Turkish warplanes hit on the Kurdish Workers party (PKK) following the militants attacked on Turkish military outposts, Turkish Media reported Tuesday.
The attack happened despite the resolute appeal of Obama administration to just focus on the international campaign to destroy Islamic State Militants. For the first time in almost two years, war between Turkey government and Kurds tightened up foreseeing a more complicated issue to convince Ankara to join the U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State.
Reports came out Tuesday while Pres. Obama and military leaders of over 20 countries gathered to foster cooperation against the Islamic military group.
Wreaking havoc in the Kurdish boundary Ankara was triggered to refuse in defending the Syrian border, town of Kobane against attacks of the Islamic State militant group."This is an operation that involves the world against ISIL," Obama stated.
According to reports, the Turkish airstrikes happened Monday highlighting the country's first major attacks against Kurdish rebels following peace negotiations for almost two years ago.
Based on media reports, Turkish strikes happened in reprisal for PKK attacks on some of Turkish military outposts. PKK units reportedly used rocket-propelled grenades and firearms to attack Daglica military posts.
After recurring PKK attacks in the area, and before possible air strikes were launched, "the military opened fire immediately in retaliation, in the strongest terms" The Turkish Chief of General Staff claimed.
There had been huge damages in the PKK territories, but there's no casualties reported. Hakkari province was also struck several times while Turkish troops and PKK militants had continuous battle in the Tunceli area Turkey on Monday.
Syrian Kurds in Kobani strongly refused speculation that Iraq Kurdistan regional government had already issued secret military aid to fight the ISIS. "We have not received any military aid from anyone so far," Idris Nassan, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Kobani administration claimed.
Nassan continued, the two terrorist groups are not combating against each other, they are attacking civilians. "The Turkish government must change its attitude."
