Türkiye continues to strike PKK and cornered terror group now rages its terrorism in countries that tolerated its activities for years, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Wednesday.
“Now that terrorist organizations cannot find a safe haven in Türkiye, they are seeking refuge abroad. Some of our neighbors and other countries have become preoccupied with solidifying their positions,” Fidan said during an Iftar dinner program in Istanbul.
Türkiye will never allow the establishment of a terrorist corridor stretching from Iraq to Syria, no matter who stands behind it, Fidan said, adding that the country has taken all necessary measures on every issue concerning national security and will continue to do so.
"We will not wait for permission from anyone for this. In the new era, in solidarity with our neighbors, with a spirit of regional awareness, we are determined to completely eradicate the scourge of terrorism,” he added.
