The Turkish military neutralized 10 members of the Red Army terrorist organization in the north of Iraq and Syria.
This is stated in the message of the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey.
According to the report, five militants were neutralized in the gas area and the Pençe-Kielit operation zone in the north of Iraq.
Five terrorists managed to neutralize the counter -terrorist operations of the Turkish Army Euphrates in the zone.
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).
