The National Intelligence Organization of Turkey (Mi̇t) during the operation neutralized one of the leaders of the Red Army/KSK of Islam Jehanfer in the Penzhevin (Suleimania) in the north of Iraq, about 200 km from the Turkish border.
According to sources in the Turkish security forces, the Turkish special services tracked the activities of the terrorist under the code name “Berkhudan Kelhor” -a detector from Iran. The militant “answered” including for the activities of one of the paramilitary units of YPG (Syrian wing of the RSC).
It is noted that Jehanfer was responsible for the activities of PKK/KCK-Pyd/YPG members and treated wounded militants during his stay in Syria. In addition, he carried out terrorist activities in Iraq and Syria.
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).
