BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 25. The Turkish Ministry
of National Defense announced the neutralization of 2 terrorists in
northern Iraq, Trend reports.
The ministry noted the firm determination to fight against
terrorism.
Earlier, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that since 1984,
when PKK militants carried out a terrorist attack in Türkiye for
the first time, thousands of Turkish security forces, military
personnel, and civilians have died at the hands of this bloody
organization.
The US and the EU have added the PKK to lists of terrorist
organizations.
In recent years, the PKK has sought to shift responsibility for
the bloody crimes in the region to its offshoots.
In Syria, PKK terrorists hide behind the names PYD (Democratic
Union Party) and YPG, and in the last two years they have called
themselves the “Syrian Democratic Forces”.
In Iran, the PKK acts as the “Kurdistan Free Life Party”
(PJAK).
