YRK reports increasing Turkish aerial activity and attacks
YRK stressed that the Kurdish people and Kurdistan Freedom Struggle will definitely win against the invaders, calling on everyone to react to increasingly ongoing Turkish attacks.
The Defense Units of Eastern Kurdistan (YRK) Command released a statement about the increased Turkish attacks in the regions of Asos and Pencewin.
According to the YRK statement on Saturday, the invading Turkish state has increased its SIHA (Combat Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) drone activity in the regions of Asos and Pencewin.
YRK pointed out that Turkish attacks caused pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage to the local people.
“Only our people in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq can break the attacks of the invading Turkish state, which we strongly condemn. Through these attacks, the Turkish occupation state seeks to expand its war against the Kurdish people,” said the YRK and called on everyone to react to Turkish attacks.
YRK stressed that the Kurdish people and Kurdistan Freedom Struggle will definitely win against the invaders.
Air strikes by Turkey in violation of international law have been routine for years in the region of Mount Asos, which lies a good 200 kilometres from the Turkish state border. Other areas of the territory of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) and Iraq, especially those where Kurdish guerrillas are suspected, but also civilian settlement areas such as Shengal, are also regularly bombed by the Turkish army.
In an interview with ANF on June 19, Şiyar Şevger, one of the commanders of the YRK, stated that attacks against the Kurdish people in all four parts of Kurdistan continued uninterruptedly and behind it was an agreement between Iran, Turkey and Iraq to disarm the Kurdish freedom movements.
"There is an agreement according to which the Iranian intelligence service passes on the information it receives about PJAK to the Turkish state and the Turkish army carries out attacks on the basis of this information. Every day, reconnaissance planes circle over our areas, the collected information is passed on to the Turkish state by the KDP and Iran, and then attacks on us take place on this basis. However, the Turkish and Iranian states have not been able to achieve any results in these attacks so far and have failed against our Apoist movement,” Şevger said.
