15 AUGUST OUR RESISTANCE CONTINUES WITH THE SPIRIT OF VICTORY
The invading Turkish army is unable to break the resistance of our forces, led by steel willpower, high courage and Apoist self-sacrificing spirit, under difficult conditions, so it continues to commit war crimes by using banned weapons intensively.

Although it attacked brutally with warplanes, helicopters, tactical nuclear bombs, chemical weapons, tanks and armored vehicles, it was unsuccessful.
