The Press Office of People’s Defense Forces (HPG-BIM) released a statement on the latest media reports that KDP forces have been dispatched towards the guerrilla base areas in Southern Kurdistan. It is observed that this mobilization is especially concentrated in the Garê region, which is close to Akra and Amadiya districts, HPG said and continued as follows;

“The forces in question strove to advance and station in the guerrilla areas in the Garê region within the Akra district borders on October 25, 2020. Our forces in this area have warned the KDP forces not to advance further in the guerrilla areas. On the same day at around 22:30, warplanes of the occupying Turkish state also bombed the area.

First of all, our patriotic people in the region and Southern Kurdistan and the whole public should know that such initiatives carried out in the guerrilla areas pose serious dangers. Therefore, we call on these forces to stop their current initiatives and we call on the patriotic people of Kurdistan to be sensitive.”
