Turkish Armed Forces neutralized five Iraqi terrorists of the RSC, the country’s Ministry of National Defense reports.
According to information, terrorists were neutralized in the area of Pençe-Kielit operation in the north of Iraq.
The department emphasized that the Turkish military continues a decisive struggle with terrorists until the terrorist threat is completely eradicated.
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)
