Moreover, Turkish law enforcement agencies have arrested 35 suspects in Istanbul having relations with the PKK terrorist organisation. The Istanbul prosecutor's office issued arrest warrants for a total of 44 individuals in connection with PKK activities in the city. 

Investigators unveiled that 34 of those arrested are affiliated with the PKK's youth wing and were planning to organise a series of street disturbances in Istanbul, by using Molotov cocktails. 

Three militants had received training in PKK camps and were sent to Istanbul to carry out terrorist attacks. Six individuals were involved in financing the terrorist activities. Law enforcement officers successfully apprehended 35 suspects, while the search for the remaining individuals continues.

Since 2016, Ankara has launched a trio of successful anti-terror operations across its border in northern Syria to prevent the formation of a terror corridor and enable the peaceful settlement of residents: Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018), and Peace Spring (2019).

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, the US, and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people, including women, children, and infants.
