Dozens of soldiers' bodies brought to Çukurca hospital
It is reported that the bodies of dozens of Turkish soldiers who died in the guerrilla-controlled areas in northern Iraq were brought to Çukurca State Hospital.
Mezopotamya News Agency reported that the bodies of at least 21 Turkish soldiers who died during the Turkish invasion attacks against the Zap, Avaşîn and Metina regions were brought to the State Hospital in Çukurca district of Hakkari province.
According to the report, the soldiers in question died while being treated in a military hospital established in the Serê Sêvê and Bilêcan regions near the border line.
The Turkish state has been concealing the number of its dead soldiers since the latest invasion campaign it launched in the guerrilla-held Medya Defense Zones in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) on April 17. It is reported that the Turkish army, which has resorted to the use of chemical weapons intensively, has suffered heavy losses in its war against the guerrilla troops.
According to the HPG, at least 2346 Turkish soldiers were killed between April 14 and October 14. Furthermore, 10 helicopters and two tanks of the Turkish army were destroyed.
