Should also add it wasn't just the pkk in bekaa, also asala and other armenians too. Some carried out attacks against Turkish targets, others went to Karabagh to fight Azerbaijan.There are good palestinians and bad like in all nations. This isn't about individuals, but the politics. It's a cause which many leaders encourage Turks to support but is never returned. Bizarre considering this cause is rooted in fighting the Turks and supporting the British Empire.
Fighters of the Palestinian cause also played a major role in creating Turkey's biggest security threat. The PKK. The pkk were only a small outfit in 1980, one of many militants groups in Turkey at the time. It was in Palestinian militant camps in the Bekaa Valley where the pkk sought refuge and where the PKK were trained by palestinian militants, creating a more dangerous and better trained terrorist group.
When you think the PKK could of been destroyed in the 80s instead they were sheltered and trained in Bekaa and 4 decades costing Turkey tens of thousands dead and hundreds of billions spent countering them. Thanks, Palestine.
