After the operation against ISIS in which three of our police officers were martyred in Yalova, MHP leader Bahçeli made statements saying, "No attack, assassination, or sabotage will deter us from our determination for a 'Terror-Free Turkey.' Our nation should be at ease; the root of the terror scourge will be eradicated from every direction."
In the operation in Yalova, 3 police officers were martyred and 8 police officers along with 1 guard were injured as a result of gunfire opened by ISIS terrorists.
MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, who made statements regarding the incident, said the following:
"In a period where the internal peace, security, and tranquility environment has strengthened with the goal of a 'Terror-Free Turkey', a new bloody provocation of the common enemy of humanity, the ISIS terrorist organization, has been staged this morning in Yalova by the puppet organization of Zionist-Imperialist treachery."
During the operation against ISIS terrorists, I regret to express that three of our heroic police officers have been martyred, and along with eight of our police officers, one of our guards has also been injured. I pray for God's mercy upon our esteemed martyrs; I wish patience and condolences to their honorable families, our Security Organization, our nation, and our country.
"WILL NOT SHAKE OUR NATIONAL DETERMINATION AND STANCE"
I wish health, wellness, and urgent recovery to our injured heroes. No internal or external sourced attack, assassination, or sabotage will turn us back from our rightful cause, our determination for a 'Terror-Free Turkey'. Especially, the assault on us by the known hostility front of the ISIS terrorist organization, which has been deployed as hired killers, will not intimidate our country and nation, nor will it shake our national determination and stance. The accuracy and historical significance of the 'Terror-Free Turkey' goal has been better understood.
"THE ROOT OF TERRORISM WILL BE ERADICATED"
A relentless struggle will continue to cleanse the sleeping or awake, dormant or active terrorist cells of ISIS, and no terrorist, traitor, or enemy purpose will be allowed in this sacred homeland. Our nation can be at ease; the root of the terror calamity will be eradicated from every direction."
WHAT HAPPENED?
In Yalova, security teams conducted an operation against the terrorist organization ISIS at a house on the road to Elmalık village, which is affiliated with the center. During the operation, our police officers were fired upon by ISIS terrorists. As a result of the attack, our police officers İlker Pehlivan, Turgut Külünk, and Yasin Koçyiğit were martyred. In the attack, 8 of our police officers and 1 guard were also injured.
Due to the presence of women and children in the house where the terrorists were located, the operation was carried out with great sensitivity. 5 women and 6 children present at the address were safely evacuated. In the ensuing conflict, 6 terrorists were captured dead.
5 PEOPLE DETAINED
Justice Minister Tunç stated regarding the incident, "5 public prosecutors have been assigned within the scope of the investigation initiated by the Yalova Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, and 5 suspects have been detained."
