Turkey to launch new operations in southeast Anatolia, says minister Soylu
Speaking at a meeting with village headmen in Turkey’s Samsun province, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu gave statements signaling new operations in Turkey’s southeast region.
Soylu said: “Those who got spoiled after reaching the %10 threshold on June 7 (2015 elections) had threatened, deceived, and took advantage of our brothers there and asked for their votes… Those who wanted to poison this nation’s unity by saying ‘we are going to run Southeast Anatolia from now on’ attempted to declare autonomy… Where are they now? In jail! If you are that brave, declare it now… Our people (security forces) are looking for them everywhere (in the region) and they run away like rats. We went to Lice. Just there, nearly 7000 of our children has started an operation. And, new ones will be launched within the following days. And, HDP came to the operation site with about 30 people talking about ‘human rights.’ We know who we are after there…”
