Turkish Armed Forces neutralized two YPG terrorists (Syrian wing of the RSC) in the north of Syria. This was reported on Monday by the press service of the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey.
The department noted that the Turkish Armed Forces continue to fight terrorists, the only purpose of which is to shed blood in the region.
The Turkish military neutralized four PKK/ YPG militants who fired at the area in the operation of the Euphrates Shield.
According to the department, the terrorists were neutralized in the zone of the Euphrates Shield.
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).
