Ankara is working to prevent PKK terrorists from using northern Iraq as a ‘terror’ corridor to attack its security forces and civilians within Turkey
In the Afrin attack, YPG terrorists used a loaded fuel truck to attack civilians. The death toll included 11 children.Local authorities were informed of the Turkish cross-border activity in Iraq to neutralise the PKK terror threat, according to Turkish officials, who said both the Baghdad government and Kurdish regional authority were aware.
The Iraqi army, which has carried out large scale operations against Daesh, has not taken similar action to reduce the PKK terror group’s hold within some parts of northern Iraq. Having been devastated by the Turkish armed forces, the PKK is resorting to extreme measures to keep itself functioning, such as the use of child soldiers and kidnapping locals and forcing them to serve in its terrorist organisations.
Turkey has made use of the latest technology to ensure civilians are out of harm’s way, such as highly accurate armed UAVs and surveillance drones. In June, Turkey Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said: “We have dealt a heavy blow to the terrorist organisation in northern Iraq.”Related News
