The invasion attacks launched by the Turkish army on 14 April 2022 against the regions of Zap, Metina and Avaşîn in Medya Defense Areas, have been going on for 7 months. Speaking from the war front, Fırat Koçer, one of the HPG commanders, said that they would inflict a historic defeat on the invading army in the Zap.

He said that they had completed the first phase of the war and that they will completely defeat the forces of the invading army in the second phase. Commander Koçer said, “The participation, morale and enthusiasm of all friends are based on this: the certainty that we will win."

They cannot attack Zap again

Emphasizing that Zap has a special place in both the history of the Kurdish Freedom Movement and the history of the Kurdish people, commander Koçer conveyed the following information from the war front: “Zap, will once again become a grave. We will hit them in such a way that they can no longer launch an invasion attack on Zap.”

Commander Koçer continued: “As a requirement of the loyalty of all our fallen friends, we will fulfil our duties and responsibilities. Because our friends fell as martyrs in this process. We will not leave their weapons on the ground."

Emphasizing that they will fight to the end for the physical freedom of the Kurdish people and Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan, commander Koçer said that 2022 will be “the year of defeat for the Turkish state.”
