“The guerrilla struggle remains the people’s hope and honour. The Medya Defense Zones are part of Kurdistan: The guerrillas’ presence here is legitimate, while the Turkish fascist state forces are invaders,” said AvEG-Kon.

Reports are coming through that many soldiers of the Turkish army have been killed in clashes with guerrillas in Gare region where a Turkish cross-border operation is underway.

The territorial command of Gare said: “The fierce fighting in the area of Siyanê continues. The initiative in the field lies with our forces. A large number of members of the occupation forces were punished by our forces.”
