Peoples’ Defense Center (HSM) Central Headquarters Command issued a congratulation message to the guerillas in Serhat and Botan regions, Northern Kurdistan.

In its message, the HSM Central Headquarters Command said the following:

TO THE SERHAT REGIONAL COMMAND

Your guerrilla forces’ effective and crushing blow against the Turkish army, which had launched an operation in Tendürek with advanced technological support, in the morning of May 11 is a serious response to the policies of enmity and genocide the AKP-MHP alliance pursues against the Kurdish people. We congratulate your command and the fighters that took part in this meaningful resistance for their successful actions, and hope that your success will continue.

Moreover, we salute and congratulate the Martyr Action Sabotage Squad for the successful action it carried out on May 11.

We salute all of your forces that carry out the initiative of Spring 2017, and wish you success.

TO THE BOTAN FIELD COMMAND

The crushing blow inflicted against enemy forces in the action on two hills in Besta’s Deriyê Sêva region on May 13, where your forces seized enemy weapons suffering no casualties, reflects the success level of your action. We congratulate all commanders and fighters that took part in the preparation and execution of this action, and wish them success.
