Result[edit]

Source that supports the operation didn't succeed and it was PKK victory. ^[2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ferakp (talk • contribs) 15:01, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thats a wester/pkk biased source. Like I said many times, I'm talking and citing turkish sourced claims/facts. Gala19000 (talk) 15:31, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Where they say it is PKK source? The book uses source 31 and it is KRG source. KRG is Kurdistan Regional Government. Read the source again. Reverse your changes!Ferakp (talk) 17:54, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

on result of the operation and casualties[edit]

How come a full research done by a 2 universities is unreliable, yet some terrorists', who had lost this operation and couldn't conduct any more insurgency in the region for the next 3 years, claims are reliable? Idk what to tell you man, The quote from the https://books.google.com.tr/books?id=EOZjCAAAQBAJ&pg=PA328&redir_esc=y is referring to the entirety of the PKK, The operations main concept was to eliminate pkk members in the border and to disable them from raiding border stations. Turkey was successful in destroying the camps in the region and blowing out many many caves. Therefore, stating as if the operations intention was to completely annihilate PKK, and that they failed to do that, its just completely false. TRAVERA1 (talk) 17:29, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
