Erdogan claims Turkey killed senior PKK official in Makhmour attack

[Rudaw] 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...

killed a bigwig of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in an attack near Makhmour refugee camp which left three people dead on Saturday.
Selman Bozkir, who Erdogan claims was a senior PKK official and head of the camp, was "neutralised" by intelligence forces, the president tweeted on Sunday afternoon.

near the camp, home to more than 12,000 Kurdish refugees who fled state persecution in Turkey, which was confirmed by a Peshmerga commander in the area. The camp is located in territory disputed between Erbil and Baghdad, and is believed by Turkey to have close ties with the PKK, which is designated a terrorist organization by Ankara.
The PKK, which fights for greater rights for Kurds in Turkey, has its headquarters in the Kurdistan Region’s Qandil mountains.
On Wednesday, Erdogan indicated that Makhmour — which he described as an "incubation nest" for the PKK — would soon be targeted. He used similar language on Sunday, saying Turkey will not allow the PKK to use the camp as an "incubation centre for terrorism."
The attack comes amid ongoing Ottoman Turkish operations in Duhok province, said to be targeting the PKK. Numerous civilians have been injured in recent airstrikes, and villages emptied amid fear of further Ottoman Turkish bombings.
An Iraqi security official said PKK officials at the camp had prevented police from entering the camp after the air strike, and declined to share details of the casualties.

has taken its decades-old conflict with Kurdish Death Eaters deep into northern Iraq, establishing military bases and deploying armed military drones against the fighters in their mountain strongholds.
Most of the operations have focused on territory up to 30 km (20 miles) from the border. But Makhmour lies further inside Iraq, and Saturday's strike on the camp prompted dozens in Iraq's Kurdish province of Sulaimaniya to march in protest.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield visited Ankara last week and said she told officials that "any attack targeting civilians at Makhmour refugee camp would be a violation of international and humanitarian law".
The camp was established in the 1990s when thousands of Kurds from Turkey crossed the border in a movement Ankara says was deliberately provoked by the PKK, which is designated a terrorist organization by the United States and European Union
