At least two soldiers have been killed and Turkey’s state-run TRT television
channel said at least 37 rebels have been killed in the clashes.
Kurdish rebels have been fighting for autonomy in Turkey’s southeast region
for the last 28 years and Kurds make up a sizeable portion of the
populations in neighbouring countries as well.
Turkish Kurdish rebels have established hideouts and bases in northern Iraq
and more recently have managed to seize a handful of towns in Syria.
The Turkish military has repeatedly targeted Kurdish rebel bases in northern
Iraq, and Turkey has hinted it would not hesitate to go after the rebels in
Syria.
On Thursday, Turkey and Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region warned that they will
consider any violent group that abuses a Syrian power vacuum a “common
threat” – a reference to Kurdish rebels in Syria.
“The new Syria should be free of any terrorist and extremist group or
organisation,” Turkey’s foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Iraqi
Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani said in a rare joint statement.
The statement comes after the pair held talks in the northern Iraqi city of
Arbil over the situation in Syria and reports that some parts of the country
had fallen to the Kurdish rebels.
“Any attempt to exploit the power vacuum by any violent group or
organisation will be considered as a common threat,” said Mr Barzani
and Mr Davutoglu in the joint statement.
The Democratic Union Party (PYD), the Syrian ally of the outlawed Turkish
Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), has allegedly seized control of several
towns along Turkey’s border with Syria.
