The Turkish government may be involved in peace talks with PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, but that isn’t stopping them from continuing to fight the 30-year-long war with them.
Turkish warplanes attacked 12 different targets in Iraqi Kurdistan, all in the Mount Qandil region, along the border between Iraq and Iran. So far casualty reports have not been released.
The attacks will add yet more strain to peace talks that are already in serious doubts after the assassination of three Kurdish rebels in Paris. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan insisted that he assassinations were a plot to foil the peace talks, but officials have yet to address the Iraq attacks.
Turkey has struggled with its Kurdish minority for decades, and the PKK has become more active again in the past year, trading attacks with the Turkish military off and on throughout the summer.
What pay-off did Iraq get from Turkey to allow the Turks perform this aggression?
Turkey is a US puppet. Erdugan is working with Obama and NATO to kill the leader of other targeted countreis like Syria. Turkey is serving the interest of the west. Turkey enriches itself on Iran sanction , then like Russia and China is pleased with killing Iranian children. Turkey is rewarded by Obama and NATO for its cooperation against Assad and Iran by opening their markets open to Turkey's goods. American as well as European markets has been flooded by dry fruits from Turkey to fund the war agianst muslim that Erdugan is involved. BOYCOTT TURKISH DRY FRUIT AND OTHER ITEMS to raise you voice against the war criminals including Turkey. TURKEY is trying to topple Assad, so be easier to wage war against Iran. Turkey is responsible for 50000 deaths in Libya. Erdugan is a war criminal.
It seems it is just fine for the Turk's to use air power to bomb the Kurds. When Siria uses it's air force ,the west gets all upset over it . There sure is a double standard.
