In the Pençe-Kielit operation zone, three RSC terrorists are neutralized in the north of Iraq. On Friday, on March 15, the press service of the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey reported.
The Armed Forces of Turkey continue to effectively and decisively conduct operations aimed at eliminating terrorism, the department noted.
“Three terrorists of the RKK were neutralized in the area of Pençe -Kielit operation in the north of Iraq. Our operations will continue without reducing the pace,” 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 in the last two years they call themselves “Syrian democratic forces.”
In Iran, PKK acts as “Party of Free Life of Kurdistan” (pjak).
