KDP forces first dispatched a large force to the Amadiya district of South Kurdistan (North Iraq) and from there to guerrilla areas on 2 August.

The KDP forces opened new roads in the mountains and moved towards the guerrilla areas from the Zap dam.

It was learned that the KDP, which is trying to take positions especially in Geliyê Reşawa, Gera Çelka and Mêrgê, wants to create new posts.

Local sources said that the KDP's dispatch of a large force towards Zap and its advance towards the guerrilla areas were aimed at completing the siege's attempt by the Turkish army in Zap.

In recent years, the KDP has been provoking heavy reactions among the Kurds with its open support for the invasion attacks by the Turkish state.
