According to Ozcan, the recent operation would not only destroy PKK's infrastructure and weaken its ability to launch attacks at Turkish targets in the spring, but would also deal a major "psychological blow" to the group, which has long enjoyed free movement in northern Iraq.
Prema Ozcanovim riječima, novom operacijom neće se samo uništiti infrastruktura PKK i oslabiti njezina mogućnost pokretanja napada na turske ciljeve na proljeće, već će se nanijeti i značajan "psihološki udarac" toj skupini koja je dugo uživala slobodu kretanja u sjevernom Iraku.
