Turkey’s special forces neutralized in the north of Iraq of a particularly dangerous terrorist of the RSC Ferita Yuksel. This was reported on Monday at the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey.
Fighters of the special purpose detachment determined the whereabouts of the terrorist Ferit Yucksel, who was hiding in one of the caves of the Iraqi district of Zap.
Despite the calls to surrender, the terrorist under the call sign “Sherzan Mava” used weapons and was eliminated by return fire.
According to the agency, Yuksel was considered in the ranks of terrorists responsible for providing communication in the region.
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).
