Turkey has announced yesterday that it will restructure its intelligence and military operations. The announcement came after the weekend' attacks carried out by the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) in which 12 soldiers died and many were wounded.

The threefold strategy announced yesterday includes Turkey reviewing its current operations, intensifying cooperation with neighboring countries and working to build up the morale of the 'nation'.

“The fight against terror was widely assessed and in light of recent developments, additional short- and mid-term measures were decided to be taken,” said the statement released after a security summit chaired Monday by President Abdullah Gül with the participation of top civil and military officials, including the heads of the intelligence service and the newly established civilian anti-terror unit.

The first point agreed by the participants at the summit was related to the need of reviewing the intelligence-gathering operations and structure of the military personnel.

The second point was in relation to the need to seek more foreign support. This will be done by intensifying coordination with neighboring countries and others. Special attention will probably be given to the Kurdistan Regional Government.

The subject of more coordination would be probably discussed by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoðan if he will have the chance to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama during the G-20 summit in Toronto on June 26 and 27.

The third point agreed related to some kind of solid psychological “war” to keep up the nation’s morale. In the statement released yesterday it's written that “the media should be more sensitive in informing the public opinion.”
