(MENAFN) On Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed his stable stance against terrorism, promising to root out terrorists from his country's earth.
Talking at an inauguration ceremony of July 15 National Park in Esenler district of Istanbul, Erdogan emphasized: "We are always in terrorists' mind. We are burying them [terrorists] in the trenches that they dig and will continue to do so."
Turkey carries out anti-terror operations inside the country and northern Iraq to neutralize PKK terrorists.
In its over 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK - listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU - has been accountable for the deaths of approximately 40,000 people.
