Dastana Gare 1982

This incident occurred on December 10, 1982, in Siyana Garey, 70 km deep within the territory of the Beis government, when the Peshmerga attacked the bases and headquarters of the Maghawir forces and the (Cash) armed forces. In the three days and nights of fighting and clashes, the government forces suffered heavy losses, and there was a great resonance in the region.

The Ba'ath government has always prevented Kurds from participating in the administration of the country, even completely denying citizenship on the basis of equality and law. Therefore, the implementation of this policy against the Kurds created a ground for discontent in the hearts of the Kurdish people, which stirred national sentiment and led to their opposition to the military, security and armed institutions. The oppression of the institutions has to some extent encouraged the people to raise their voices of discontent and public demonstrations and to strongly oppose the government's security institutions. On the other hand, the Revolutionary Leadership National Movement, in its assessment of the situation, came to the conclusion that the Ba'ath government does not understand the language of dialogue and peaceful solutions, and is not ready to listen. Therefore, they decided to prepare themselves for this method of struggle, which the Ba'ath leaders understand as partisan armed struggle.

In the field of struggle, during the confrontation with the Ba'ath regime institutions, the revolutionary leadership always tried to expand the area of ​​liberated areas and promote Peshmerga activities within the depths of government authority, so it decided to send a Peshmerga force to several strategic locations to deal a major blow to the bases of military forces and gangs, to show them that the Peshmerga can reach and strike whenever and wherever it wants. On December 10, 1982, in Siyana Garey and at a depth of 70 km, the Peshmerga attacked the bases and bases of the Maghawir force and the (Cash) armed forces. After a fierce battle that lasted for three nights and days, they inflicted great damage on government forces. The result of the Peshmerga attack in the region was a great resounding success.
