[Rudaw] Two members of Ottoman Turkish security forces were killed during festivities with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the southeastern province of Bitlis on Wednesday, the country’s interior minister announced.
Minister Suleyman Soylu said in a tweet that a member of the local gendarmerie and a village guard were killed in the Tatvan district of Bitlis province during festivities with the PKK. The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
is carrying out Operation Eren-11 in the area.
Four members of Ottoman Turkish security forces were maimed in the skirmish, Soylu added.
The multi-phased operation is named after 15-year-old Eren Bulbul, who was killed during a clash between Ottoman Turkish forces and the PKK in Trabzon province on August 11, 2017.
According to Ottoman Turkish media, Bulbul had spotted some PKK fighters in his hometown of Macka and informed the police, who accompanied him to the area where he was later killed. The PKK confirmed their involvement in the clash in Trabzon province but did not mention Bulbul.
Turkey blames the PKK for his death, and has cast him as a hero in their fight against the gang ever since. |
