PKK denies reports about launch of Turkish operation in Sinjar

The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) denies reports on the alleged launch of Turkey’s operation against its militants in the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar, PKK member Kawa Sheikh Mus said.

"At the moment, there is no movement of Turkish [forces] in the town of Sinjar, Nineveh Governorate. If this happens, we will respond with force to protect the Yazidis [a Kurdish religious minority]," Sputnik cited the party's member as saying.

On Sunday, Turkish media cited President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as saying that that the operation against the PKK, which is listed as a terrorist organization by Ankara, had started in Iraq’s Sinjar.
