The Turkish military neutralized 14 militants of the PKK/YPG terrorist organization in the north of Syria. This was reported on Saturday by the press service of the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey.
Turkish Armed Forces during the night struck the objects of terrorists in the zones of operations “Shield Euphrates”, “Olive Branch” and “Source of the World”.
“According to preliminary data, it was found that it was possible to neutralize at least 14 terrorists,” the department said.
The ministry also shared the personnel of the operation, which captures the moments of damage to goals belonging to a terrorist organization.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that since 1984, when the militants of the RSC for the first time had carried out a bloody crime in Turkey, and until March 2020, 7,500 security forces of Turkey and 6,800 civilians were killed at the hands of this bloody organization.
The United States and the European Union introduced PKK to the lists of terrorist organizations.
Despite Ankara’s attempts to find ways to settle the situation, the PKK terrorist organization has resumed armed attacks since July 2015.
In recent years, PKK seeks to shift responsibility for bloody crimes in the region to its branches.
In Syria, PKK terrorists are covered by the names Pyd and YPG, and in the last two years they call themselves “Syrian democratic forces.”
In Iran, PKK acts as “Party of Free Life of Kurdistan” (pjak).
