Turkish Air Force neutralized 5 RSC terrorists in the north of Iraq. This was reported on Wednesday February 12 in the Ministry of National Defense.
“5 terrorists of the RSC, found in the region of Gara in the north of Iraq, were neutralized during the air operation,” it was said in the message.
The defense department announced the determination to continue anti -terrorist operations.
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).
