Erdogan: End Near for PKK in Syria, Turkey Ready for Sudden Military Action
Jan 6, 2025, 04:28 PM
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has declared that the end of Kurdish militants in Syria is approaching, following the ousting of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad last month. Speaking after a cabinet meeting in Ankara, Erdogan emphasized that Syria's new leadership is determined to eliminate separatists in the country. He also warned that Turkey is prepared to launch a new cross-border operation into Syria against the Kurdish militia if it feels threatened. Erdogan stated that Turkey has shown its firm commitment to its survival and security, hinting at potential military action by saying, 'we can come suddenly one night.' Additionally, Turkey's military reported having 'neutralized' 32 members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in Syria.
