During the memorial ceremony, the co-chair of the Youth and Sports Body, Khonaf Khalil, delivered a speech in which she affirmed that "the massacre of Helanj, which targeted the three martyrs, is a continuation of Paris massacre and that the enemies of life and freedom do not allow women to advance their revolution and struggle. Therefore, women around the world must realize the truth and importance of the revolutionary struggle, continue it until the freedom of women of the whole world is achieved."

This was followed by a short film in the presence of dozens of Kobane residents, which showed excerpts from the biographies of the struggle of Sakine Cansız  and her companions who were martyred in the Paris massacre, and the challenges faced the struggler Sakine Cansız in Turkish prisons, along with dozens of prisoners.
