Iran Press/ Asia: Turkey Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu, who reportedly inspected the construction works in the border area, told Anadolu Agency that the wall is 75 percent complete.
Soylu added that the wall is being established for Turkey’s security.
He added that every military operation carried out by Turkey in northern Iraq to tighten the screws on Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants, pushed them from Turkey’s southeastern border area to its eastern border.
The PKK, a militant group that is fighting for the autonomy of Turkey’s southeast, is listed as a terrorist group by Turkey as well as the United States and the European Union.
More than 40,000 people have been killed during the three-decade conflict between Turkey and the autonomy-seeking militant group.
