'According to the Turkish Military sources 234 PKK and 24 Turkish Army soldiers have been killed'
The date of this news is yesterday. Today Turkish Army declared that the operation achieved its goals and its forces are pulling back.
...........
Assuming Turkish Military's figures are not inflated and 100% correct, asimple mathematics shows the following.
For Every 10 PKK guerrila killed Turkish Army lost 1 soldier. We can call it 10 percent.
Well for a regular army this is a big loss.
No regular army can continue fighting a guerrila force if its losses is around 10 percent.
Go on Turkish Army. Keep 'achieving your goals'. Another victory as such and you will be finished.
Go on Cemal Guven Asti admit that Turkey (I spelled it with a capitol cause I like the turks) tried to wipe out the Kurds. And you wonder why their children hate you...'Lunatic' in any language.
