Following the failed coup attempt on July 15, the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) has been targeting the police officers who repulsed the putschists with huge public support.
A recent report had emerged that FETÖ had a cooperation with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) since it resumed terror attacks in the southeast last summer after breaking down a two-year-long ceasefire deal.
But the coupist group continues its alliance with the PKK, as all the terror attacks that occurred in the coup attempt aftermath targeted police officers and police stations that showed a strong stance against the putschists on the coup night.
Recent attacks in Trabzon, Bingöl, Diyarbakır Van and Elazığ unveiled once again the PKK-FETÖ cooperation against the State of Turkey.
Experts said the FETÖ terror group, whose members have been infiltrating Turkey's state institutions for more than 30 years, would not stop its anti-Turkey attacks, though it faced a huge set back during the coup attempt.
The group would try to draw Turkey into a civil war, Yeni Şafak's Editor-in-Chief İbrahim Karagül said on Thursday, adding the attacks would come from the southern part of the country.
The chronology of PKK's recent attacks shows it targeted the police headquarters and killed many police officers who were also on the FETÖ terrorists' hit list.
The Black Sea coastal province of Trabzon was the first target of the FETÖ-PKK alliance, as the group hit a security checkpoint on July 19, four days after the failed coup attempt. Three police officers were martyred during the attack and clashes followed the incident.
One police officer was martyred and two others seriously injured on July 24 when a group of PKK terrorists attacked a police checkpoint in the eastern city of Tunceli with rockets and long-barreled weapons.
A day after the Tunceli attack, the terror group, this time, targeted a police convoy in the southeastern province of Mardin. Three police officers were martyred when their armored vehicle was attacked by planted explosive on a roadside in Derik district.
On the same day, PKK terrorists threw hand explosives to a police checkpoint on the Erzincan-Erzurum highway. The terrorists had also opened fire on the police units and fled after strong response from the security forces. There were no casualties in the incident.
Two police officers were martyred in a car bomb attack on a police check point in the southeastern province of Hakkari. The attack on Depin police point, seven kilometers from Hakkari city center, also injured 11 people, including 10 police officers.
Seven riot police officers were martyred and four others injured in eastern Turkey's province of Bingöl, when an explosive-laden car camouflaged with the Turkish flag was detonated when a police bus was passing by.
This time PKK terrorists targeted a police vehicle patrolling the Edremit district in the eastern province of Van. The attack was conducted by exploding a roadside bomb while the police car passed by. There were no casualties as police detained five people related to the incident.
The PKK-FETÖ dirty alliance continue its anti-Turkey campaign in Diyarbakır. The terror attack at a regional auditing station on the Diyarbakır-Batman highway claimed seven people, including 5 police officers and wounded 20 others.
Three people were killed and 70 others were injured, including 17 police officers, when a group of PKK terrorists detonated a bomb-wired vehicle near a police station in the İpekolu district of Van.
Hours after the attack in Van, the PKK members staged another attack in the police headquarters of the eastern province of Elazığ. Huge blasts heard from all areas of the city as a large plume of smoke could been seen from remote areas. The powerful blast martyred three police officers and injured more than 140 people, including dozens of police officials.
