Turkey will pursue goals in the north of Syria after the completion of a cross -border operation against the terrorists of the Kurdistan Workers Party in Iraq, a senior Turkish official said after a terrorist attack on Triyklyal Stimbul Street, Reuters.
“Threats emanating from Kurdish militants or an Islamic state in relation to Turkey are unacceptable. Ankara will eliminate threats along its southern border anyway,” he told reporters.
According to the official, Syria is the problem of the national security of Turkey. The Turkish authorities accused PKK of organizing the Istanbul terrorist attack on November 13.
“Work is already underway. Operation against PKK continues in Iraq. After its completion in Syria, certain goals will appear,” the source said, refusing to name his name, because he was not authorized to speak with the media.
