Press Release

Since the first day of the occupation operation, our forces have turned every place the occupiers have entered into a resistance area. Our forces are dealing heavy blows to the occupiers with the tunnel warfare-based fighting method of mobile units and are continuing the resistance with increasing performance.

The army of the Republic of Turkey is unable to achieve the desired result against the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla despite using all NATO-backed means and is committing war crimes with internationally outlawed bombs and chemical weapons. On 26 October, the Turkish occupation forces attacked our resistance areas four times with banned bombs and five times with chemical weapons. The chemical weapons used in the Girê Şehîd Pîrdoğan fighting positions resulted in a toxic black smoke. The smell of gunpowder spread first and then of chlorine. In addition, the resistance areas were bombed three times by fighter jets and six times by attack helicopters, and attacked dozens of times with howitzers, tanks and heavy weapons.
