Turkey’s military carry out strikes on PKK terrorists
The pro-Kurdish Peoples Democratic Party (HDP) in Turkey officially submitted its list of candidates for a general election on November 1, following inconclusive polls in June. Since that time, the PKK has killed at least 120 Turkish soldiers and police.

These included his son-in-regulation Berat Albayrak (Esra’s husband), one of many president’s prime authorized advisors Burhan Kuzu and former inside minister Efkan Ala. On Monday, 16 Turkish servicemen died during a Kurdish bomb attack on a Turkish convoy.
