Şişman, a senior executive of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorist organization, was arrested on April 8 with serious injuries.

When he recovered, he realized the lies of the organization through his videos, in which he exposed the dark side of the organization and called on other terrorists to “surrender”.

Ozgur Djebar, who was in the red category on the wanted terrorist list, also received a symbol, and the terrorist Firat Şişman was the right-hand man of Murat Karayılan, one of the leaders of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party.

Şişman, who has been a member of the PKK for 25 years, is one of the group’s top regional officials and was seriously wounded in Operation Eren-10 in Şırnak on 8 April.

He told the terrorist gendarmerie of the PKK everything he knew about the PKK and said in his video that the organization was in the process of collapse.

“If they had a bad approach, I was already badly injured at the scene, and I was unconscious.

And I didn’t have a chance to live in five minutes hadn’t been intervened, they could have done it, but it was the opposite for me.”

The organizational document also revealed the fact that the terrorist organization was hiding, and explained the process of collapse in the PKK

He said that participation in the organization had declined in recent years, and explained that the organization was in the process of collapse with the following words:

“The organization has never faced such great difficulties in this process in the past five or six years.

Especially about military performance, where the organization has seen a significant decline, it has lost most of its public support, and participation in the organization has dropped to zero.”

A big blow to the organization from SİHAs

The successful ground operations alone did not deal a major blow to the PKK, local SİHAs caused panic in the organization, and terrorist Şişman said that the organization’s capacity had disappeared.

“SİHA’s planes and drones that are produced using new modern military technologies and specially produced in Turkey have generally canceled all the movement of the organization in the past”

The solution in the organization is continuous

Terrorist Firat Şişman talked about a solution and discussions within the separatist terrorist organization, as 16 terrorists were neutralized in this way.

And the people who lost their lives were again criticized by the organization, why is there daily work, why is there an open course of action, why are the villagers contacted, why are the militias negotiated?

The call to “surrender”

PKK leader Şişman called on other terrorists to “surrender”.

“You know as much as I do about the difficulties you have faced and exist within the organization thus far, and you have learned by experience.

All my friends should think about moving on with their lives to start a new and meaningful life for themselves and their families.”

It was determined that the terrorist Firat Şişman was the terrorist who planned and personally participated in the killing of 16 soldiers.

Six soldiers were also wounded as a result of the attack on a military convoy in Hakkari Yüksekova, Bostancık on September 5, 2015.

It was learned that Shishman is responsible and a planner for the terrorist events that took place in the Hakkari region in 2014-2015.

It was also determined that he had planned terrorist incidents in Şırnak, Mardin, Van, Sirt, and Şanlıurfa provinces known as Bhutan Saha between September 2020 and April 2021.
