President Erdoğan's 'condolence' message for our 6 martyrs

Erdoğan made the following statement on his official social media account:

I pray for God's mercy upon our heroic soldiers who were martyred in the attacks carried out by separatist traitors in northern Iraq; I extend my condolences to their families, loved ones, and our nation.

May the souls of our martyrs rest in peace, may their place be heaven, and may their rank be high.

The blood shed by these separatist cowards has been and continues to be accounted for in kind.

We will continue to implement our strategy of eradicating terrorism at its source with determination until the last terrorist is neutralized.

Turkey will not allow a terrorist entity in northern Iraq or Syria, no matter the cost.

We will absolutely not take a step back from our fight against these gangs of hired killers who act as subcontractors for imperialists.

Both the bloodthirsty murderers and those who support the separatist organization will sooner or later understand that there is no place for terrorism in the future of our region.

I pray to Almighty God for the success of all our security forces who do not give the terrorists a moment's breath, both within and beyond our borders.

May God grant our heroic soldiers victory.
