The Ministry of National Defense of Turkey announced the neutralization of two RSC terrorists in the Kandil region in the north of Iraq and eight RKK/YPG terrorists in the zone of the Euphrates Shield in the north of Syria.
“Not a single place is safe for terrorists. Two terrorists of the RSC in the Kandil region in the north of Iraq and 8 terrorists of the RKK/YPG in the zone of the Euphrates Shield in the northern Syria were neutralized by the Armed Forces of Turkey,” the department said in a statement from the department .
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that since 1984, when the militants of the RSC for the first time had carried out a bloody crime in Turkey, and until March 2020, 7,500 security forces of Turkey and 6,800 civilians were killed at the hands of this bloody organization.
The United States and the European Union introduced PKK to the lists of terrorist organizations.
Despite Ankara’s attempts to find ways to settle the situation, the PKK terrorist organization has resumed armed attacks since July 2015.
In recent years, PKK seeks to shift 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).
