The Turkish and Syrian armed forces will conduct a large-scale military operation against the militants of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) if the West makes new demands.

Axar.az reports that according to Huriyyet, President of Turkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that if the PKK-YPG does not lay down its arms, continues to insist on another administration in Syria, and if the Western countries present demands in this regard, then a large-scale military operation with the Syrian state will be inevitable.

However, the newspaper did not note what the West's demands are.

According to the report, Turkiye made efforts in Syria not for the PKK-YPG to continue its existence: "Now Ankara is implementing plan A. But plan B is also on the table."

It should be noted that Turkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had also stated that a military operation would be conducted against the PKK/YPG operating in Syria if they do not fulfill the required conditions.
