Turkish renowned Islamic scholar has said he is saddened over the death of Turkish soldiers in attacks by the terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Hakkari on Wednesday that killed 24 soldiers.

Fethullah Gülen said despite similar previous incidents and all intelligence gathering, openly tandem attacks as a result of lack of necessary sensitivity and measures, these attacks are a dark scenario played out over these territories.

Gülen expressed condolences for the slain troops and said he hopes people could tackle these problems.
