Is that true??
Oh sorry,I didn't know about that. I thought Imran Khan was...you know,like a lion who wanted to kick all those people out,just like the resolve he showed in 2019 and all that. I guess...only Musharraf was active again them,then?
Turkish situation is very different from Pakistan. Kurdish separation has almost died out and Kurds are nowhere as violent as Afghans.View attachment 957571IstanbulCNN —
Turkey’s military carried out airstrikes targeting Kurdish militants in northern Iraq on Sunday, just hours after the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) claimed responsibility for a deadly bombing in the capital in the latest attack of its nearly four-decade long insurgency.
In a statement, the Turkish Defense Ministry said its warplanes destroyed 20 PKK targets including caves, bunkers, shelters and warehouses in the regions of Metina, Hakurk, Kandil, and Gara.
“Many terrorists were neutralized by using the maximum amount of domestic and national ammunition,” said the statement, which cited self-defense rights from Article 51 of the United Nations Charter to justify the strikes.
The PKK, which is classified as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States, and the European Union, earlier said it was behind the blast Sunday outside Turkey’s Interior Ministry building that left one dead and two injured, the pro-PKK Firat News Agency reported.
The ministry said in a statement that two attackers murdered a civilian and stole his vehicle ahead of the opening of parliament in Ankara. Two police officers reportedly received non-life-threatening injuries.
One assailant blew himself up and the other was “neutralized,” the ministry said.
Investigators found four different types of guns, three hand grenades, one rocket launcher, and C-4 explosives at the scene.
The ministry confirmed at least one of the two attackers is a PKK member. The second attacker has yet to be identified, it said.

Turkish security forces cordon off an area after an explosion in Ankara on Sunday.
Kurds, who do not have an official homeland or country, are the biggest minority in Turkey, making up between 15% and 20% of the population, according to Minority Rights Group International.
Portions of Kurdistan – a non-governmental region and one of the largest stateless nations in the world – are recognized by Iran, where the province of Kordestan lies; and Iraq, site of the northern autonomous region known as Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) or Iraqi Kurdistan.
According to Ankara, the PKK trains separatist fighters and launches attacks against Turkey from its bases in northern Iraq and Syria, where a PKK-affiliated Kurdish group controls large swaths of territory.
Terror attacks in Turkey were tragically common in the mid to late 2010s, when the insecurity from war-torn Syria crept north above the two countries’ shared border.
And in November last year, Ankara blamed the PKK for a bomb attack on a central pedestrian boulevard in Istanbul that killed six and injured dozens.
In recent years, Turkey has carried out a steady stream of operations against the PKK domestically as well as cross-border operations into Syria.
In an address to lawmakers Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed that Turkey would continue its fight against terrorism “until the last terrorist is eliminated domestically and abroad.”
Sunday’s attack marked the “final flutters of terrorism” in the country, he added.

WHEN IS PAKISTAN GOING TO START RESPECTING ITSELF LIKE THIS? OR ARE THERE NO MEN WITH BALLS LEFT?
You guys are confusing me. One says no,the other says yes.Pakistani politics are so complicated and not just about this matter,I mean generally
Imran Khan is a hardcore pacifist, he did take action against India but that's because he would be humiliated internationally and domestically if he did nothing but I respect him for that still
When it comes to terrorists he wanted peace talks, etc.
Musharraf was a real lion yes but he had his own issues, was too liberalisatic and let problematic NGOs thrive, he didn't negotiate Pakistani interests well enough with Americans so we did some unnecessary shit sometimes all for American benefit only
That one soldier in the picture without a mask looks like an afghan. Now Turkey is recruiting afghans in the army?View attachment 957571IstanbulCNN —

Pakistani politics is very polarised. Imran Khan is tall and handsome and makes good speeches so he has a cult like following in Pakistan and the Muslim world at large. However, he is known to sympathise with the Taliban.You guys are confusing me. One says no,the other says yes.Pakistani politics are so complicated and not just about this matter,I mean generally
Islam is like drugs. It makes people blind to the truth and makes them numb to the truth.
TTP is an Afghan nationalist group
What do they want?
It hasn't died out, and Kurds are very violent too, just not the ones inside Turkey as they've been assimilated into mainstream Turkish culture
Search up a map of "Loy Afghanistan" I think it translates to Greater or True Afghanistan.
No, this is a common misconception in my opinion, people assume these groups who use the name of Islam do these acts purely for Islamic purposes or some "sacrifice" but its always politically motivated in nature as well
