2. We have shared with the public many times that the Turkish special war media wants to make up for the defeat in military terms in the practical field, with the lingering psychological war. The Turkish State, constantly making efforts to gain false victories by processing the balance sheet figures and the names of our commanders in the dirty media, has added to these futile efforts. All of the news and deliberately disseminated information on our forces in Siirt's Garısa and Herekol areas are all lies. The reports that our comrades in charge of our activities in these areas have surrendered are not true. We once again declare that these false news are made consciously through the media on the basis of psychological warfare.
