Zelal Amed explained that the tasks that were undertaken by the fighters, Sakîne Cansiz, Fîdan Dogan and Leyla Şaylemez, and the identity that they enjoyed, and their adoption of the values ​​called for targeting them, and she confirmed that the women those who walk on the path of the three fighters will be held accountable for those responsible for the Paris massacre and will struggle to consolidate the foundations of a free life.

The member of the Kurdish Women's Movement in Europe, Zelal Amed, commemorated the three fighters, on the 8 eighth anniversary of their martyrdom.

Zelal said that" in 1998 I knew the comrade Sakîne Cansiz, when she was in Europe, she came to visit our workplace, that time we sat with each other and enjoyed with nice time, she wanted to know us, her eyes were carefully stared to our eyes, while listening to us, it was a meeting with an avant-garde woman who went through the history of Kurds, which was written by her, it was distinguished feeling. The first thing that caught my attention was her humility, and her speech that emanates from the bottom of the heart.

Also, when she was talking to us about the leader, we thought that she had never left the leader. If we wanted to define the relationship of women with the leader, it can be said that comrade Sakîne Cansiz is an embodiment of the ideological, political and moral relationship between the leader and the woman. Shared goals, shared dreams, practical struggle for women, peoples and all the oppressed, sincerity, constant love, ceaseless research and freedom are always common principles among human beings. Other relationships are bondage relationships. Comrade Sakîne Cansiz was loyal in this way. We witnessed many times how the martyr Sakîne Cansiz fights against slavery. Preventing the people from mistakes and directing them to the right was one of the reasons for which Comrade Sakîne Cansiz lived. She always defended the truth. Her stances against injustice were very important. These are the characteristics of Comrade Sakîne Cansiz. In this PKK movement these are the foundations of the leader. "

Spokeswoman for the persecuted

Comrade Sakîne Cansiz has been, since the establishment of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, a pioneering force in the Kurdish liberation struggle and in the women's liberation movement, and she is also a woman fighter, heroine, political, and the foundation of a free life in Kurdistan and the Middle East. In 1980 it was at the forefront of the resistance in Amad prison. Sakîne Cansiz is a fighter who knows how to represent the force of taking revenge for the persecuted and against the cultural and political genocide policy implemented against the Kurdish women in Dersim.

Zelal Amed indicated that she got acquainted with the fighter Fîdan Dogan (Rogbin) in the beginning of 2000 during the training, and explained that Fîdan Dogan drew attention through her morals, principles and talk, and Zelal continued, "She was very active. She was very actively participating in the lectures. Thinking as much as her activism. Her participation in life was remarkable to everyone. The voluntary attitudes that one enjoys gain meaning when they are applied. This is called “revival.” Comrade Fîdan Dogan had such an administration. She would not be content to sit down and say for everyone to look at me. around me".

She was using her strength and knowledge to organize. This is what made everyone around her, feel with her presence and meaning. It was a pleasure to discuss a problem with her, because she looked at all problems with a solution eye, because she was a fighter and working for a solution. With her young and mature personality, she was trusted by her comrades.

Fîdan Dogan, who lived the pain of her people who were subjected to massacres and were displaced from their lands in Albasta, where she was born, did not submit to the capitalist system even though she lived in Europe. It confronted the international conspiracy on February 15, 1999, and became involved in the struggle and revolution and introduced the peoples of the world to the ideology and directions of the leader. It was Kurdish diplomacy protecting Kurdish national interests in the face of dictators. She was walking on the path of comrade Sakîne Cansiz. "

Leyla Şaylemez was our sun during the day and our star in the evening

Zelal Amed said that she got to know the fighter Leyla Şaylemez (Ronahi) through youth activities, "She was from a patriotic family, as a young woman who was not afraid of masculine authority. Leyla was our sun in the day and our star in the evening that we are guided by."

The path's companion, Leyla Şaylemez, won the leadership of the youth movement in Kurdistan, as well as the young woman's movement, and she was able to transform the young generation into the position of the faithful and sacrificing woman at all times. At the same time, Leyla Şaylemez was walking the path of comrade Sakîne Cansiz. "

Zelal Amad asserted that the lives of the three martyrs are the summary of the history of women in Kurdistan.

Zelal Amed recounted one of her memories with the fighter Sakîne Cansiz, “We were together with comrade Leyla and other companions. She and I did not forget our long march in the mountains of Kurdistan. There were three of us. The place we wanted to go was far away. But the beauty and nature of this lively area did not make us feel the distance. Our conversation and our jokes during the breaks are still fresh in my memory, the martyrs we follow ... There was a river on our path. We were putting our hands in some hands. Comrade Sakîne said to me, (Imagine we cross the Hazel River to Bakur. Imagine that we arrived in Botan, Amad and Dersim ...) Then she returned to say (Our struggle gives women the most beautiful gift, an opportunity to fulfill their dreams). Thousands of women like Comrade Sakîne Cansiz are giving our dreams the chance to come true in the mountains and cities. I will never forget my career with her and her laughter, that career is an academic training for me. "

Women's freedom is more important than bread and water

Zelal Amed explained that the fighter Sakîne Cansiz was one of the foundations of the women's liberation movement in Kurdistan, and she was giving importance to women and looking forward to pushing them to play a pioneering role, and she continued, “She considered that women's freedom is more important than bread and water. She represented the line of free women in any event she participated in.

The new paradigm of leader Abdullah Ocalan is based on the foundations of women's freedom and revolution. These paradigms strengthened the spirit of struggle of comrade Sakîne Cansiz. She deeply hated the truth about a submissive woman and an oppressive man. She believed that every gender should fight for the emancipation of women. She believed that the man should strive to get rid of the masculine mentality. She was confident that a social struggle was more beneficial than an exclusively women’s struggle. She always struggled with her comrades and encouraged freedom. "

She was targeted because of her missions, identity, and values

Zalal Amed defined the Paris massacre as “a continuation of the international conspiracy on February 15, 1999, one of those painful plots that the liberation struggle has faced over the past 40 years.” Zelal Amed mentioned the leader’s saying "Those who kidnapped me and took me to Imrali prison, are the ones who committed the massacre.”

"We pledge to hold the conspiring forces accountable. This is a mission and a promise of honor for us," added Zelal Amed.

The three fighters were targeted because of their missions, identities and values. Comrade Sakîne Cansiz is one of the vanguard fighters and the first female comrade of leader Abdullah Ocalan. The identities of these women represent at the same time the identity of the Kurds and the Alawites and are the product of the identity of all the oppressed and anti-colonial struggles. The message that was sent to the leader, women and peoples is: Do not resist and stop the struggle.

Also, the massacre coincided with the beginning of the entry into the stage of finding a political solution to the Kurdish issue. The democratic solution and peace he sought was targeted by the perpetrators of the massacre, who also tried to carry out a military coup. The countries that created the Kurdish issue wanted to send a message that (no solution can be found outside of our desire). The massacre was committed in cooperation between Turkish intelligence MIT and the Gladio network. "

The French and European judiciary is questionable

Zelal Amed held France and the European Union responsible for not holding the perpetrators of the Paris massacre accountable. “The massacre took place in France, and France knows very well that Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Turkish intelligence are behind the massacre, and NATO is aware of that. But as these countries accept the dirty practices that Turkey is doing in The Middle East is hiding Turkey’s crimes for the sake of its interests. These forces sparked the Third World War. These forces destroyed the Middle East region. NATO is a partner in that. That is why the French and European judiciary is in doubt. But no matter how much they try to hide that massacre, the Kurdish people know the truth... Those forces will be held accountable. The revolutions themselves are tantamount to accountability. The Rojava revolution is a revolution of justice and protects the Autonomous Administration The transfer of the women's revolution to the global dimension is a historical account.

These women laid the foundations for a free life

Zelal Amed explained that the Turkish state hates women, the Kurds and all the strugglers. “The forces of the male authoritarian regime launch brutal attacks. These forces fear women's struggle. Women know this well. Women who follow the path of Sakîne Cansiz, Fîdan Dogan and Leyla Şaylemez are more insistent on pursuing struggle and organization. Adopted by women will start in Kurdistan and spread to the Middle East. For that and in any place, women will defend the achievements of the revolution and lay the foundations for a free life. So we have to establish a strong self-defense system and not leave any woman without organization. At the moment it is not enough to say that women are persecuted and the man is tyrannical. Sakîne Cansiz is the action and thought for women. In order to be fit for that, this means that we follow the path of martyrs, assume responsibilities, break the walls of isolation that fascism has placed around us, and demand accountability for those responsible. Every woman who believes in freedom and resists embodies of Sakîne Cansiz spirit.
