Ankara (IINA) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday that Turkey reserves the right to carry out every kind of operations at home and abroad against terror threats, Anadolu Agency reported.
“Turkey will use its right to expand its rules of engagement beyond [responding to] actual attacks against it and to encompass all terror threats, including PYD and Daesh in particular,” Erdogan said at a UNESCO meeting in Istanbul.
His remarks came after a suicide bomb attack in the Turkish capital Ankara on Tuesday that killed 28 people and wounded 81 others.
The Turkish government revealed that the Ankara attack was carried out jointly by a YPG member – a Syrian national – and PKK members.
“Nobody can limit Turkey in using its right of self-defense against terror attacks targeting the country," Erdogan noted in his Saturday's remarks.
He reiterated his country’s determination to “eliminate all the attacks targeting its lands, people, and unity, at their source if needed”.
