Istanbul, Jan 12, 2026 (AFP) — Recent deadly clashes in Syria's Aleppo were an attempt by Kurdish fighters to sabotage Turkey's efforts to end a decades-long conflict with the Kurdish militant PKK, the ruling party said Monday.
"The YPG/SDF terrorist organisation's attacks and the operation in Aleppo.. is an attempt to sabotage the goal of a terror-free Turkey," said Omer Celik, spokesman for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling AKP, referring to the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
