ISTANBUL
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed the terror problem in the region in separate phone conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iraqi President Fuad Masum Sunday.
Leaders have held phone talks, presidential sources said, during which Putin and Masum conveyed condolences to the families of Turkish victims killed in recent terror attacks.
Turkey has had a bitter week with dozens of citizens dying in a wave of terror attacks.
On Wednesday, two police officers were found shot dead at their shared home in Sanliurfa's Ceylanpinar district -- an attack for which the PKK terrorist organization claimed responsibility.
A day later, another policeman was killed in a gun attack in Diyarbakir.
The same day, gunfire from Syria killed a Turkish military officer and injured two troops in southern Kilis province, prompting Turkish forces to return fire.
On Friday, another police officer was kidnapped as he was heading from Mardin to Mus with his family on the Diyarbakir-Bingol Highway, police said.
The country has started operations against Daesh and the PKK in northern Syria and Iraq.
Erdogan, describing Daesh as "a virus spreading all across the region", said Turkey would fight against all terror organizations to the very end.
He also stressed that fight against the PKK would continue unless the terror group brings an end to its terror attacks in the country.
Masum agreed, saying the violence the PKK instigates badly affects peace in the region.
The three leaders agreed that cooperation in combatting terrorism is significant, presidential sources added.
