Harun – Naim Demir
Comrade Harun Xwinrej (Naim Demir) came to the world in Hakkari in 1996. He grew up in the years when the war in Kurdistan was at its most intense and met the enemy reality from his childhood as he took shape in a patriotic family and environment. Comrade Harun, who lived intensely of patriotic feelings and joined the guerrilla ranks early on, became a self-sacrificial from the moment he joined the guerrilla ranks. Comrade Harun, who struggled most actively in the Zagros mountains, one of the areas where the revolutionary people's war was most intense, did not even stand still for a moment in his war against the enemy, and until his very last breath became an example comrade who participated in devotion to Leader Apo and the Freedom Movement until his very last breath. As HPG, we give the message that we will fight until we achieve their ideals by adhering to the memories of comrade Harun who created great sadness in all who his comrades who knew him, and and all of the Kurdistan martyrs. We express our condolences to all our patriotic people, in particular the Demir family.
