In this Context, in retaliation of the recent military operations against our guerrillas in the areas of Gabar and Cudi, the slaughtered young patriot named Aydin Erdem in the city of Amed, and the policies of death-pit against our leader Abdullah Ocalan, one of our unit belongs to the Dersim Region, without any instruction given by the HPG Central Command, have carried a retaliation action against the unit of soldiers belongs to the Turkish state army on 7th of December, 2009, in the area of Sazak/Resadiye/Tokat. As a result, one special sergeant and 6 soldiers, total of 7 soldiers were killed and 3 soldiers wounded.
During, all alone the Non-Action Period, our forces showed a great sensitivity and a common sense against the all sorts of attack carried by the TC System (Turkish State Republic). However, what should be understand that our legitimate defence force, the HPG Guerrillas, is very sensitive about our leader and martrys. If there is a concern in regarding to our leader and our martrys, each unit has the right to use their own initiative.
