While the historical resistance of HPG and YJA Star guerrillas against the attacks launched by the Turkish army on Zap, Metîna and Avaşîn within the borders of Bashur Kurdistan on 14 April 2022 continues, the KDP's cooperation with the invaders was once again exposed.

The KDP forces have cut the logistics going to the HPG and YJA Star guerrillas, besieged the guerrillas in some places, preventing them from moving and making way for the armored vehicles of the Turkish soldiers. This time the KDP came to the aid of the invading army in Girê Hekarî (Hakkari Hill). ANF recorded the help provided to Turkish army.

The KDP's work on this region started in July last year and intensified as of August. First, KDP forces started to build roads, headquarters and shelters in the Hill Ortê area of Metîna, accompanied by armored vehicles. In August, they made a road for the Turkish army with buckets between the Girê Hekarî and Girê Amediyê Resistance Areas.

All the services the KDP did for the Turkish army could not prevent the resistance carried out by the guerrilla forces. HPG and YJA Star guerrillas, carried out many "Revolutionary Operations" that shocked the invaders in the autumn. On 26-27 November 2022 in Girê Hekarî, they forced the Turkish army out of that position.

The KDP forces came to the rescue of the invading army stuck in Girê Hekarî, They established military bases around the hill the Turkish army tried to take over but failed. In order to prevent the guerrilla forces from attacking Girê Hekarî again, the flag of the Federal Kurdistan Region Administration was hoisted on the bases established on three different hills.

In the same way, ANF documented the fact that the flag of the Federated Kurdistan Region Administration was hoisted on the military base on Girê Sêdarê hill, which is the only way to Girê Hekarî, to protect the Turkish army in the face of the new actions by the guerrillas. We could not find any clear information about exactly which forces were on this base.

Road from border to hill for tanks

The KDP positions are similarly located in the mountains towards Amediye. Turkish army positions in this area are still there, under the flag of the Kurdistan Regional Administration. It is noteworthy that such a change was made right after the Turkish army withdrew its forces from this point, called the "Commando Field", last December.

Girê Hekarî, which has strategic importance both because it is about 15 kilometers from the Turkey-Iraq border and because it is the highest point in Amediyê,  connected to the border line by a new land route built by the KDP. The Turkish army can transport tanks, armored vehicles and military supplies to Girê Hekarî through this road.

Currently, only the forces of the Turkish army are on Girê Hekarî hill in the Metîna area, east of the Zap water. Thanks to the resistance by the guerrillas, the invading forces had to withdraw, unable to hold on to the other hills around this position. The reason why the KDP is constructing roads and building bases around Girê Hekarî is to ensure that the last stronghold of the Turkish army in the region does not fall.
