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.

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 are confused

We let billions of barrels of oil and per local reliable witness terrorists to and fro from the boarder

Because the more this continues the more the establishment can have grip on politics

Turkish situation is very different from Pakistan. Kurdish separation has almost died out and Kurds are nowhere as violent as Afghans.

over 150.000 PKK-YPG Terrorists are now in Iraq and Syria which were armed with 40.000 trucks of weapons by USA


Preventive military operations of Turkiye against terrorism


A -- Turkish Army ( over 15.000 troops ) with military bases blocked N.Iraq

B -- 3 Turkish military operations kicked PKK-YPG and ISIS terrorists out of Turkish-Syria border line

Turkish Army cleaned Syrian cities from PKK-YPG and ISIS terrorists ...and created safe zone

( Turkish Army control Jarablus , Rai , Dabiq , Azaz , Al Bab , Afrin , Rasulayn , Tel Abyad )
Also Turkish Army blocked Idlib


C-- since 2015 , hundreds of Turkish Airstrikes carried out to eliminate terrorist attacks from northern Iraq against Turkish people and security forces

D-- Turkish UCAVs control the region 24/7


38.528 terrorists have been neutralized in Turkiye , Iraq and Syria since 2015

This is just the beginning revenge of the Turk is always terrible. They will pay the price thousand fold.

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

Musharraf was very close to Turkiye he also spoke Turkish fluently.

 

[Yawm al-qiyāma]

That one soldier in the picture without a mask looks like an afghan. Now Turkey is recruiting afghans in the army?

These are not soldiers this is the PÖH Police special operations this paramilitary units consists of hardcore neo Ottomans, islamists or ultra nationalist greywolves. Afghans or other races can never become part of this group.

What about Kemalists?

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

For example TTP serves Afghan expansionist goals, Islam only naturally becomes part of it because you have to remember these are very traditional people with little development so religion is always involved for narrative building

The same is true for many other regions, they reference political reasons such as weakening American proxy control or establishing certain type of states

Afghans want more Islam. And Pakiman is not Islamic enough for them.

 

[TheSolution]

Afghans want more Islam. And Pakiman is not Islamic enough for them.

Afghans want more land so they can reach the ocean, just like Hitler had an idea for more living space territory known as "Lebensraum", the Afghans have a similar idea that will grant their land-locked nation access to the sea, which they call "Loy Afghanistan" aka Greater Afghanistan.

This has been their plan for nearly a century, their state was destroyed in the process so now they use terrorism as a method

 

[Sayfullah]

Islam is like drugs. It makes people blind to the truth and makes them numb to the truth.

The problem you describe can be seen in every Islamic country. It is a big problem.

Stfu you dirty pajeet. Y’all a backwards street shitting toiletless nation even without Islam. Y’all beg to get visas to be able to work in Muslim countries in the Gulf. Islam is the truth. The ones blind is you stinky pigs who worship stones you create with your own hands. The ones on drugs are those who drink cow piss and bath in cow shit thinking it has any scientific benefit. The only Hindu country in the world is nowhere near developed as any Muslim country in the Gulf. Know your place you dirty street shitters!
In Sha Allah Muslims will rule the subcontinent once again and you backward pigs will finally be civilized by Islam.

What about Kemalists?

The Afghan terrorists movements are ethnocentric movements based upon pashtunism in essence

Religion is more a coincidence

Similar to the Kurds to some extent, but the Kurds don't tend to blow or mosques or schools

Being a ethnocentric movement, makes it awkward to deal with or destroy,, because even if the general public may not agree with terrorism as such, their is a problem of general identity, tribal bonds, comradeship etc
So go in too hard and wipe villages out in Afghanistan may create more problems and issues because you risk inciting people

If the afghans were a different race to our own pashtuns or tribal areas,, this issues would have been over over a decade ago

Pakistanis want more Islam in Pakistan but neo pajeets in power are the biggest obstacle. Rest reassured, once the dirty neo pajeets are removed from power, nothing can stop us from levelling somnath again In Sha Allah.

Kurds, Afgans and Persians are all same iranian race.

Imran Khan loved the Taliban and settled them into Pakistan which is what started this mess to begin with.

IK was in power from august 2018 till March 2022 and terrorism has been going on since
2005. Napak Fouj is not interested in fighting, they just send low level soldiers to get blown
up by IEDS.

Their only interest is money, land grabbing, DHA's, political interference, election rigging,
whisky and women.

You know historically women were one of the driving motivating forces behind conquerors

 

[Meengla]

When the government jails the only politician with balls to order operations and raids against terrorists,what do you expect?

That's one more myth about Imran Khan. If anything, he was rightly perceived as more soft against the Taliban militants, constantly calling them 'Apney Log' (our own people). This forum has, by being extremely vocal, distorted a lot of things about Imran Khan and let foreigners like you to believe in such myths.

@Bleek: The best option for Pakistan is not to use expensive missiles but to force the Afghan Taliban govt. to control the TTP terrorists of pay heavy economic price. WTH is wrong with the Afghan Taliban govt to tolerate the TTP thugs to target Pakistan. There is no gain from that and only loss.

So why you accepted in your country then? Doesn’t make sense what you say. You are Muslim and they are Muslim too. You can’t get more Muslim than Afghan-****.

Pakistanis want more Islam in Pakistan but neo pajeets in power are the biggest obstacle. Rest reassured, once the dirty neo pajeets are removed from power, nothing can stop us from levelling somnath again In Sha Allah.

If there is more Islam in Pakistan what will it solve?

Nah man. Islam is Islam. The Islam you are talking about doesn’t exist in reality.

There are multiple interests at play here far beyond IK or Sharifs or Zardaris.

First, the establishment wouldn’t like to destabilize the border too much. Why? They benefit out of smuggling activities and that’s their bread and butter. So a miscreants creates trouble and bombs blowing up here and there. But an operation would hurt the smuggling business, hence that’s a no.

Secondly, the establishment is busy conducting operations against Pakistanis, hence resources and time are stretched to focus on Afghanistan.

Thirdly, there is an interest group within Pakistan’s security establishment that still believes in Good Taliban vs Bad Taliban, and in the current environment, a few soldiers being martyred on a weekly basis is worth the sacrifice as opposed to conducting an operation inside Afghanistan.

Fourthly, the establishment fears blowback from groups within Afghanistan. The Taliban, TTP and possibly ISIS will probably become one and attack Pakistan if it attacks Afghanistan.
