The Kurdistan Regional Government condemns the killing of 15 Turkish Soldiers

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) denounces the recent PKK attack on Turkish soldiers. Regrettably, late yesterday evening a PKK assault on a Turkish military base in the Shamzina region of southeast Turkey left 15 Turkish soldiers dead.

We condemn this attack and we express our condolences and sorrow to the families of the victims. We believe that such actions greatly hamper the efforts by all sides to build essential stability in the region, so that all parties can live together in peace.
