“The goals that were set at the first stage have been achieved ... We are determined to save our noble nation from the terrorist scourge that has plagued our country for 40 years,” Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said.

According to him, "the fight will continue until the last terrorist is neutralized."

As specified, special forces and air forces are involved in the operation.

In September 2021, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan named US National Security Council Middle East and North Africa Coordinator Brett McGurk as a "terrorist director" from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
