Turkey says two soldiers killed in Kurdistan Region, blames PKK
2023-06-13
[Rudaw] Two Ottoman Turkish soldiers were killed in the Kurdistan Region on Sunday, the Ottoman Turkish defense ministry announced, blaming the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), days after a man allegedly affiliated with the party was fatally shot in Sulaimani.

The Ottoman Turkish defense said that two infantry sergeants were killed in the "Claw-Lock operations area" in the Kurdistan Region, as a result of the earth-shattering kaboom of a handmade bomb. The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
blamed the PKK for the attack. The group has not made any comment regarding the incident.

The Claw-Lock operation was a cross-border military operation of Ottoman Turkish armed forces in 2019, to eradicate PKK on the borders between Turkey and Kurdistan Region, in Duhok's Metina, Zap, Avashin, and Basyan areas.

Several hours later, Turkey said it killed seven members of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in northern Syria. Ankara views the YPG as the Syrian offshoot of the PKK. The attack was not reported by the YPG.

The operations come two days after a member of the Mesopotamian Workers’ Association, which is allegedly affiliated with PKK, was killed in Sulaimani. Firat News Agency (ANF), which is a media outlet linked to PKK pointed fingers at the Ottoman Turkish state and the Kurdistan Region’s ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
(KDP) of being behind the killing. Despite having strong ties to Turkey, the KDP has constantly denied such accusations.

PKK rarely comments on the number of strikes and casualties announced by the Ottoman Turkish defense ministry.
