The Ministry of National Defense of Turkey announced the neutralization of 9 terrorists of the RSC in the north of Iraq.
“, as a result of air operations carried out in the north of Iraq from November 29 to December 1, 2024, 9 RSC terrorists were neutralized in total: 6 in the Khakurk and 3 area in the Gara region,” the defense department said.
The Turkish department emphasized that the Turkish Armed Forces are full of determination and have all the possibilities for eliminating terrorism in its source.
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).
