Turkey and Iran have agreed to continue joint operations against militants from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party.
Turkish Interior Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that Turkish Gendarme Commander Arif Cetin and Iranian Border Forces Commander Qassem Rezai in a phone call discussed the joint operations.
Earlier this week Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey and Iran were carrying out a joint operation against the PKK, describing it as the first of its kind, but an Iranian source said Iran’s armed forces were not part of the operation.
