The Ministry of National Defense of Turkey announced the neutralization of 7 terrorists of the RSC in the Pençe Kilit operation zone in the north of Iraq.
The Turkish department noted that the Armed Forces of Turkey are held accountable for terrorists “in their labs.”
“The Armed Forces of Turkey neutralized the seven terrorists of the RSC in the Pençe Kilit operation zone in the north of Iraq. Our operations will continue with all the determination until a single terrorist remains in the region,” the message will say.
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 for more than two years they call themselves “Syrian democratic forces.”
In Iran, PKK acts as “Party of Free Life of Kurdistan” (pjak).
