"Turkey's top general on Wednesday said that the Turkish Armed Forces have killed almost 1,300 Daesh terrorists in Syria and Iraq.
Addressing the 10th Conference of Balkan Countries Chiefs of General Staff in Istanbul, Turkish Chief of General Staff Gen. Hulusi Akar remarked, "In addition to the bloody suicide attacks against our important provinces, Kilis on the [Syrian] border has recently been targeted by Daesh".
"The Republic of Turkey sees Daesh as a terrorist organization, this was made clear in 2013," Akar added, saying that Daesh does not represent Islam or Muslims.
"The Turkish Armed Forces have killed almost 1,300 Daesh terrorists in Syria and Iraq and destroyed a great number of weapons, rockets, weapon caches, vehicles, and buildings," he stated.
Akar also said that Ankara is continuing its determined fight against the PKK terrorist organization.
"While the PKK is killing innocent people, it works to gain legitimacy in international public opinion. Similarly, Daesh is one of the barbaric terrorist organizations threatening especially our region and the world generally," he said." YeniŞafak
