Unit of Turkish army enters village in Kurdistan Region
A unit of Turkish army entered a village in the Kurdistan Region’s sub-district of Sidakan on Thursday (May 31).
The Turkish army’s unit entered Barmiza village with military vehicles met with the villagers in the village’s mosque.
Turkish army has told the villagers that they were there to “target fighters of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK)”, according to sources to NRT.
A Turkish army’s commander has also said they would stay in the area for a period, but he did not specify a timeline, sources said.
The unit of Turkish army had dinner with the villagers as well.
The Turkish army has entered 20 kilometers into the Kurdistan Region, local authorities said. The Turkish military has also created a number of military bases inside the Region.
The three-decade armed struggle by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) against the Turkish government flared up again in 2015 after the collapse of a two-year cease-fire and settlement process, plunging Turkey's predominantly Kurdish southeast back into open conflict between Turkish security forces and the PKK.
