News Center- The Turkish authorities offer attractive salaries ranging between 2,500 and 3,000 USD to the mercenaries of pro-Turkey factions to fight against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the mountains of Kurdistan Region of Iraq, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Tuesday.

The number of Syrian fighters expected to join this mission is estimated to be nearly 400 mercenaries from “Al-Sulta Suleiman Shah,” “Al-Hamzah” Divisions and “Al-Sultan Murad” Division, the SOHR added.

 The SOHR said that its sources reported on Monday that “the Turkish authorities forced hundreds of fighters to fight as mercenaries against the ‘Kurdistan Workers’ Party’ in the mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan, pushing them to fight there in exchange for financial temptations, exploiting the harsh living conditions and the low level of salaries offered to the fighters by the ‘National Army’ factions.”
