Prema riječima Ozcana, skorašnja operacija ne samo da će uništiti infrastrukturu PKK i oslabiti njenu sposobnost vršenja napada na mete u Turskoj na proljeće, nego će zadati i veliki "psihološki udarac" toj grupaciji, koja već dugo uživa slobodu kretanja na sjeveru Iraka.
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.
