Press Release

The Turkish occupation army is not achieving any results against the steely will of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla and is trying to advance by using every form of war technique and war crimes.

The legendary resistance of our forces in the resistance areas of Şikefta Birîndara, Karker and Werxelê has been going on for about five months. Within this period, the Turkish army has not been able to airdrop and deploy troops everywhere despite all the technical attacks. For this reason, it is using excavators to clear the way to our fighting positions. The army of the Republic of Turkey is committing war crimes and waging a dirty war based on technical means. Nevertheless, it cannot prevent our forces from striking blows and inflicting casualties.
