TURKEY’S use of chemical weapons during its “dirty war” in Iraqi Kurdistan is an admission of their defeat at the hands of the guerilla resistance, officials told the Morning Star today.
Kurdistan Communities Union spokesman Zagros Hiwa said that Ankara had been forced to use banned munitions as it had failed to make ground in its military operations.
“The scale and use of prohibited chemical weapons is unprecedented,” Mr Hiwa said.
