Why is Turkey attacking Kurdish militants in Iraq? | Turkey News | NewsRme

Using aircraft, helicopters, and drones, Turkey has recently ramped up military attacks against Kurdish militia strongholds in northern Iraq, particularly in the areas of Metina, Zap, and Avashin-Basyan. With strongholds in northern Iraq, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has undertaken assaults against Turkey for decades in an effort to obtain more autonomy for the Kurds. When Turkey initiated combat operations in northern Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War, the Turkish-PKK war erupted. It is part of a long-running Turkish operations in Iraq and Syria against PKK and the US-backed YPG force. Ankara views both organizations as terrorist organizations, despite the fact that the US and EU only identify the PKK as a terrorist organization. Abdullah Ocalan, a Marxist extremist who obtained backing in the Syrian government of Hafez Al Assad, founded the PKK in 1978.
