Gülnaz Karataş

Gülnaz Karataş (1971–25 October 1992),[1] nom de guerre, Berîtan,[2] was a female fighter of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).She became a Kurdish cultural figure after dying, and a symbol of women within the guerrilla movement.In the 1990s she was often featured in PKK publications, including Serxwebûn and Berxwedan magazines.The commander of the adversary peshmerga called on her to surrender, but she threw herself off a cliff in order to avoid arrest.[9][7] In 1993, her death served as an inspiration to Zeynap Kinaci for her suicide attack against the Turkish military.
