Press Release

 The AKP-MHP fascist government is engaged in a total war against the Kurdish people by putting all kinds of facilities of the state into use in order to reach a result in the Kurdish genocide. Conflicts arise every day due to the orientations of the fascist power.

 Our guerrilla forces, against the enemy's invasion attempts, in the actions, developed continues inflicting heavy losses to the enemy with both resistances and the spirit of attack. The fascist power of the AKP-MHP, which fooled the Turkish public, gave the dates to finish the guerrilla, and finally, the Turkish Interior Minister Soylu mentioned that the guerrilla would be finished by November 20. Against the AKP's special war rhetoric, the guerrilla continues to frustrate all the fascist rhetoric and attacks by writing resistance epics in the mountains and towns of Kurdistan.

 One of the most striking resistances of the Guerrilla has been the Besta area of Botan. As the public knows, on November 3, the occupying Turkish army launched an operation with an air-assisted military force and hundreds of contras for the Besta region of Şırnak. Since the beginning, there have been intense conflicts in the area of operations. Our guerrilla forces have carried out effective actions against the many forces of the enemy who want to advance from the land. When the Turkish army could not fight against the guerrilla, as usual, it wanted to obtain results with the bombardments that it carried out from the air based on its technical power. During the ongoing operation, we had losses as well as the heavy losses of the enemy.

 Delal Amed, who was in the field command of Botan according to the information from the area of battle, and a group of our comrades, displayed a great heroic resistance and reached martyrdom.

 Our comrade Delal Amed (Hülya Eroğlu) came to the world in Amed in 1975 and has been in the struggle since 1992. Comrade Delal, who has been individually trained by Leader Apo, has succeeded all her life to being a self-sacrificing militant devoted to our Leader and party. Our comrade Delal, who participated in the struggle with the highest level of responsibility in all the field she has been in and made great efforts, has become a comrade who has come forward with her commanding personality as a strong, self-sacrifical commander in the military sense. Our Delal comrade, who also assumed the role of HPG Command Council and YJA STAR Central Headquarters Command and fulfilled all missions with a high spirit of success, was one of our comrade who personally coordinated the guerrilla resistance against the enemy's fascist attacks.
