HPG said, “The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla inflicts major blows on the invading Turkish army in every field it is in, by assimilating the expert team fighting style and applying it correctly. It has been proven by the actions carried out that the expert team’s war style is capable of inflicting the most effective blows when it least expects it, by nullifying the intelligence and technique of the enemy everywhere from metropolitans to Bakurê Kurdistan, from Bakur to Medya Defense Areas. By displaying high combat performance and creative tactics, our forces both inflict strong blows on the enemy and distort the distortions and lies of the Turkish special war front. The last action taken by our professionalized teams, equipped with the spirit of Apoist sacrifice, in Botan was to prove and reveal this once again.
As a result of the actions of our forces; 13 invaders were punished, 1 invader was injured.
The invading Turkish army’s Resistance Areas; It bombed 5 times with banned bombs and chemical weapons, 8 times with warplanes, 15 times with attack helicopters, and dozens of times with howitzers, tanks, mortars and heavy weapons.
