Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said Monday that Turkish security forces had prevented 85 terror attacks, 49 of which were suicide bombing attempts since January, Daily Sabah reports.
Speaking after the cabinet meeting chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Bestepe Presidential Complex in Ankara, Kurtulmus stated that Turkey has actively pursued an anti-terror strategy against the PKK, Daesh and other terrorist organizations threatening its unity.
"After rocket attacks across the border, we have retaliated in kind against Daesh targets in Northern Syria. Turkish security forces have accurately specified the exact locations of the Daesh terrorists and destroyed their positions," he added.
With deadly attacks by both the PKK and Daesh terrorist organizations increasing across Turkey, the Cabinet convened on Monday with a critical agenda to address, including the recent Daesh rocket attacks on Kilis.
