continued: "Our comrade Agît was born into a patriotic family from Nisêbîn. When he was born, he was given the name Agît in memory of our immortal commander, Mahsum Korkmaz, and he grew up with a patriotic culture worthy of his name. At the same time, he was brought up with the tradition of the Tori tribe, which is deeply connected to the social culture and freedom struggle.

Our comrade Agît went to Harran University. However, at the university he saw how these places were the center of assimilation. To counter this, he started an active struggle by participating in revolutionary youth activities in Urfa. He joined the guerrillas and operated in many regions of the Medya Defense Areas, especially Garê, Zap, Cilo, gaining great experience. He took part in mobile guerrilla units and played a role in actions that dealt heavy blows to the invading enemy. He moved to the Bakur field by training and preparing himself to practice the Guerrilla of Democratic Modernity and play a more effective role in leading our struggle to victory."
