Ankara intends to wall itself off from Iran in order to prevent attacks of Kurdish militants, Hurriyet Daily News reported with the reference to the Turkish authorities.




“The PKK (the Kurdistan Workers' Party outlawed in Turkey) has a lot of camps on Iranian territory along the border with Turkey. These camps house between 800 and one thousand Kurdish fighters. They cross the border, commit attacks in Turkey and run back,” – the newspaper’s source in the leadership of Turkey said.

To prevent this, he said, Ankara planned to build a 70-kilometer-long wall on the borders of the Turkish provinces with Iran, while watchtowers and metal fence would be built on the rest part of the border. Also, floodlights will be installed there.
