Turkey launches new air, ground operation against PKK
|
[Rudaw] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
launched a new ground and air cross-border operation against suspected Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) bases in Duhok province, the Ottoman Turkish defense minister announced early on Monday.
Ottoman Turkish jets and artillery struck PKK targets consisting of "shelters, bunkers, caves, tunnels, ammunition depots and a so-called headquarter belonging to the terrorist organization," Hulusi Akar said.
Dubbed Claw-Lock, the new operation is aimed at PKK hideouts in Metina, Zap and Avashin-Basyan areas, he added.
The PKK earlier on Monday claimed that "tens" of Ottoman Turkish helicopters targeted the PKK-entrenched Zap area as Ankara attempts "to land its troops there," reported media affiliated to the gang Roj News, adding that the helicopters were flying from bases within the Kurdistan Region.
"Until now, our operation continues successfully as planned. The targets set in the first phase have been achieved," Akar noted.
Ottoman Turkish warplanes heavily bombarded Kurdish villages in Duhok on Sunday, striking fear among the residents in the area. In a series of videos sent to Rudaw, jets can be heard flying over Shiladze town.
There are no reports of civilian casualties following the latest incursion.
Turkey has conducted numerous cross-border aerial and ground operations against the PKK over the past decade. In February, it launched the Winter Eagle operation against the gang in Shingal and Makhmour.
The latest offense came two days after Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani’s visit to Istanbul, where he met with the 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...
on Friday.
Turkey has come under criticism from Baghdad, Erbil, Tehran, and the wider international community for violating Iraqi illusory sovereignty, but Ankara continues to establish increasing numbers of bases and outposts in the mountains of Erbil and Duhok provinces.
