The HPG denied reports in the Turkish media about an allegedly successful operation in Sulaymaniyah. The person allegedly captured by the MIT surrendered to the Turkish state two months ago.
According to the Press Centre of the People's Defence Forces (HPG), the Turkish army continues to attack guerrilla positions in the Medya Defence Zones in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).
On Monday, 24 artillery attacks were carried out on the Girê Cûdî and Girê FM resistance areas and 71 attacks were carried out on guerrilla positions near the village of Sîda and in the Çemço area with howitzers, tanks and heavy weapons. Sîda and Çemço belong to the Sheladize sub-district near the town of Amadiya in Duhok governorate and have been the focus of the occupation forces since the partial withdrawal of the Turkish army from the Zap region at the end of last year.
On the other hand, HPG denied the reports in Turkish media, saying: "It was reported in the Turkish special war media that Ramazan Güneş is a member of our movement and was caught in a point operation by the MIT in Sulaymaniyah. This report is a complete lie. Ramazan Güneş ran away from our ranks three years ago and later got married and settled in Southern Kurdistan. There is no contact between him and our movement. Two months ago, Ramazan Güneş surrendered to the Turkish state in Duhok. However, the Turkish media is trying to portray MIT as successful during this period with a fabricated scenario. Our patriotic people and the public of Turkey should not believe the Turkish special war media and the reports based on a lie by MIT."
