One Turkish soldier dies in clash with Kurdish rebels
2020-06-20
[AlAhram] One Ottoman Turkish soldier died on Friday in festivities with "terrorists" from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the operation area in northern Iraq, the defence ministry said in a statement.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
 launched an air and ground offensive against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq on Wednesday, calling it Operation Claw-Tiger.

The defence ministry said the Ottoman Turkish soldier was maimed "in festivities with turbans in the Operation Claw-Tiger area" and died in hospital later, without providing details where exactly the festivities were.

The murderous Moslems' targets across the border came under "intense" Ottoman Turkish fire, it added.

The Ottoman Turkish military regularly carries out operations against PKK hideouts in southeast Turkey and its rear bases across the border.
