Akar said that in the period after April 24, 2015, the Turkish army neutralized 37,793 terrorists 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 Iran, PKK acts as “Party of Free Life of Kurdistan” (pjak).
