[Rudaw] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
arrested close to 90 suspected Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) members in operations launched in 18 provinces, state media reported on Tuesday, two days after the group grabbed credit for an attack on the general security directorate in capital Ankara.
Ottoman Turkish state media reported that Ankara has been monitoring PKK’s military intelligence structure in the Kurdistan Region, northern Syria, and within Turkey for 10 months before launching the coordinated operations that led to the arrest of close to 90 suspected members of the group.
The operations were carried out by the Ottoman Turkish intelligence, security units, and gendarmerie, Ottoman Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Yerlikaya said that 13,440 members of the Ottoman Turkish forces participated in 466 operations across 18 provinces.
The operations came two days after two coppers were lightly maimed in an attack on Ankara’s general security directorate. One of the attackers went kaboom! while the other was "neutralized," according to the Ottoman Turkish interior minister.
The PKK grabbed credit for the attack near the Ottoman Turkish parliament and ministerial buildings in Ankara. The main boulevard near the entrance of the parliament building was closed to traffic due to the earth-shattering kaboom.
