The HPG Press Centre has released a statement detailing the operations carried out in the past couple of days within the scope of the Martyr Piroz and Martyr Agirî Revolutionary Campaign in Çarçella area.

Here is the full text of the statement:

"Our forces carried out an action against the invading Turkish army. The details of actions are as following;

On September 5, at 07.10, our forces carried out an action against the invading Turkish army soldiers positioned on Lêlîkan hill in the Bradost region of Sidekan, located in Southern Kurdistan. The number of dead and wounded soldiers could not be determined in the action, where enemy positions and shelters were effectively hit from two sides.

Following the action, the invading forces bombed the area with howitzers and mortars indiscriminately.

On the evening of 4th September, the invading Turkish army conducted heavy air attacks on Çarçel hill in the area of Çarçella in Hakkari’s in Gever (Yüksekova) district. Following the action, the invading forces carried out set downs by the Sikorsky type helicopters.

Our forces carried out sabotage actions against operation forces of the invading Turkish army in the morning of 5th of September within the scope of the Revolutionary Campaign launched in the area.  In these actions, 8 enemy soldiers were killed and a large number of soldiers were wounded.

After the actions, the occupying Turkish army carried away dead and wounded soldiers from the area with a large number of Sikorsky helicopters.

The fascist AKP - MHP government and its pool media are in attempts to distort the blows inflicted in Çarçella with special warfare methods. With every statement they make in the mood of a victory, they mention exaggerated guerrilla losses.

The invading Turkish army’s blows are hidden from the public in these special warfare methods.

On September 4, at 13:00, our forces carried out an action against the enemy soldiers positioned on Xeregol hill in Hakkari's Çelê (Çukurca) district. The number of dead and wounded soldiers could not be determined in the action where enemy positions were struck effectively.

Invading forces then bombed Martyr Rüstem area indiscriminately with howitzers and mortars. Following the bombardment, a fire broke out in the area and still continues.
