Turkish Air Force last night struck 34 targets 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 preliminary data, 30 group fighters are neutralized.
According to the statement, the objects of terrorists in the areas of Hakurk, Gara, Kandil and Sinjar are attacked.
The department emphasized that the Turkish Armed Forces will continue the uncompromising struggle against terrorist organizations who were operating in the region.
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).
