BEHDİNAN – HPG Press Center said, “The invading Turkish army has launched extensive invasion operations across Botan since autumn. Most of these operations have been skillfully foiled by our forces. In the face of the operation launched by the invaders in the last Judi area, our forces responded effectively with mobile guerrilla teams and carried out a series of actions that dealt heavy blows to the invaders.
The actions carried out by our forces in the Avaşîn and Zap areas with the mobile guerrilla warfare style continue uninterruptedly. The mobile guerrilla teams that turn every part of Avaşîn and Zap into resistance areas deal heavy blows to the invaders with many tactics. At the same time, the resistance of our forces in the battle positions continues with a high Apoist spirit of sacrifice. The invading Turkish army, which was hit by the mobile guerrilla teams and failed to produce results against the battle positions, is again attacking the guerrilla’s battle positions with despicable chemical weapons.
