The Turkish Armed Forces have been placed on high alert in preparation for a possible military operation in Syria targeting militants of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), according to reports from the newspaper Türkiye, citing military sources.
Ankara has reportedly urged the new Syrian administration to take decisive action against the PKK, which it considers a terrorist organisation. While diplomatic efforts continue, Türkiye is preparing for all possible scenarios, including military intervention.
Troops stationed along the Syrian border have been mobilised as part of these preparations. Officials have emphasised that military action remains one of the options under consideration as Türkiye seeks to address what it views as threats to its national security.
