Turkey’s Ongoing Battle Against Kurdish Armed Groups

Turkey is intensifying its military operations against armed Kurdish groups, particularly the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), following recent attacks on a key defense company. The PKK, designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and the EU, has long sought greater autonomy and recognition for Kurdish identity within Turkey. This conflict has escalated amid Turkey’s efforts to secure its borders and combat perceived threats from Kurdish militants, who have been accused of targeting Turkish interests. As tensions rise, the Turkish government remains resolute in its stance against any form of Kurdish separatism.
