Kurdistan guerrillas continue to hit the Turkish army all around Kurdistan with their actions. The HPG guerrillas killed 3 soldiers in a Reo type military vehicle inside the outpost’s land in Gundê Mele in Şirnex (Şırnak) on June 27. The guerillas’ cameras captured the incident, and the soldiers’ bodies are visible in the footage. The guerrillas were significantly relaxed during the action.

The guerrillas who carried out that action spoke to ANF.

Felat Botan from the HPG guerrillas said they crossed the barbed wire and entered the hill, and that the Turkish forces were not expecting such an action at all. He said they set up an ambush in front of the Reo, and used their personal weapons, some grenades and a B-7 missile launcher. As the attack on the vehicle continued, they hit the hill: “The Turkish army couldn’t do anything. They started to fire into the area after we retreated. They thought they were so safe. They attempt to take Herekol and Kato. Of course, when they were hit where they thought they were safest, they went into shock. They thought that outpost was so secure, so when we hit them it struck their hearts.”

“THEY CAN’T HIDE”

Botan said the Turkish army will continue to perish in the outposts they build in Kurdistan, because the Kurdistan guerrillas are everywhere and they will always fight for freedom. Botan stressed that the Turkish forces will pay for what they did, wherever they hide.

Felat Botan called on the Kurdish youth regarding the genocide carried out in Kurdistan: “Currently they are engaged in policies of cruelty and destruction against the Kurdish people. We as the guerrillas of Kurdistan will fight this until the end. The Kurdish youth need to stand against this as well.”

“WE WILL HIT ANYWHERE WE WANT”

Another one of the guerrillas in the action was Cigerxwîn Nêçîrvan, and stressing that they will make any sacrifice for the freedom of Kurdistan and its people, he said: “As you can see, the Turkish army’s technology or the fortress-outposts they hide in are not enough to stop the guerillas. The Turkish army and Erdoğan himself have lost to the guerrilla long ago. The outpost in Gundê Mele, Şirnex where we carried out the action is in a strategic location, because there is an outpost on each of the two hills. For that, the Turkish forces thought they were safe. But we will hit anywhere we want. This action is proof of that.”

"DON’T FALL FOR THEIR LIES"

Guerilla Demhat Şoreş pointed out that the Kurdish people should not believe Erdoğan’s and his allies’ operations to make them believe that the guerrilla will be finished, and stressed the following: “Today the guerrilla holds the initiative in the war. The state attacks with all their resources. They said they would end the guerrilla and the PKK until spring, but today the guerrilla is stronger than ever. Every day there are soldiers’ funerals in various cities in Turkey. Despite that, the AKP is trying to trick the people with their own media. The Kurdish and the Turkish peoples should not believe Erdoğan’s words. The Turkish army can’t fight against the guerilla. We will relentlessly continue our struggle until the freedom of Leader Apo and the Kurdish people is achieved.”
