Kurdish–Turkish conflict

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuoğlu has dismissed French President Emmanuel Macron's critique of Turkey's cross-border operation in Syria against YPG, the Syrian branch of the PKK, saying the French leader "sponsors terrorism."

At least 18 civilians were killed and another 27 were injured in a bomb blast in the Syrian city of Al Bab near the border with Turkey, Anadolu news agency reported.

Earlier, the Turkish Ministry of Defense reported 10 dead and 15 injured in the blast.

Turkey's Defense Ministry on Nov. 17 said that the YPG/PKK terror group released over 800 ISILprisoners of war in Tal Abyad, Syria. 

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reiterated Saturday his urge for distinguishing PKK terrorists from Kurdish people. 

The YPG/PKK was behind an attack in northern Syria on Nov. 16 which killed at least 18 civilians and wounded 27, said Turkey's National Defense Ministry.

A Turkish soldier has succumbed to injuries sustained in a YPG/PKK terror attack last month in Syria, the country's Defense Ministry said on Nov. 16.

Turkish security forces "neutralized" eight PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, the Defense Ministry said on Nov. 14.

Turkey said on Monday it had deported two captives from Islamic State - a German and an American - beginning a program to repatriate detainees that has caused friction with its NATO allies since it launched an offensive in northern Syria.

Eight civilians were killed and at least 20 others wounded in a car explosion attack by YPG/PKK terrorists in south of Tal Abyad in northern Syria, Turkey's National Defense Ministry said on Nov. 10.

Turkey found a mine warfare training and storage facility belonging to YPG/PKK terrorist organization during search and sweep operations in northern Syria, said the Defense Ministry on Nov. 10.
