NEWSDESK, — In the first anniversary of the offensives of Iranian Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) on Qendil Mountains and the historic resistance of the Kurdish guerrillas, the coordination of Kurdistan’s Free Life Party (PJAK) released a statement remembering the great commander, martyr Simko Serhildan.
In the statement PJAK remarks that as the result of the resistance of the Kurdish guerrillas and dedication of martyrs such as Commander Simko Serhildan they brought about a momentous victory.
The statement continues as follow:
A year has passed since the invasion of Qendil launched by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC). As the result of heroic resistance of our comrades and sacrifices of our martyrs, a new epic was created which led to defeat of IRGC. In the first anniversary of the martyrdom of our great commander, comrade Simko Serhildan, we honor and respect all the martyrs who offered their lives to freedom, particularly those who lost their lives in the epic of Qendil fighting alongside commander Simko bringing about such a historic victory.
Without a doubt, martyr Simko has played a special role and boasts a significant status in the liberation movement of East Kurdistan pioneered by PJAK. With dedication, sacrifices and high spirit of resistance and altruism he became a symbol at the leadership level. Among the ranks of East Kurdistan Defense Forces (HRK), comrade Simko was a model of a powerful commander and a creative guerrilla. He was a manifestation of authentic and revolutionary personality of the modern time. With true understanding of Leader Apo’s teachings, he managed to bring about a turning point in his concepts and character. Practically at the struggle’s field and within his life, he was representation of a free and modern human.
Concentrating on the concept of self-preservation, he was always ready to offer sacrifices and dedication for his people and his country. At all times he was striving to solidify the guerrilla ranks, improve technical sides and generate innovation in the guerrilla style struggle. As a commanding and comradeship mission, he continuously endeavored to teach and train the guerrilla forces in East Kurdistan and in this respect he was a unique commander in the hearts of all of our comrades.
Through the epic of Qendil, comrade Simko had always positioned himself at the forefront of the battles sharing all the hardship and adversity of the war at the leadership level. Owing to this fact, in the victory of guerrillas in this war and the creation of Qendil’s epic martyr Simko played a decisive role and had a significant status in it.
Following the martyrdom of comrade Simko, the principles, methods and characteristic of this heroic martyr are everlasting concepts among the guerrilla ranks. As the result of heroism manifested by comrade Simko and other martyrs, hundreds of Kurdish youth swore the oath and joined the guerrilla ranks. The epic of Qendil generated a great enthusiasm and morale among the Kurds giving them a new hope. It also strengthened unity and cohesion among Kurds and pushed them one step further toward freedom. Owing to this, martyrs Simko, Egid, Sarya, Shahan, Tekosher, Befrin, Zerdesht, Ewindar and all of martyrs of Qendil resistance are always in the heart of our people and never will die.
As the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK) we will remember all the martyrs of Kurdish liberation movement in the character of the martyrs of Qendil resistance and manifest our adherence to their concepts and line and reinstate our pledges to continue their struggles.
