On average, the Turkish army used poison gas and unconventional bombs more than four times a day in June in the war against the Kurdish freedom movement and the population in the Medya Defense Areas of Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna.
In addition, there were countless attacks by conventional weapons. The Turkish army has been trying to occupy the regions with all its might since February 10, 2021. However, the guerrillas have continued to offer fierce resistance in the war tunnels and on the field for the fourth year now, inflicting heavy losses on the Turkish army.
The use of chemical weapons by the Turkish army in particular is a war crime and should be punished by the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). However, the use of poison gas, although documented and published dozens of times, is ignored by the international community. The protests of the democratic public and the Kurdish institutions have gone unheard. This allows NATO partner Turkey to systematically continue and intensify these war crimes.
