The Ministry reaffirmed Turkiye’s commitment to continuing its fight against the PKK/YPG terrorist organization in Syria and Iraq.
The PKK has been responsible for thousands of deaths since its first attack in Siirt in 1981 and poses a threat to the territorial integrity of Turkiye, Syria, Iraq and Iran. The organization continues to destabilize the region with support from the U.S., including training, financial aid and weaponry.
