With great sacrifice, morale and enthusiasm she tended to the medical needs of her comrades. Despite that, Comrade Lêgerîn always wanted to be in the foremost fronts in battle. She was full of great revolutionary morale and enthusiasm. She was loyal to Leader Apo with great love and consciousness. Comrade Lêgerîn had a meaningful and disciplined life, and was a comrade who thought all her services to the revolutionary struggle were not enough, and always strived for maximum participation.

We as the comrades of Helin, Avaşin and Lêgerîn promise that we will continue on their path of struggle to the end and create a free life. Until we take the path of freedom of these esteemed martyred friends to victory, we will fulfill all duties that befall us in a manner worthy of them. We will make our bodies into shields against the system of tyranny if necessary to bring to reality the dreams of martyred comrades who fought with the philosophy of women’s emancipation. We will increase and continue our struggle to the end against the system that considers the massacre of women to uphold their power a right. We promise once again that we will march on the path of our comrades. Comrade Lêgerîn will never die, she will forever live on in our struggle.”
