The invasion and annexation attacks of the colonialist fascist Turkish state against southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) continue with the support of the ruling KDP and the approval of the Iraqi state. New information about the role of the KDP in the invasion and annexation attacks emerges every day. The latest information is from Behdînan region.

In the area of Berê Silê, a touristic picnic area just east of the city of Amediyê, the Turkish state has opened a concrete construction site. Officially, this is a park, called Amediyê Park, and it is located in the area controlled by the Zêrevanî forces, known as the special forces of the KDP.

Girê (Hill) Amediyê is located west of Zap. During the last four years, when the occupation and annexation attacks continued intensively, Girê Amediyê witnessed the epic resistance of HPG and YJA Star guerrillas who stood in front of the occupation as an impenetrable fortress. The occupying Turkish army suffered heavy losses here and continues to do so. The aerial attacks by the Şehîd Axîn Mûş and Şehîd Doğan Zinar Units in particular pushed the occupation very hard in the summer months. Many high-ranking invaders, including the command staff at the rank of lieutenant colonel, were targeted and killed by the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrillas. It seems that stopping the occupation army in this way and inflicting heavy casualties on them has obviously pushed them very hard.

This area, which until recently was known as ‘seyrangeh’ by the local people who used to have picnics with their children, has been turned into a construction site by the Turkish army. This is very important in terms of showing another dirty face of the war being waged in Kurdistan. It is an example of how the Turkish Republic and its affiliated companies make dirty calculations on the blood of the guerrillas who gave their lives to stop the planned occupation and annexation and to protect the gains of Kurdistan.

The tender for the construction site established by the occupying Turkish army in Berê Silê, in other words Amediyê Park, was awarded to Süleyman Odabaşı, a collaborator from Diyarbakır. This collaborator company, which received the tender for the military construction site in the region as Odabaşı Transportation and Incorporated Company, is producing ready-made positions for the Turkish army. This construction site appears to be run and closely guarded by soldiers. Each concrete emplacement is reportedly 2 metres high and weighs 9 tonnes.

The occupying army is clinging to these positions in order to overcome the Zap syndrome and deep deadlock in Zap. It is thus trying to get rid of the blows it receives from land and air. The biggest harbinger and proof that this is not a panacea for the occupiers and that the Zap syndrome will continue to be a nightmare for the occupying army is the continuous actions of the guerrillas on the ground.
