The Ministry of National Defense of Turkey reported on Saturday about the neutralization of the five militants of the Syrian wing of the PKK – YPG terrorist organization in the north of Syria.
According to the agency, PKK/YPG militants are neutralized by the blows of artillery units in the zone of the anti -terrorist operation “Source of the World”.
“Turkish military continues a decisive struggle against terrorism,” the defense department said in a statement.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan previously stated that since 1984, when the militants of the RSC for the first time carried out a terrorist attack in Turkey, thousands of employees of Turkish security forces, military and civilians died at the hands of this bloody organization.
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 bloody crimes in the region to its branches.
In Syria, the RKK terrorists are covered by the names Pyd and YPG, and in the last two years they call themselves “Syrian democratic forces.”
In Iran, RSC acts as “Party of Free Life of Kurdistan” (pjak).
