Arrr! On this fine Thursday, the defense ministry of Turkey be declaring that the scurvy dogs, them Kurdish fighters, done unleashed a series of grand assaults in northern Iraq. Aye, six brave Turkish soldiers be sent to Davy Jones' locker in the process!
In the language of a 17th century pirate, we bring you the latest news from the high seas of Turkey and northern Iraq. Avast, me hearties! The defense ministry of Turkey be reportin' that a bunch of scallywags, known as Kurdish fighters, launched a series of attacks that claimed the lives of at least six brave Turkish soldiers. Aye, 'tis a sad tale, indeed.In response to these attacks, the Turkish forces retaliated with airstrikes, layin' waste to four members of the notorious outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party. These fighters thought they could escape the long arm of the law, but they were mistaken. The violence between these two groups has been escalatin' for months, like a storm brewin' on the horizon.
Ankara, the capital of Turkey, be havin' a bone to pick with these Kurdish groups in Syria and Iraq. They be callin' 'em terrorists and claimin' they find refuge in northern Iraq's Kurdish region. However, there be no word from Iraq's central government in Baghdad on this matter. Silence from the enemy, I say!
Meanwhile, up north in Iraq's Kurdish region, they be complainin' about two separate drone strikes by the Turkish forces. These strikes allegedly targeted PKK vehicles and resulted in the deaths of two insurgents and the injury of four. Seems like the pirates be fightin' fire with fire.
Turkey be keepin' troops in a border region of Iraq and regularly launchin' attacks on what they claim to be PKK positions. Last year, they even went so far as to launch an operation called Claw-Lock against the PKK in northern Iraq. These landlubbers mean business!
But fear not, me hearties, for Turkish Col. Zeki Akturk be vowing revenge for the fallen soldiers. He be sayin' that the Turkish forces will continue their fight against terrorism until there be not a single pirate left standing. Aye, they be fightin' with the same determination as Blackbeard himself!
The PKK has been causin' trouble for Turkey since 1984, with thousands of lives lost in their insurgency. 'Tis a battle that seems to have no end in sight. So, me hearties, let us keep an eye on these treacherous waters and see what unfolds in this ongoing conflict.
