Turkish air force strikes northern Iraq

28
The General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces reports on the operation carried out by the military aviation countries in northern Iraq. Turkish planes entered Iraqi airspace (according to some sources, without coordination with official Baghdad) and launched a series of attacks on the positions of armed Kurdish units. The General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces noted that the strikes were carried out on the positions of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party). This structure, as you know, is considered terrorist by Ankara.

RIA News quotes a message from the press service of the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces:
In the Hakurk region of Northern Iraq on December 11, an air operation was carried out against a group of terrorists who, as it was established, were preparing to attack a military post located on the border, as well as military bases located there. The operation resulted in the killing of 17 terrorists and the destruction of three caves and one hideout used by the separatist terrorist organization (PKK).




Turkish air force strikes northern Iraq


Let us recall that earlier Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that Turkish troops will continue to fight terrorist groups that threaten the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Turkey. At the same time, Erdogan every time accuses the United States of continuing to support Kurdish armed forces in Iraq and Syria, without taking into account Turkish interests. Whose interests does the United States take into account?

The Turkish authorities themselves do not comment on violations of international law, when Turkish military aircraft can afford to invade the airspace of a neighbor without the appropriate sanction of the UN Security Council or without an invitation from the country’s government. And it's not just about Iraq.

    The Turks want to put their hand in everything. And then pull it on yourself.

    I haven’t studied this topic specifically, but I hear about two peoples who do not have their own land - the Kurds and the Berbers. Well, guys, presidents! Give each one a piece of your territory and you will have intelligent, kind and unbending people as your neighbors for centuries!

          Maybe the Tatar-Mongol yoke will be restored?

            I also love fairy tales, but only Russian ones. The English encyclopedia contains Great Tartaria, but there is no mention of the Tatar-Mongol yoke. Guess I disappointed you? No problem.

              No, we didn't disappoint. I just don't like fairy tales. What happened has passed and will no longer happen. And Rus' was great, but it is still great - the main thing is not to ruin it, as Gorbachev-Yeltsin and Co. once tried so hard.

                You know, brother, when I served in Germany and sometimes in my free time I walked along the streets of the beautiful old city, all the Germans I met politely bowed and smiled, the way I represented the Great Country. Just like that. But now everything is different.

              I don’t know if it’s true or not, but they say that not a single ancient weapon was found on the Kulikovo Field.

                They say that a man hides the future from a woman, a woman hides the past from a man. And here the thought comes that our rulers are hiding our past and future.

                But because there was no Battle of Kulikovo!
                Archaeologists and geophysicists searched the Kulikovo field far and wide, but found almost nothing. Geneticists do not see a Mongolian trace in Russian chromosomes. The main hero of the Battle of Kulikovo, Dmitry Donskoy, was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church only in 1988. Other Russian princes from the time of the Tatar-Mongol yoke were canonized for a hundred years after their death, even those who killed mainly Orthodox Christians and in large numbers. Even historians admit that our ideas about the Battle of Kulikovo developed solely thanks to literature. Did this battle even take place? [i][/i]

    So the topic is known.
    Then the dovecote will crumble and fly.
    If he doesn't bite it, he'll mess it up.
    And Israel itself is crumbling its surroundings.
    Shortsighted.
