OUR BASE MORDEM COMPANY IS MARTYR
“Our comrade Baz Mordem, who took part in the historical resistance against colonialism at the resistance positions in the Medya Defense Zones on August 4, 2022, died as a result of an illness he was caught. Our comrade Baz Mordem became one of the resisters who opened a new page in the history of freedom of our people by developing an epic resistance against the colonial enemy, and became an exemplary Apoist militant with his courage and determination in the war. Our comrade’s sudden martyrdom as a result of illness has deeply saddened us, our comrades, and our people. We promise that we will definitely realize this dream of our comrade Baz Mordem, who has the dream of a world where all peoples can live together in a free, democratic and peaceful environment, and we express our condolences to all patriotic people of Kurdistan, especially his valuable family.
The identity information of our comrade Baz, who has been martyred, is as follows:

Code Name: Baz Mordem Name Surname: Mehmet Can Evren Place of Birth: Amed Mother – Father Name: Sultan – Mehmet Martyrdom Date and Place: 4 August 2022 / Avaşîn |
Amed has become the symbol of resistance in the history of Kurdistan with its thousands of heroes it has brought from its bosom and the honorable stance of the people of Amed against colonialism. With this feature, it not only pioneered the Kurdistan Revolution, but also became the most outstanding example of the reality of the resisting people. Some of our comrades were born in a patriotic family on such a social ground. His family’s adherence to Kurdish values and his witnessing of the tortures of the enemy in the Amed Dungeon were influential in the formation of patriotic awareness. For this reason, as a whole, they were committed to our struggle for freedom and tried to fulfill their patriotic duty. Again, there were participations in the guerrilla ranks from the family circle, and this also affected our comrade Baz. Our comrade Baz, who took his place in the ranks of the struggle like every honorable Kurdish youth in the first years of his youth, involved in youth work. Although he came to the fore with his successful practices during the periods he took part in the works, he did not limit himself to mere actions, but became conscious by reading and researching. For this reason, he acted with a revolutionary consciousness in every work he took part in and did not accept any criteria other than success. On this basis, he was deeply affected by our Leader’s letter, which was read in the Newroz area of Amed in 2013. With this level of awareness, our base comrade turned to the mountains of Kurdistan in 2014 and joined the guerrilla ranks. On this basis, he was deeply affected by our Leader’s letter, which was read in the Newroz area of Amed in 2013.

On this basis, he was deeply affected by our Leader’s letter, which was read in the Newroz area of Amed in 2013. With this level of awareness, our base comrade turned to the mountains of Kurdistan in 2014 and joined the guerrilla ranks.
Our comrade Baz, who received his basic training after joining the guerrilla, drew strong conclusions from these trainings because of his interest in guerrilla and his anger towards the enemy. Comrade Baz, who gained a solid foundation to become a competent freedom guerrilla, continued to improve himself in the field of Qendil, where he later went. Comrade Baz was deeply affected by the fact that ISIS gangs carried out massacres against our people and that our people poured into the resistance ranks from seven to seventy. Our comrade Baz, who thinks that he should take more responsibility as a freedom guerrilla, has gone to the war front to fight against ISIS gangs. Our comrade Baz, who has always been at the forefront in the war against gangs, has been one of our comrades who led the war with his selfless participation. Our comrade Baz, who is a source of strength to his comrades with his courage and high morale in the war, has managed to become an exemplary Apoist militant. Returning to the mountains of Kurdistan after a successful practice in the war against the gangs, our comrade Baz went to Avaşîn to apply his war experience against the invading Turkish army and share it with his comrades. As a commander, he shared his war experiences with his comrades in this field, educated them, and led all his comrades with his self-sacrificing and laboring stance in life. For this reason, our comrade Baz, who is loved and respected by all his comrades, has always strived to be worthy of our Leadership and our martyrs. With this awareness and concentration, it resisted the invasion attacks launched by the enemy against Medya Defense Areas, especially Avaşîn area, in 2021, He took part in many actions that dealt a blow to the enemy. Again, in the historical process we are in, our comrade Baz, who fought selflessly against the enemy attacks, showed great sacrifice for the successful implementation of the war tactics of the new period guerrillaism.
Our comrade Baz, who sharpened himself with his great anger against the enemy, has always been a sought-after comrade for his humble stance in life, his love and respect for his comrades, as well as his unwavering will in battle. We are honored to have taken part in the resistance positions and to fight with such a valuable comrade. In the person of our base comrade, we reiterate our promise of victory to all our martyrs.
