The Turkish Government He assured this Saturday that he has killed 17 militants from Kurdish groups, whom he described as "terrorists", in operations in northern Iraq and Syria, without giving more details.
The Turkish Ministry of Defense assured on the social network
The Turkish Defense Ministry linked these deaths to Operation Claw Lock, a series of military interventions launched since 2019 in a border strip about 30 kilometers wide south of the Turkish border, in mountainous terrain in Iraq where the PKK has bases.
Furthermore, according to that message, 9 members of the PKK/YPG have been eliminated in northern Syria, where Turkey has troops deployed.
The YPG It is the Syrian Kurdish militia, which Ankara does not distinguish from the PKK but which for the United States is an ally in the fight against the Islamic State jihadist group.
The PKK began its armed confrontation with the Turkish state in 1983 to demand self-determination for Turkey's Kurdish minority, a demand that is now limited to asking for more political and cultural rights.
In the more than 40 years of fighting between Kurdish forces and guerrillas, more than 45.000 people have died.
For months, the Turkish Government has been announcing a massive military operation in northern Iraq to guarantee security on the border.
Since 2016, Turkey has launched several military interventions in Syria, where it controls and occupies a wide strip of land on the border between the two countries. EFE

Bravo, Joseba and thank you for supporting the Kurdish people. Thank you.
I agree with Joseba84. The land of the Kurds was given by dividing it between Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey and other genocidal countries.
Turkey, Iran, Syria, Iraq and others have stolen the lands of the Kurdish ethnic group because of the great powers that many decades ago made unjust territorial divisions, leaving the Kurds without their lands. And what has the UN done? NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING!, WHILE THE KURDS ARE MASSACRED BY SEVERAL COUNTRIES.
Bravo, Joseba and thank you for supporting the Kurdish people. Thank you.
