Turkish Armed Forces neutralized 14 YPG terrorists (Syrian wing of the RSC) in the area “Source of the World” in the north of Syria. This was reported in the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey.
“The Armed Forces neutralized 14 PKK/YPG terrorists, found in the zone of the Operation” Source of the World “in the north of Syria. Our struggle will continue with determination and perseverance until the terrorists disappear from the region,” the report said.
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).
