ADNAN OKTAR: Turkey should wipe PKK out completely.

The army should lay siege to the region with two thousand tanks. The operation can be completed in 48 hours, the terrorists having been wiped out or captured as a result. The government can break the Stalinist siege there.

ADNAN OKTAR: The number of tanks in Turkey’s possession should be increased. We need at least 20,000 - 30,000 tanks, at the very least because tanks are required everywhere. Using tanks, you can enter an area and ensure its safety with ease.
