Turkey says air force kills 13 in north Iraq air strike |
2017-09-28 |
[AlAhram] "In an air strike in northern Iraq, 13 armed members of a separatist terrorist organization preparing for an attack were neutralized," the statement said, using a term which ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... uses to describe Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) Death Eaters. The PKK has been waging an insurgency in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast since the 1980s, but also has bases across the border in northern Iraq which Turkey regularly targets. Turkey fears the referendum, which was overwhelmingly approved, could fuel support for separatism in its southeastern region, and has threatened economic and military measures in response. |
