BEHDINAN – HPG Press Center announced the war balance sheet for June.
HPG said, “The Turkish state is a nation-state based on Turkism as a race and Sunnism as a sect. The fascist Turkish nation-state system aimed to eliminate all ethnic elements other than Turkishness, all beliefs other than the Sunni sect, through genocide and assimilation methods. On July 2, 1993, 34 Alevi people were brutally murdered in Sivas. On the 30th anniversary of this inhuman massacre, we commemorate the martyrs of Özge and democracy who were massacred in Sivas with respect.”

“The psychological torture applied by the colonialist genocidal Turkish state to Rêber Apo in absolute isolation with the same fascist mentality, and the genocidal attacks against the Kurdish people and the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle continue. One of the most important targets of these attacks, which were carried out to completely massacre the Kurdish people, is the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla. The guerrilla is constantly the target of enemy attacks because of the meaning it has for the Kurdish people, its role in the legitimate defense of our people, the guarantor of the cause of freedom and the leading force of our struggle.
