Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that the blood of Turkish soldiers did not remain in vain and that the terrorists were held accountable for the blood they shed, and said, "12 terrorists have been neutralized so far in the Operation Claw region and northern Syria." Yesterday, 6 Turkish soldiers lost their lives as a result of the attack carried out by PKK elements in northern Iraq. In his speech today at the "Istanbul Transformation of the Century" program, the President of Turkey pointed out that 6 Turkish soldiers lost their lives in the attacks of the PKK and said: "12 terrorists have been neutralized so far in the Operation Claw region and the north of Syria. We have finished implementing this strategy of drying up terrorism at its source." "We will continue to do so with determination until the terrorist is eliminated." Emphasizing that Turkey will not allow a terrorist organization in the north of Iraq or Syria at any cost, Erdoğan said, "We will definitely not step back from our fight against the herds of hired killers who subcontract imperialists. Both bloody-handed murderers and those who support the separatist organization say that there is no place for terrorism in the future of our region." "Sooner or later they will understand. I wish success to all our security forces who do not allow terrorists to breathe inside and outside our borders. I pray that God makes our heroic soldiers victorious." he said.
