Şevin Söğüt
(Sarin Awaz)
Date of immortality August 17, 2018


First of all, I would like to repeat my commitment to the Suruç martyrs, who accelerated my process of moving on to the political military field and free zones of the party, who strengthened my will, and who pushed me to organize myself on a new level when it comes to total revolutionariness.
When the enemy exploded that bomb in the garden of Amara1, it aimed to destroy, weaken, sap and terrify. It aimed at the Communist Youth Organization (KGÖ), which tightly commit itself to the ideology of its party, in order to suppress, to distance it from its party and its purposes. As a KGÖ member who witnessed Suruç and the Ankara Train Station Massacres, I experienced a period of time in which my rage against the enemy was knife sharpened every time and in which I shouldered organizationally bigger responsibilities every time.
Martyr Roza2, who delivered our stance, our message in a powerful way to the enemy and to all youth as a vanguard of the youth and young women, was an expression of a brand new level and a threshold for us. And I, again by performing an appropriate praxis for this message, informed my party about my demand to go to the military zones. Then I took place in the military force of my party in the lands of Rojava with a temporary duty. In the lands of revolution where I came as a KGÖ member, I got trainings in several fields of my party and undertook tasks in these fields. I was trained for six months at the Hüseyin Demircioğlu Academy3. And now, I am a MLKP member who has been in free zones for more than two years. I will go out on a journey to Dersim again, where I had been carrying out political work before I came to this free zones. This time, I am taking the road as a young female commander of the FESK4 Kurdistan Rural Unit of my party.*
If I talk about the power sources which fed and grew me throughout the journey from KGÖ to FESK guerrilla, our martyrs come in the first place. Undoubtedly, my comrades, my party toiled a lot for me, I got their irreducible contribution. But I know this, unless one brings into being in its consciousness, toiling can be too plain on its own. That's why, I owe a lot to our martyrs who purify my consciousness. Developments happened in Turkey and Kurdistan during two years that I have been here were blistering developments in terms of their historical meanings. We are actually part of a generation who has witnessed so many political and military changing and wars in such short time. We are at a time in which colonialist fascist dictatorship aggravated its attacks to the utmost. Starting from my party MLKP, we can say that revolutionariness is being tested and for some organizations, it is even a matter of life or death. Today, it cannot be the attitude of revolutionary parties and organizations just to stand aside and wait for "suitable days". History writes those who pay the heavy costs and those who fight continue to deal blows against the enemy, hitting big or small strikes. What this period demands and expects from us is higher quality and stronger warfare.
When I look at the mission and tasks given to each cadre in this direction, the stance of my party has always represented that the party will never give up its will to expand even wider fields as the enemy tries to corner it to a narrower field. It is true that we are the newest force in the Dersim guerrilla zone. Never hesitating to learn from comrades-in-arm, our party focuses on growing the guerrilla warfare also in this area with its all military experiences, accumulations and energy. In this areas where four of our comrades fell martyr, including the comrades taking part in the foundational works and comrade Martyr Baran who joined the unit in Dersim, it is our duty to root the tree which our party planted, to uphold the legacy of Baran Munzur, Devrim Şoreş, Arjin Selçuk5 and Alişer Dersim6, who showed us how to stand and fight relentlessly, with sacrifices after our resistance in Karadeniz neighborhood.
I am aware of that Roza will stand by me in every step I take during this journey to the heights of Dersim. Roza, as she dreamed, will get closer to the Dersim mountains as I get closer, my walk will complete her walk and dream. My mind and heart, my consciousness and body are so so strong with Roza. Physical absence of our martyrs becomes as meaningless as possible at times like this. I will carry the purest symbol of youth and young women, our Roza, to meet with one of the young female commanders of Dersim mountains, our Arjin. In the relation bonding me with my new task, in the action, life, rupture and will, in every moment I breath, I will grow them inside, and I will grow up myself with them too. I carry the consciousness and awareness of the task and responsibility that my party gave me. The path and my walk, of course will not be perfect without obstacles. But, I promise that I will perform a praxis facing with the process and a stance worthy of my party and martyrs in creating solutions and overcoming those obstacles. As a communist woman, I want to embrace the perspectives of our Communist Women's Organization (KKÖ) and my women comrades who are the collective mind of the organization, in the struggle against patriarchy and in demolishing traditional roles; I want to maintain a much stronger warfare by keeping alive in my heart and my consciousness, every single of my women comrades, who raised me and who I raised.
I believe that my party will keep on growing all around, in urban areas, in the rural, in the mountains, with its martyrs. New one always bears more forward one in its bosom. The task, that I am given by the party front I worked in, that is in a new area and on a new level, is pointing out more forward to me. And every new field that my party opens up, every new rank that it touches, also requires from all comrades, to leap a more forward point, stronger steps from vanguardship towards leadership. With this mission and foresight, much more demanding and bigger duties fall on the shoulders of our KGÖ, which is the vanguard of youth and future, of our KKÖ, which is born with the claim to be the vanguard of women's revolution and started to grow day by day, of our communist vanguard MLKP, which manages to grow and refresh itself with its defeats, victories and martyrs. To be one of the representatives of this makes me immensely happy. I have absolute trust in myself in adding and raising "the song of the mountain girl", which is the meaning of my name, to the song of hope, and I will go to my new working area as the voice of my party. I wish all the success to myself, to my comrades and to my party in the new period.

*Comrade Şevin, together with a group of comrades, was employed in the FESK Kurdistan Rural Unit, however, the application of this decision was postponed due to compulsory reasons. At that stage, our party decided to join the anti-colonialist, antifascist resistance against occupying attacks of the fascist colonialism led by Erdogan towards Southern Kurdistan, towards the Medya Defense Zones. Comrade Şevin was among the flag bearers for practicing this decision.
