KRG authorities organized a special operation targeting a PKK cell house in Erbil arresting big numbers of PKK members which were in preparations of attacks against the Turkish Consulate in Erbil and also attacks in Turkey. After threats from PKK KDP gave them an answer by pointing the facts that PKK has been stealing from the people's belongings and were blackmailing them for money, that PKK is a threat to the Kurdish people and that the Kurdish people are paying the price for what PKK is doing.
