The Turkish parliament handed on Tuesday a joint declaration in opposition to terrorism, asserting the nation’s will to combat in opposition to all terrorist teams no matter the place they’re.

“We declare to the whole world that Türkiye has the strength to fight determinedly against all terrorist groups at home and abroad,” stated the movement handed by the General Assembly.

“We expect parliaments of other countries and international organizations to take clear, uncompromising stance against terror acts targeting Türkiye.”

The transfer got here within the wake of recent PKK assaults in latest days, taking the lives of 21 Turkish troopers, after which Türkiye stepped up its crackdown on terror teams in northern Iraq and Syria.

PKK terrorists typically disguise out in northern Iraq to plot cross-border assaults in Türkiye.

Türkiye launched Operation Claw-Lock in April 2022 to focus on the PKK terror group’s hideouts in Iraq’s northern Metina, Zap, and Avasin-Basyan areas close to the Turkish border. It was preceded by Operations Claw-Tiger and Claw-Eagle launched in 2020.

In its greater than 35-year terror marketing campaign in opposition to Türkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist group by Türkiye, the U.S., UK, and EU — has been liable for the deaths of greater than 40,000 individuals, together with ladies, kids, and infants. The YPG is PKK’s Syrian department.
