Over the past week, Turkish Armed Forces neutralized 37 militants of the RSC terrorist organization, including in the north of Iraq and Syria.
This was announced at a briefing by a representative of the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey of the convict Akturk.
Thus, the number of terrorists neutralized since the beginning of the current year reached 1388, he noted.
Akturk added that since 2015, the Turkish security forces neutralized 38,731 group fighters.
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).
