Turkey attacks Makhmur Camp
2021-09-04
[SHAFAQ] On Friday, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
Attacked the Makhmur camp in Nineveh Governorate.

A security source told Shafaq News Agency that a drone targeted a PKK security point near the Camp.

He did not give further details.

It is worth noting that last May, The Ottoman Turkish aircraft had raided the camp, saying it targeted PKK fighters.

The Makhmur refugee camp, founded in 1998, is located in the , Iraq.

About 12,000 Kurdish refugees, who fled the civil war between Kurds and the Ottoman Turkish state in the 1990s, live in this refugee camp.

Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...
threatened that Turkey would "cleanse the Makhmur camp" which it says shelters PKK fighters.
Rudaw adds:
“At around 8:20 am, today [Friday] Turkish airplanes hit an empty house in Makhmour camp,” the source, who preferred to stay anonymous, said. No casualties were reported, they added.

Media affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) Roj News also reported the attack saying the attack shattered the windows of some houses and damaged the houses of some civilians.

Ankara believes the camp has close ties with the PKK, an armed Kurdish group that is on Turkey’s terror list. The PKK, which fights for greater rights for Kurds in Turkey, has its headquarters in the Kurdistan Region’s Qandil mountains.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told state-owned TRT last month that their next target after Qandil is Makhmour. "Makhmour is almost the incubation nest of Qandil. This brood nest is flourishing in the city centre. If we do not go after this, this brood nest will continue to produce,” he said. "We care about Makhmour as much as Qandil."
