KURDISTAN Workers’ Party (PKK) guerilla fighters have launched a winter offensive against Turkey’s occupying forces in Iraqi Kurdistan, the organisation said yesterday.
The new offensive comes as evidence of Ankara’s alleged use of chemical weapons in the region continues to mount.
PKK officials told the Morning Star that the resistance was not merely defensive and that Kurdish forces were mobilising “as part of the global fight to defeat fascism.”
