Teröristlerin taciz atışları cezasız kalmıyor!

Türkiye has been conducting military operations in northern Syria since 2016 as Syrian regime leader Bashar Assad has failed to protect the country's territories from terror groups.

The Turkish government has vowed that operations in northern Syria are a reminder of Türkiye's determination to fight the PKK/YPG and other terrorist groups in the region.

The PKK/YPG terror group has been fighting the Turkish state for decades. It is designated as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, the United States, and other countries.

The PKK/YPG has been carrying out numerous terrorist attacks against Turkish civilians and security forces.

The terrorist group is known for human rights abuses, including forced recruitment of children and torture.
