The ministry confirmed in a statement on Sunday that it will not allow the terrorist organization to destabilize the atmosphere of stability and security in the region.

She pointed out that the Turkish Special Forces thwarted a new attack attempt by YPG/PKK elements and neutralized 5 terrorists.

On October 9, 2019, the Turkish army, with the participation of the Syrian National Army, launched Operation Peace Spring east of the Euphrates River.

This is to cleanse it of the YPG/PKK and ISIS and to establish a safe area for the return of Syrian refugees to their country.

The Turkish army suspended the operation on October 17 of the same year after Ankara and Washington reached an agreement to withdraw terrorists from the region, followed by a similar agreement with Russia on the 22nd of the same month.
