Topic: Hakan Fidan

Turkey launched an extensive military campaign against Kurdish militant bases in northeastern Syria following a PKK suicide bombing in Ankara. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan informed U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that all Kurdish Workers' Party positions are now legitimate targets, despite the U.S. downing a Turkish drone near American troops. The strikes have significantly damaged strategic oil infrastructure and pumping stations in the region.
