Þemdinli turned into a war field
Clashes are ongoing in Þemdinli where People’s Defense Forces (HPG) guerrillas targeted Haruna military post on Tuesday.
The attack on the post, which is located some 23 km from the city of Þemdinli, was carried out following two separate guerrilla actions targeting two separate military convoys in the afternoon. At least three soldiers are said to have died and three others were wounded in one of the convoy attacks, while no reports have been received as to the injuries or deaths in other attacks.
An extensive area in Þemdinli region has been under the control of Kurdish guerrillas since 23 July and clashes are reported in a larger area since the beginning of the Turkish army operations two weeks ago. The army intensifiedaerial assaults for the geography of the clashes area doesn’t allow a ground attack with heavy vehicles.
People’s Defense Forces Press Office HPG-BIM reported that over a hundred soldiers died in the guerrilla actions which targeted many military points in the district of Çukurca on 4 August. Turkish military denies this claim.
The presence of the guerrilla control in the region seems to be confirmed by the prohibition of seven areas to civilians by the governor’s office in Hakkari.
In a statement on recent operations and clashes on 6 August, Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) executive council presidency pointed out that a new war process is currently being lived in Kurdistan. KCK statement emphasized that the Turkish media is hiding the war and losses of the Turkish army.
Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) executive council member Sozdar Avesta evaluated the process in Þemdinli as a “revolutionary operation” which –he underlined- is considered to be the greatest and permanent operation of recent years. “Our people should on the other hand form their democratic autonomous government in this process”, Avesta noted.
People’s Defense Forces evaluated the guerrilla actions in Þemdinli as “a new strategy”, while KCK President Murat Karayýlan said in his interview to ANF that “Borders have become a thing of the past as HPG guerrillas are now deploying in North Kurdistan and around Þemdinli which is located 35 km inside the border.
“In this new phase of the struggle – Karayýlan said – Kurdish guerrillas will be following the strategy of spread into areas they have hit.
