We state that these claims are unfounded. These claims are the permanent tools of the invaders. The invaders are trying to hide their crimes by bombing infrastructure, service centers, residential areas and livelihoods with these vehicles. Video documents prove that these crimes are bigger and clearer than all the repeated claims of the occupying Turkish state. These documents directly criminalize the Turkish state”   ‘THERE WAS A GREAT DESTRUCTION'   In the statement, it was stated that Turkey has been attacking energy institutions, electricity stations, wheat warehouses, fire brigades, civilian houses and their gardens, livelihoods, main roads and cities with warplanes and UCAVs for the last two days: “There was great destruction due to these bombardments.
