Oct 05, 2023
Istanbul [Turkey], October 5: All infrastructure and energy facilities belonging to two Kurdish militant groups in neighbouring Syria and Iraq are now "legitimate targets" for Turkey, Foreign Minister HakanFidan said on Wednesday, three days after a suicide bombing in the capital Ankara.
The two attackers were trained in Syria and entered Turkey from there illegally, Fidan told reporters. He threatened an "extremely clear" response, and also named the Syrian Kurdish militia YPG as a target. The Kurdistan Workers' Party, which is based in northern Iraq, has claimed responsibility for Sunday's attack.
