NEWS CENTER – The colonialist Turkish state, led by the AKP-MHP, is committing war crimes as a special war government by disregarding international laws in their invasion attacks in southern Kurdistan. They are practicing a terrible state terror against the Kurdish people and all forces fighting for freedom, innocent people and against civilians. On October 18, 2022, the headquarters of the People’s Defense Forces (NPG) published the identities of 17 guerrillas killed by chemical weapons attacks by the Turkish occupying Şehid state. The NPG command made it clear that due to the silence and international support, the chemical weapons attacks have been intensified.
