Turkey neutralizes 3 YPG/PKK terrorists in N. Syria

Terrorists tried to disrupt peace in Operation Peace Spring zone, says Defense Ministry

ANKARA (AA) – Turkey neutralized three YPG/PKK terrorists in northern Syria, the National Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

The terrorists were neutralized after they opened fire in the Operation Peace Spring zone to disrupt peace and security, the ministry said in a tweet.

Turkish authorities often use the word “neutralize” to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.

Since 2016, Turkey has launched a trio of successful anti-terror operations across its border in northern Syria to prevent the formation of a terror corridor and enable the peaceful settlement of residents: Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018), and Peace Spring (2019).

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU – has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including women, children and infants. The YPG is the PKK’s Syrian offshoot.
