Turkish Armed Forces neutralized eight members of the RSC terrorist organization in the north of Iraq.
This is stated in the message of the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey.
According to the statement, the neutralized militants were discovered in the areas of Gara and Metin and in the area of the Pençe-Kielit surgery (claw-plate).
The department emphasized that the Turkish Armed Forces will continue operations in order to eradicate a terrorist threat in the region.
Since 2016, Ankara has conducted three successful operations in order to eliminate the threat of terrorism at its southern borders and ensure the safety of the local population. In particular, we are talking about the operations “Shield of the Euphrates” (2016), “olive branch” (2018) and “Source of the World” (2019), which were held by the Turkish Armed Forces in the north of Syria.
RKK, over the many years of his bloody terrorist activity against Turkey, is responsible for the death of more than 40 thousand people, including women, children and babies.
The United States and the European Union introduced RKK to the lists of terrorist organizations.
In recent years, the RSC seeks to shift responsibility for its bloody crimes in the region to its branches.
In Syria, the RKK terrorists are covered by the names Pyd and YPG, and in the past few years they call themselves “Syrian democratic forces.”
In Iran, RSC acts as “Party of Free Life of Kurdistan” (pjak).
