TO THE PRESS AND PUBLIC – THERE IS NO CROSS BORDER OPERATION OCCURRED
The reports in regard to cross-border military operation in the Medya Defence Areas by the occupier Turkish state army do not reflect any reality at all. The occupier Turkish state army has not carried out any cross-border military operation other than usually carrying out air-bombardments with its war-planes, which left in its hand as a war tool to use, where it targets mostly the civilian areas.
These reports are part of a psicological warfare, which do not have any reality what so ever, and attempts to hide the genocide carried out in Qandil by the war-planes belong to the occupier Turkish state army.
