Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan makes the comments as Türkiye destroys 36 terror targets in northern Iraq following Sunday's attack in the capital Ankara.

Turkish Foreign Minister Fidan also warned third parties – without naming them – to stay away from PKK/YPG facilities.

"It is a known fact how clear Türkiye's stance is in the fight against terrorism. After this latest incident, as a result of the work carried out by our intelligence and security forces, it became clear that the two terrorists came from Syria and were trained here," Fidan told a news conference on Wednesday with his Turkish Cypriot counterpart Tahsin Ertugruloglu in the capital Ankara.

In Tuesday's air operation, Türkiye hit 16 terror targets in northern Iraq’s Metina, Gara, Hakurk, Qandil and Asos regions, said Nation Defense Ministry sources, speaking on condition of anonymity. The fighter jets took off from three different combat bases and simultaneously struck locations used by terrorists in various regions, including Asos, which is 140 km from the border.
