The Ministry of National Defense of Turkey reported the neutralization of seven terrorists in the north of Iraq and Syria.
“The terrorist our goal, wherever it is. The Turkish armed forces neutralized 3 RSC terrorists found in the Khaftan region and the Pençe-Kielit operation zone in the north of Iraq, as well as 4 YPG terrorists (Syrian venue of the RSC) discovered in the zone Operations “Source of the World” in the north of Syria, – the Turkish Ministry of Defense posted on social networks said in a statement.
The department emphasized that the Turkish Armed Forces will continue to conduct “unpredictable, non -standard, quick and continuous operations” with the aim of eradicating terrorism.
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).
