Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said on Saturday that Turkey's war against terrorist organizations will resolutely continue until they are totally purged from the country.

Speaking at the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) headquarters in the southeastern province of Siirt, Soylu said that they will not let terrorists put pressure even on the "smallest districts" of Turkey. "We are indicating that this country will be resolutely cleaned from all terrorist organizations - the PKK, the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ), Daesh. We do not care about Western opinion on the issue," he said.

The Interior Minister asserted that the PKK leadership in Qandil will not be able to take shelter in the mountains anymore and will "look for a place to hide." "I say to those in Qandil. ‘You will not survive until the spring. You will not able to stay there and threaten Turkey.' Daesh did the same thing, they threatened our borders. But now, our military forces are making great efforts there [al-Bab]. In past, we first waited to be attacked to defend ourselves. There is not such an option anymore. Now, we are on the offensive against all kinds of terrorism, as our president and prime minister instructed," Soylu said.
