Turkey: Police Execute Mass Arrests as NATO Backs Military Escalation

HeadlineJul 28, 2015

In news from Turkey, the police have detained more than 1,000 people in the ongoing crackdown on suspected militants from the self-proclaimed Islamic State, as well as members of the dissident Kurdistan Workers’ Party, known as the PKK. Meanwhile, at an emergency meeting in Brussels today, NATO offered support for Turkey’s escalating military actions, which include airstrikes against ISIL in Syria and attacks on PKK camps in northern Iraq. The New York Times editorial board has called Turkey’s assault on PKK camps a “dangerous development that will create even more turmoil in the region.”
