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).
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.
