In this sense, the borders between us have been removed. Those who seek for truth and defend the values of freedom of humanity come together on these lands today. They hear each other’s voice everywhere in the world. Comrade Legerin was a lover of the paradigm of Leader Apo and free women. For this reason, she came here and met us.”

 

Şîlan Dağ spoke on behalf of her comrades during the event and she said, “Their reason for joining YPJ was the ideal of creating a new world. Helin had objectives and she came from England to Rojava for these objectives. There are hundreds of internationalists participating in the struggle here and Helîn and Legerin were one of them. We will continue to follow them.”
