The Turkish military neutralized a total of 16 members of the Red Army/YPG terrorist organization in the northern regions of Iraq and Syria.
According to the report, 11 militants are neutralized in the regions of ASOS, HARAKOM and Gara Iraq, another 5 in the zone of operation “Euphrates Shield” in Syria.
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 years of its 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).
