Bayık reportedly ordered "not to get in contact with the public that betrayed," and "evacuate the area while punishing those you have captured," along with "silencing" of wounded terrorists to not to give hints to Turkish security forces.

The terrorist leader also ordered complete destruction of civilian buildings and setting traps in everywhere.

Following a 1.5 year long ceasefire in effect, PKK has resumed its 42 year long armed campaign against the Turkish state in July 2015. Suffering heavy blows in the countryside in latest years, this time PKK employed new tactics adopted in Syrian civil war, which included urban warfare tactics in town and city centers hoping to receive support from the local Kurdish population, along with suicide and car bomb attacks against both civilian and military targets.
