Turkish Armed Forces neutralized 4 PKK terrorists in the north of Syria and Iraq. On Sunday, December 29, the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey reported.
Two PKK terrorists are neutralized in the area of the Pençe -Kielit operation in the north of Iraq, two more YPG terrorists (PKK Syrian wing) in the zone of the Euphrates Operation in the north of Syria, the ministry specified.
The Turkish department emphasized, the Armed Forces of Turkey will continue to conduct an uncompromising struggle against terrorism with the same determination with which it has been done so far.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that since 1984, when the militants of the RSC first 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).
