He emphasized that the country's conflict is not with the Kurdish population in these regions, but solely with terrorist groups. Güler reiterated that the Turkish government has no issues with Kurdish individuals living in Iraq and Syria, focusing instead on the threat posed by terrorist organizations, including the PKK and YPG, which Türkiye aims to eliminate.
