URGENT PRESS RELEASE
Turkish occupation escalates long-term war with regional and global implications
The recent escalation of Turkey’s military presence in Iraqi Kurdistan under the pretext of fighting PKK guerrillas is a blatant violation of Iraqi sovereignty and a threat to regional stability. Turkey’s deployment of tanks, soldiers and checkpoints deep inside Iraqi Kurdish territory is a clear attempt to occupy Iraqi Kurdistan. This will lead to an escalation of the long-term war with regional and global implications.
The aggressive actions of the Turkish military, including setting up checkpoints, interrogating road users, and emptying villages, demonstrates a de facto occupation of the region that undermines the sovereignty of Iraq and the Kurdish people. The reported deployment of hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles – along with the establishment of military bases – raises serious concerns about Turkey’s intentions in the region.

Resentment of people in occupied areas against Turkish occupation
Since this afternoon, the occupied cities of Bab, Azaz and Afrin have been witnessing protests against the Turkish presence in response to racist practices against Syrians, in particular the attack on Syrian families last Sunday in Kayseri, and the protest against the recent rapprochement between Ankara and Damascus.
According to sources, protesters blocked the main road in al-Bab in front of a number of Turkish trucks and attacked and damaged them, as shown in videos on social media.
Other footage also showed protesters bringing down the Turkish flag from a Turkish “Civil Registry Building” in Azaz, and protesters expelling employees of the Turkish post office in the occupied town of Rajo.
In Afrin, mercenary activists reported that dozens of demonstrators demanding the departure of the Turkish governor from the city were fired upon, in front of the “Seraya” building and the city’s municipality, without information about casualties.

🔴 #Irak/Southern #Kurdistan: Turkish Invasion continues
300 Tanks and 15,000 Turkish soldiers crossed the border to Irak and South Kurdistan in the last days.
In the last months, Erdogan and the AKP government of Turkey claimed that they will destroy the PKK (The Kurdistan’s Worker Party) before the summer. To reach their aim Ankara and the KDP (local Kurdish party who actively collaborates with Turkey) recently held multiple meetings in order to win support in their military offensive against the guerrilla positions in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
“The danger is that the Turkish occupation is permanent and will eventually turn into an annexation.” KCK’s foreign relations committee said in a recent statement.

Air strikes and ISIS mercenaries stationed in South Kurdistan
The Turkish army has once again carried out heavy airstrikes in northern Iraq. Yesterday evening, local sources reported bombings, artillery attacks and attacks by combat helicopters on the Medya defense areas. Movements of ground troops were also reported. Turkish tanks had advanced as far as the city center of Amêdiyê. Even in the Penjwen region, over 200 kilometers from the Turkish border, air strikes are said to have taken place.
In the afternoon, there was also a suspected Turkish army drone attack on a car in the city of Suleymania. No casualties have been reported so far.
According to a statement by the Kurdistan Communities of Kurdistan (KCK), ISIS fighters are among the troops brought into the region by Turkey. Turkey had already deployed Syrian mercenaries, including IS fighters, in the invasions of northern Iraq in the past.

Fascist gesture during Turkey's win against Austria
During Turkey's 2:1 victory against Austria in the quarter-finals yesterday, two-time goalscorer Demiral gave the wolf salute to celebrate the goal. The wolf salute is a symbol of the Grey Wolves, a Turkish fascist organization.
Demiral does not seem to be aware of any guilt. In an interview, he said that he hoped there would be more opportunities to show the salute.
In the evening, he posted a picture of the action on X with the caption: "Happy is he who calls himself a Turk". A slogan under which ethnic minorities in Turkey are still oppressed by the state and right-wing extremists.
With his gesture, Demiral also appears to be referring to the current anti-Syrian pogroms in Turkey, in which Syrian refugees have been attacked in dozens of cities in Turkey in recent days and at least two people have been killed. The wolf salute can also be seen again and again during these pogroms.

🔴WHO ARE THE GREY WOLVES?🔴
Turkish national team football player Merih Demiral made the ‘wolf salute’, symbolic of the Turkish ultra-nationalist ‘Grey Wolves’, after scoring in a European Cup match between Turkey and Austria on the 2nd of July.
This gesture has been condemned by many political and civil society figures as a symbol of racism and hate. Even the German interior minister Nancy Faeser denounced firmly this act.
But who are the Grey Wolves behind this sign?
