Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has reiterated his commitment to ongoing cross-border military operations targeting Kurdish groups, signaling potential actions in areas previously not controlled by the Turkish military. Speaking at a memorial event for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Erdogan emphasized the need to eliminate threats from what he deems terrorist organizations, particularly the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which Ankara links to the PKK. Tensions with the U.S. arise due to American support for Kurdish forces, complicating relations further amid Turkey’s military presence in northern Syria.
