The messages from the Turkish authorities towards the PUK (Sulaymaniyah), the Bafıl Talabani axis, continue. There are also comments from the last operation and the picture in general.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Fidan:
Despite our sanctions against Sulaymaniyah, if the PUK does not change its supportive attitude towards the PKK, we will not hesitate to take further measures.
Our consultation process with the Iraqi authorities continues, and our work is being carried out meticulously to reinforce the Iraqi administration's evolving understanding of the PKK."
The organization's transitivity between Syria and Iraq requires it to be neutralized in both areas. The coalition founded on anti-regime sentiment in Syria has evolved over time into cooperation with DAESH and PKK. We will continue to fight to end this distorted relationship and destroy the PKK in Syria, where it was born.
We will continue to explain that supporting any terrorist organization under different names in our south will further destabilize the entire region."
Minister of National Defence Guler:
"We have reached Zap, the heart of the terrorists. The last opposition of the terrorists who are helpless against the Mehmetçik.
Reaching Zap, the heart of the terrorists, caused the organization to demonstrate its last resistance in the Claw-Lock area.
To date, more than 600 of our citizens have lost their lives in attacks from northern Syria.
In the face of terrorists nesting right next to us, a more effective struggle concept across the border was put forward.
Yes, Türkiye paid a price regarding Syria, but we paid it before entering Syria and doing what was necessary.
The Claw series of operations, launched in the north of Iraq in 2019, enabled us to prevent the operational capability of the terrorists.
With our strategy that provides infiltration, hot pursuit and on-site neutralization, a secure line with a depth of 15-30 km was created on the 300 km long line extending from Sinat-Haftanin to Habur.
The security of our Iraq border, which is closed with the Claw Lock, has been established in depth. If we didn't have this strategy, we would pay a higher price in our own cities.
Today, there is no news of a single martyr from within the country, and there is not a single attack on our base areas. This shows the success of our strategy to eliminate terrorism at its source.
We will not allow the establishment of a terrorist state along our southern borders. We will implement all kinds of measures without hesitation.
We are determined to thwart the dirty plans of the countries that use the terrorist organization as a tool and those who provide all kinds of covert and open support."
