The attack in Ankara and claimed by the PKK has once again highlighted the tensions that persist in the region and the measures taken by Turkey in response to these attacks. Indeed, a few hours after the attack, airstrikes were carried out by Turkey against PKK targets in autonomous Kurdistan in northern Iraq.
These strikes, which targeted around twenty targets used by Turkish Kurdish fighters, demonstrate Turkey’s determination to fight against terrorist groups that threaten the security of its citizens. President Erdogan has also affirmed that the “scoundrels” will never succeed in achieving their objectives.
This response from Turkey is part of a broader context of the fight against terrorist organizations, notably the PKK, considered a terrorist organization by Turkey as well as its Western allies. The European Union has also expressed its solidarity with Turkey and condemned the attack.
However, this situation also raises questions about the future of relations between Turkey and the European Union. President Erdogan said he no longer expected anything from the EU, calling into question Turkey’s accession process to the European Union. A decision which could have consequences on relations between the two parties.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that the situation in autonomous Kurdistan is complex and that tensions persist between the different parties involved. It is crucial to find lasting and peaceful solutions to end this violence and promote stability in the region.
In conclusion, the attack in Ankara followed by Turkish strikes in autonomous Kurdistan raise many questions about security and international relations. The fight against terrorism remains a major challenge, but it is necessary to find peaceful solutions to establish real stability in the region.
