Mayor of Þemdinli: Government hiding truth of what is going on

Mayor of Þemdinli Sedat Töre has said the government is hiding the truth of what is happening in the area.

The area of Þemdinli has been the scene of heavy clashes since last week. A number of soldiers have died, at least 15 according to HPG sources.

The mayor of Þemdinli has added that "many villagers are distressed for what is happening and are forced to stay out of their homes because of the bombing".
