Türkiye is ready to bring “new nightmares” to those who are trying to bring the country to its knees with terrorism, vowed the nation's president on Monday, Paralel.Az reports citing Anadolu Agency.

“We're ready to bring new nightmares to those who think they can bring Türkiye to its knees with a Terroristan along its southern borders,” said Recep Tayyip Erdogan after chairing a Cabinet meeting in the capital Ankara, referring principally to the PKK, based across the border in northern Iraq, and its Syrian offshoot, the YPG/PKK.

“Issues concerning our borders with Iraq will be permanently resolved this summer,” Erdogan added. PKK terrorists often hide out in northern Iraq, across the border, to plot attacks on Türkiye.
