The Turkish army eliminated six militants of the PKK terrorist organization in northern Iraq. This is reported on Wednesday by the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey.
According to the report, the militants were destroyed in the Iraqi district of Gara.
The department emphasized the determination to eliminate the threat of terrorism among the borders of Turkey.
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 PKK to the lists of terrorist organizations. In recent years, PKK seeks to transfer 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).
