Turkey's operations against the PKK terrorist organization in Northern Iraq continue. While discussions are ongoing about the possibility of new major operations to completely eliminate the presence of the terrorist organization across the border, a striking statement has been made. BARZANI: TURKEY HAS NO PROBLEM WITH KURDS, IT IS FIGHTING THE PKKThe Prime Minister of the Northern Iraq Regional Government, Mesrur Barzani, stated in his remarks that Turkey has no problem with the Kurds. Barzani emphasized that Turkey is fighting the PKK terrorist organization, saying, "Turkey has no problem with the Kurds. The problem is the PKK. It is fighting against the PKK, not the Kurds. The PKK must end the war and lay down its arms." HDP'S OFFICE IN ERBIL WAS CLOSEDMeanwhile, a striking development occurred in the first week of November. The Northern Iraq administration had closed the HDP's office in Erbil. Office employees were taken outside the city by security forces. It was reported that Hikmet Hatip, Aydın Yalvaç, Sıtkı Vakar, and Nasır Yağız, who were assigned to the HDP's Erbil Representation, were taken by security forces and removed from the borders of Erbil.
