As the Turkish state continues the invasion attacks against Bashure Kurdistan, Turkish soldiers set up checkpoints in the occupied territories wearing peshmerga uniforms.

The youth of Bashur are on day 4 of the human shield action in Binare Qendil against the invasion.

Agirin Bashur read a press release in the name of the group and said:

“We reject these practices completely. We launched a human shield action in Binare Qendil against the Turkish state’s invasion attacks and we will grow this protest. The Turkish army attacks the guerrillas while wearing peshmerga uniforms to incite a fight between brothers. The peshmerga uniform is sacred for Kurds. Thousands of peshmergas have fallen martyr wearing this uniform.

Everybody must take a stand against such practices of the Turkish state. As activists, we do not want the peshmerga to partner with those who want to incite a fight between brothers. We reject the KDP and PUK entering a partnership with Turkey and Iran in this matter. As the youth of Bashur, we call on the martyrs’ families, the peshmerga and the people of Bashur to put forth their stance against the enemy’s practices.”
