Ankara claims it destroyed many PKK bunkers, tunnels, weapons dumps, and military headquarters in northern Iraq's border areas of Metina, Zap, and Avashin-Basyan before moving its ground forces into Irak. The number of troops and military equipment involved in the operation is unknown. "Our business is progressing smoothly and on schedule." "The first phase's goals were met,", Akar said, according to the Associated Press. According to the minister, Turkish forces are solely targeting "terrorists," and are taking great steps to avoid civilian casualties and cultural property damage. "Our fight will go on until the last terrorist is eliminated,", he stated. We are adamant about saving our noble nation from the terror tragedy that has afflicted it for the past 40 years. Since 1984, the PKK, a Kurdish militant political organization and armed guerrilla movement fighting for an autonomous Kurdistan, has been at odds with Ankara in a war that has claimed over 40,000 lives. Turkey has launched a number of military operations against the PKK, which is entrenched in northern Iraq and has used the region to fuel an insurgency in the country's east. The US, UK, and EU have all recognized the PKK as a terrorist organization. In the war against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, the Kurds, on the other hand, were a critical partner of the West and the US. In Syria's Kurdish-controlled parts, Washington has a military presence, while in Iraq's Kurdistan region, there are multiple American military sites and a US consulate in Erbil. Thanks for watching.
