You can read the details in Serkan Demirta??s story in today?s edition of Hürriyet Daily News; Turkey?s Incirlik air base is soon to become the hub for military operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) by the U.S.-led coalition of countries.

The implementation of a deal between Turkey and the United States in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has already started, as armed drones from ?ncirlik air base hit jihadist troops earlier this week. The next step will be the deployment of U.S. warplanes to ?ncirlik, from where they will conduct aerial strikes against ISIL. 

Turkey's army is welcome to attempt to destroy the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) but it is unlikely to succeed, a senior leader of the outlawed militant group claimed.

Five people, including a soldier, were killed while one police officer was seriously injured in attacks launched by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

Three people were killed while one police officer was seriously injured when police attempted to detain people in the southeastern province of ??rnak's Silopi district, prompting resistance from neighborhood residents that included reported members of the youth wing of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

Turkey is legitimate in defending itself against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), U.S. President Barack Obama has said, while stressing that an agreement between Washington and Ankara is "carefully bound" around the threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Syria.

The United States officially asked Turkey to stop its independent aerial strikes against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) positions in Syria until it actively joins an international coalition so as to ensure coordination between the Turkish army and coalition members. 

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has questioned the legitimacy of the Turkish Air Force's operations in Iraq, primarily against outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants, in an interview with Al-Ahram on Aug. 6. 

A civilian has been killed in explosion of a bomb planted by members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the eastern province of ??rnak, amid spiraling violence between PKK members and security forces across the country.

The Turkish Armed Forces has begun to deploy armed vehicles and tanks on the high hills in the southeastern province of Şırnak, while soldiers have begun regular patrols in the Turkey-Syria border region
