BEHDÎNAN – The HPG press center shared the following information about the fallen guerrillas:
“The invasion operation, which began on April 14th with intensive airstrikes and on April 17th with helicopter landings across Zap, met the strongest resistance in history. The Turkish army was not only one of the few armies of NATO, but was also actively supported financially and militarily by NATO, it was equipped with all possible warfare technologies, its genocidal plans were approved by the hegemonic powers, banned bombs and chemical weapons fell into its hands offered, allowed to use them despite clear war crimes, and supported by the collaborating, treacherous, rootless sections of the Kurds. Despite all this, this full-scale enemy occupation operation was helpless and could not advance in the face of the noble attitude of the apoist fighters who did not accept the occupation and submission. Her eagerness to complete the crew in the shortest amount of time and carry out her plans failed her.
The genocidal, colonialist Turkish army has taken these attacks to a new level and has taken the risk of committing all kinds of war crimes in order to absolutely enforce their occupation plan and has systematically used chemical weapons and banned bombs against ours in 2021 and especially in 2022 forces used. They not only used chemical weapons and prohibited bombs against the war tunnels, but also prepared the ground for mass killings by destroying the war tunnels with armored excavators. These war crimes by the Turkish army have been repeatedly documented by our armed forces and presented to the public. Although the pictures taken in the Werxelê war tunnels and seen by the public left no room for doubt,
The war tunnels of Şehîd Xursî in the Zap region, located in the neighborhood of the village of Saca in the Şêladizê subdistrict of the Amediye district of Bashur Kurdistan, have been the target of the occupying Turkish army since August. The Şehîd Xursî tunnels were bombed with warplanes, howitzers, mortars and prohibited explosives, and every possible attempt was made to destroy them from the ground. Our hevals there carried out effective actions against the enemy with their active war effort, did not allow the enemy to approach the war tunnels for a month, dealt heavy blows and seized many enemy materials. Turkish army used all kinds of chemical weapons and forbidden bombs against this war tunnel, which they could only approach after a month of intense confrontation, but for three months an epic resistance was put up in the Şehîd Xursî War Tunnels and our comrades here dealt the enemy blow after blow with continuous actions. Realizing that despite using chemical weapons and banned bombs for three months, the Turkish army could not achieve any success against the apoist Fedaî guerrillas, they increased the use of chemical weapons even more.
CHEMICAL ATTACK DOCUMENTED. EXAMINATION POSSIBLE
As a result of the intensive and systematic use of chemical weapons and prohibited explosives, on November 5, 11 of our Hevals perished in the War Tunnels of Şehîd Xursî. Turkey’s War Ministry, commanded by Hulusi Akar, has lied to the public, saying that these Hevals’ martyrdom was the result of contact and clash, and trying to cover up the war crimes they committed through the use of chemical weapons. Although the war criminal, chemist Hulusi Akar, very hypocritically stated that they did not use chemical weapons, it shows that the Turkish army used chemical weapons very intensively in this incident before fleeing Saca and causing the martyrdom of 11 of our Hevals . It is save, that all 11 of our Hevals were tortured with chemical weapons and it was documented with pictures. Although we do not consider it appropriate to share these images with the public, we declare that we can pass them on to the relevant institutions, which will conduct an investigation and confirm the war crimes committed by the Turkish state. We declare that the place where these hevals suffered martyrdom is near Saca village in Şêladizê subdistrict of Amediye district of Başur Kurdistan, that those who want to come there can easily get there and that we who want to examine him can help within the scope of our possibilities. By sharing these images with the public, we declare that we can pass them on to the relevant institutions, which will conduct an investigation and confirm the war crimes committed by the Turkish state. We declare that the place where these hevals suffered martyrdom is near Saca village in Şêladizê subdistrict of Amediye district of Başur Kurdistan, that those who want to come there can easily get there and that we who want to examine him can help within the scope of our possibilities. By sharing these images with the public, we declare that we can pass them on to the relevant institutions, which will conduct an investigation and confirm the war crimes committed by the Turkish state. We declare that the place where these hevals suffered martyrdom is near Saca village in Şêladizê subdistrict of Amediye district of Başur Kurdistan, that those who want to come there can easily get there and that we who want to examine him can help within the scope of our possibilities.
In the statement of the Headquarters Command of our People’s Defense Center on October 18, 2022, the truths revealed, the points highlighted and the calls by announcing that 17 of our Hevals fell with chemical weapons became the justified objection of the Kurdish society, their dear friends and Friends and conscientious people, but the use of chemical weapons and banned bombs continued. The genocide, colonization and reoccupation policies of the Turkish state against Kurdish society for a century and especially in the last 50 years of struggle as well as the silence of the world public show on what complicated bases this is based and how great the danger for Kurdish society is. As an oppressed Kurdish society, fighting the most just and legitimate struggle for existence and freedom in history, there is no alternative but to fight honorably, resist valiantly and fight heroically wherever we are. As self-sacrificing champions for the freedom of Kurdish society, we will never stop defending free life and our society, no matter how high and painful the price. Even as we face a genocidal, power-hungry enemy who has lost his humanity, and a world silent about what is being done to our society out of sheer self-interest, our commitment to the noble values of a free and democratic humanity will always be move on. We’ll keep the memory of each of our hevals,
Our condolences go to the families of these heroic Hevals, each from a different region of Kurdistan, and to Kurdish and Arab society as a whole.”
