Halil Hamuryen was called to work urgently while he was resting in his house on the night of July 15th. He went to the Gölbaşı Special Operations Department Headquarters and died a martyr’s death in the second bombing attack by the FETÖ traitors.
Martyr Halil Hamuryen came home after he finished work at the Ankara Gölbaşı Special Operations Department Headquarters on July 15th. He tucked his 3-year-old son into bed and started resting when he was called back to work, upon the coup attempt by FETÖ members.
His cousin Orhan Hamuryen called Halil Hamuryen after he heard about the bombing of Gölbaşı. His cousin told Hamuryen, “I’m fine. They have bombed this area. They called me to work. My battery is about to die. I’ll call you back.” Hamuryen’s family was not able to hear from him after the second bombing and they decided to go to Gölbaşı in the morning. They waited at Gölbaşı for two days. Orhan Hamuryen could not find the name of the martyr on the death list at the Gölbaşı Morgue. The Hamuryen family started calling all the morgues in Ankara to find Halil. They were finally able to track down Halil’s body as a result of the blood sample taken from him amongst 19 other non-identified bodies.
Halil Hamuryen was brought to Erciş, Van on Tuesday, July 19th and was buried with the tears of his loved ones. Five thousand people attended the funeral of Hamuryen, who was buried along with chants of “God is the greatest.”
“Raise my child in Ankara!”
Hamuryen who lost his mother when he was very young tried to stand on his own two feet after finishing high school. He became a Special Operations Police Officer after leaving his job in the textile industry. He worked in Hakkari Yüksekova for 4 years and attended operations actively. Then he stayed in Erbil for almost a year.
Before he passed away, Martyr Halil Hamuryen said to his wife, “If something happens to me, raise my child in Ankara. Let him study in Ankara.” His wife said that she will fulfill her husband’s wish.
The Private Serhat Elementary and Secondary School in Erciş, the hometown of the martyr, was renamed: Martyr Policeman Hamuryen Girls’ Anatolian İmam Hatip High School.
