The HPG Press Center released the balance sheet of war for July. The HPG statement on Tuesday said: "The Treaty of Lausanne, which divided our country into four parts by ignoring the Kurdish people and the reality of Kurdistan, aimed at carrying out the genocide of our people by dividing them into nation-state systems. That treaty was a death warrant for the Kurdish people and led to countless massacres, invasion attacks and edicts over the course of a century. As a result, the Kurdish people lost hundreds of thousands of martyrs, all their justifiable objections were tried to be suppressed with massacres, and their identity and demand for a free life was ignored."

The statement continued: "The Kurdish people, despite all their inadequacies and their fragmented stance, have managed to carry their existence to the present day and still continue their struggle by resisting relentlessly against this death warrant issued a hundred years ago. Our party, the PKK, which has led the freedom struggle of the Kurdish people in the last 50 years, tore up the death warrant imposed on the Kurdish people with the Lausanne Agreement.

The colonialist genocidal Turkish state and its fascist special war regime introduced a comprehensive genocide concept on 24 July 2015, the anniversary of this agreement. In the last 8 years, the Kurdish people and the freedom movement have shown relentless resistance, fought epic struggles, paid a great price, but by preserving its existence, it has proven that it is an undeniable and inalienable reality."

Turkish state continues invasion attacks

The statement added: "Turkey carried out 17 operations. It attacked 283 times using warplanes, 168 times using combat helicopters, and hundreds of times using howitzers, tanks and heavy weapons. It attacked our positions in the Resistance Areas 9 times using banned explosives. It used a total of 6 tactical nuclear bombs, 4 times against our positions in the Sîda Resistance Area of Zap, and 2 times against our positions in the Girê FM Resistance Area of the Martyr Delîl West Zap region."

130 actions, 74 soldiers punished

The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla continued to defend the Kurdish people and Kurdistan against all enemy attacks without interruption. Our forces throughout the month of July carried out 130 actions. As a result of these actions, 72 soldiers, one of whom was a high-ranked officer, were killed and 16 were injured. In addition, many military vehicles and materials were destroyed and damaged.

7 guerrillas fell as martyrs

The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla is following the line of martyrs by continuing its struggle with the spirit of sacrifice created by the 14 July Great Death Fast Resistance.

In July 7 of our comrades fell as martyrs: Mîrza Bargiran (Mîrza Sezek), Bengîn Barman (Hero Karataş) and Rêdûr Sîser ( Güven Özcan), in Bakurê Kurdistan; Viyan Mêrdîn (Leyla Elçioğlu), Zinar Serêçiya (Zinar Mihemed Ebdilxanî), Bawer Arîn (Mesut Demirkıran) and Berxwedan Farqîn (Serdar Meçin) in the Medya Defense Zones."
