WITHOUT KDP’S KNOWLEDGE?

A villager from Bermize who wished to remain anonymous reported that Turkish army forces have entered their territory with the goal to invade, and stated that the Turkish army and the Turkish state cannot carry out such an operation without the knowledge of the KDP.

“Our village and our region are completely KDP controlled. To date, nothing has happened in our village without the knowledge of the KDP. I don’t think that the Turkish army dispatching to our village and its surroundings with helicopters, Deşta Heyate by the front of our village being bombed with helicopters and the surroundings of Siro Mountain with jet fighters have happened without the knowledge of the KDP,” said the villager and stated that the KDP hears about anything and everything that happens in the village immediately, so if they were not aware of the incident before, they should now react without delay.
