It is worth noting that the Ministry of Interior launched a series of “ARN” operations after the “Thunderbolt” operations ended on January 10, 2021.
The Ministry of the Interior named these operations “Arn” after the Turkish young man, “Arn Bulbul”, who was martyred at the hands of PKK terrorists on August 11, 2017.
