Turkey's president says his country won't hesitate to launch a new offensive in northern Syria if Kurdish groups there go ahead with plans to hold local elections
Turkey will not hesitate to carry out a new offensive in northern Syria if Kurdish-led groups - which Ankara accuses of linked to outlawed Kurdish militants - go ahead with plans to hold local elections in the region, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday. A Kurdish-led autonomous administration that controls northern and eastern parts of Syria has announced plans to hold municipal elections on June 11.
“Turkey will never allow the separatist organization to establish just beyond its southern borders in the north of Syria and Iraq,” he said. Turkey considers the Kurdish militia group, known as the People’s Protection Units, or YPG, as a terrorist group linked to an outlawed Kurdish group that has led an insurgency against Turkey since 1984. That conflict with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, has killed tens of thousands of people.
