With the revolution in Syria… the hopes of the separatist terrorist organization have hit a wall,” Erdogan told his party’s provincial congress in Trabzon.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Sunday that Syria’s new leadership is determined to wipe out separatists, while issuing new threats against the Kurds.
“With the revolution in Syria… the hopes of the separatist terrorist organization have hit a wall,” Erdogan told his party’s provincial congress in Trabzon, as reported by the Reuters news agency.
“The new government in Syria shows an extremely determined attitude to maintain the territorial integrity and unified structure of the country,” he added.
“The end of the terrorist organization is near. There is no other option but to surrender their weapons, give up terrorism and dismantle the organization. They will face the iron fist of Turkey,” Erdogan announced.
Earlier, the defense ministry announced an operation by the armed forces in northern Syria in which it said it had “neutralized” 32 PKK members. It said the Turkish military also “neutralized” four PKK members in northern Iraq, where the militants are based.
Since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, Turkish-backed Syrian forces have occasionally clashed in the north with US-backed Kurdish forces, which Ankara calls “terrorist”.
