According to Kurdpress, quoted by the Guardian newspaper and the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands, Dylan Yishilgoz-Zegrius was born on June 18, 1977 in Ankara in a Kurdish family from Darsim. His father, Yucel Yeshilguz, was a human rights activist and lawyer, and his family had to leave the country after the 1980 Turkish military coup due to political activities. He arrived in the Netherlands as a refugee at the age of seven and later received a master's degree in cultural sciences and management from the University of Amsterdam.

Yeshilgoz started his political career in leftist parties, but in 2009 he joined the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD). In 2017, he became a member of the Dutch Parliament, in 2021 he was appointed as the Minister of State for Economic Affairs, and in 2022 he took the helm of the Ministry of Justice and Security. After the resignation of Mark Rutte, she became the first woman to lead the VVD party and now serves as Minister of Defense and Deputy Prime Minister.

In his positions, he has always emphasized on strengthening the defense base of the Netherlands and Europe and has warned that "our security is at risk and we cannot be naive". According to him, investing in the armed forces is necessary to preserve the European way of life and freedoms.

Yeshilgouz has also adopted a strict approach towards terrorism in the past years and in 2019 he demanded that Dutch citizens who are members of ISIS, who were detained by Kurdish forces in Syria, should be tried in the same region and not returned to the Netherlands.

According to the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands, which did not mention that she is Kurdish, this female politician was born in Ankara on June 18, 1977 and entered the Dutch political scene from the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD).

The website of the Dutch Ministry of Defense quoted him as saying: "Our own security is at stake - we cannot be naive about it. If we want freedom to win and our way of life to survive, the Netherlands and Europe must take their destiny into their own hands. I take this responsibility very seriously and strong armed forces are essential to its success. In the coming years, we will make the largest investment in history in our defense organization. "This is vital to protect our way of life."

According to the report of this website, the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands is one of the most important ministries of the country with more than 96,000 personnel
