In recent years, Turkish forces have carried out intensive operations against Kurdish militants, whom they consider terrorists, in both Iraq and Syria, saying that this comes in response to attacks launched or planned by elements of the Kurdistan Workers Party, which Turkey has been fighting for more than 3 decades inside The country and beyond.
