Like the nightingales of the gardens, they remain lovestruck and enchanted when they utter your name. Like moths, they grow restless when they breathe in the scent of your hair.

The sound of night descends upon them, and sleep migrates from this homeland. From the pool of memories, your waves rise and caress the feelings. Avzêl (the marsh) takes its share of the clarity of your eyes and leaps up to witness the setting sun.

“The Painful Stories Are Ending Now”

She opens her eyes amid society’s suffering. She grows up with sorrowful stories about women. She fills her heart and mind with feelings of vengeance and begins searching for a way to end those stories. Zahîde Oner unites her beauty with that of the freedom movement and makes a heartfelt decision to join. Although her participation begins emotionally, through the training she receives she gives that emotion an organised form and becomes a guerrilla with a firm stance and determination.

“Comrade of the Zagros Mountain Range”

After completing her basic training, she moves to the region where she grew up. She becomes a comrade of the Zagros and breathes in the scent of her homeland’s freedom at close quarters. She loves every tree and fruit in Kurdistan’s natural world and finds harmony with them. She adorns life with these feelings and brings that beauty into being in the camp where she stays as well.

“They Are with You”

They send words with the flowers to the forest of the mind. Following you, thousands paint a picture of love with the fire of their hearts, for the future. They are with you in every moment of independence. Like you, they have hidden the price of their homeland’s freedom in their own lives. They free the stories of sorrow from the hands of the oppressors. Every day, they renew their promise to raise the flag of their martyrs.

“Pain Is People’s Food”

In Kurdistan, hardship is a gift. Joy is a wish for children. The people’s pain is people’s food. The only movement that has not bowed before this is the APOist movement. The APOists of this homeland stand shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, and wage their struggle with all their strength for the beauty of the sacred land.

Within the movement, Rêbîn Ozgûr works tirelessly to be a true APOist comrade to her comrades, and prepares those around her for this as well. Just as she takes responsibility for everything in life, she is also responsible and experienced in war. She continually deepens her understanding in the ideological and military fields. To honour the mothers’ labour, she dedicates herself, body and soul, to the revolution.

“The Beautiful Face of the Kurdish Girl Will Not Be Forgotten”

May your triumph be blessed; how beautifully the sorrow that has turned into a smile rests upon your lovely faces. Your faces will not be forgotten; they will always live in people’s hearts. On the nights of every season, your names will become a lullaby for the children of the colourful homeland. The painful stories have now ended; in our minds, the deeds of heroes take their place. We will adorn our days with your memories and continue the path of triumph.
