Kurdistan People's Defence Forces

Press Release

Equipped with the spirit of victory of our immortal commander Comrade Egîd and using the new era professional guerrilla tactics, our forces continue to inflict heavy blows on the invaders.

Our struggle, which started with the 15 August Breakthrough and has become the hope of all oppressed peoples today, emerged as a result of the historical resistance developed by the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla along the line of sacrifice. Despite all the technology and dirty war methods it uses, the colonial Turkish army, which cannot break the resistance of our guerrillas, wants to get results by bombing the lands of Kurdistan intensively. The invading Turkish state, which writes false victory stories every day and tries to deceive the society through private war media, tries to hide its defeat against the guerrilla will.

The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, living and fighting selflessly, will crown its unique resistance with victory to realize our people's dreams of freedom.

 In the actions to greet the 15 August Resurrection Day 4 invaders were punished, 2 thermal cameras and 1 surveillance camera system were destroyed. The invading Turkish army, on the other hand, bombed the Resistance Areas 5 times with warplanes, 9 times with attack helicopters and dozens of times with howitzers.
