The HPG Dersim Field Command shared details of the attacks by the terrorist Turkish state in Dersim.
The People’s Protection Forces (HPG) stated that “On August 3, the invading Turkish army launched an invasion operation in the Nênikan area of Dersim. The invading Turkish army, which bombed the area with warplanes in the evening on the same day, also made set-downs with Skorsky helicopters ”.
The force also shared that “the operation, which continued until noon on August 4, retreated from the area without any consequences, while the invaders destroyed vineyards and gardens in the region and started fires in forest areas during the operation.”
AIRSTRIKES
Stating that the Turkish state also carried out air strikes against areas under guerilla control, HPG gave the following information:
“Fighter jets belonging to the invading Turkish army carried out air strikes against Medya Defense Zones. In this context;
At noon on August 11, warplanes bombed the Kurojaro area in the Zap region.
On August 13, warplanes bombed Tepê Sor area in the Avashin region at 12.30 and Arıs-Farıs area at 21.30.

WARNING
The HPG Dersim command previously shared a notice of warning to the people of Dersim. The warning included the following points:
In order to prevent harm to our people and civilians, they should never come near the enemy and they must stay away from military areas. Otherwise, we are not responsible for any damage that may occur.”
In relation to the attacks by the fascist Turkish state on the nature of Dersim, it was said that “in the recent past, the governor of the occupying regime in Dersim, sold permission to hunt mountain goats as tender. This is a part of the genocide that the colonial regime has carried out on the people and geography of Dersim for centuries.
The fascist regime, attacking all the sacred values of our people, aims to attack the sacred nature of Dersim and turn the hunting of mountain goats into profit. The killing of these goats which have a great moral value for our people and have a great place in the nature of Dersim, on the one hand, are being carried out to conceal the activities of contras as hunters.
It should be known that we will not remain silent against the activities of contras who are disguising themselves as hunters but unsolving the guerrilla areas.
Our people should be sensitive to these policies and should not be used as a tool. “
