MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Turkish security forces have killed 43 fighters of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), banned in Turkey, within seven days, local media reported on Saturday, citing a statement of Turkish General Staff.
The PKK fighters were killed during counterterrorism operations conducted in the country’s southeastern provinces of Sirnak, Diyarbakir and Hakkari on August 17-24, the Yeni Safak newspaper reported.
The security forces reportedly managed to seize firearms and C4 explosives during the operation.

Of course Barzani and Co were getting their cut whilst it lasted. The Kurd’s are a divided group that’s why they’ve never had nor will they ever have a homeland. The Kurd’s of Syria were quite good compared to the rest, that is until they turned against the SAA and Government and all for a short wet dream. The fools were thinking… Read more »
