Istanbul: Accusing Kurds of causing the bomb blast in Istanbul, Turkey has launched attacks in Syria and Iraq on locations with a majority of the Kurdish population. The Turkish defence ministry claimed the Kurds suffered massive casualties in the attacks. It is time to settle the scores, the defence ministry warned.
Six people were killed and 80 injured in the car bomb blast in the Turkish capital of Istanbul on the 13th of November. Turkish agencies held PKK, a local Kurdish organisation, and YPG, the Kurdish group from Syria, responsible for the attack. Turkey also warned to avenge the Istanbul blast by launching attacks in Syria and Iraq on organisations accountable for the blast. PKK, YPG and other Kurdish groups had dismissed Turkey’s accusations. On the other hand, they criticised Turkey for levying false allegations to find an opportunity to target the Kurds. However, with air strikes in Syria and Iraq on Saturday night, Turkey has made it clear that the action against the Kurds will not stop.
