ANKARA (AA) – At least 10 PKK terrorists were “neutralized” in eastern Turkey, the country’s Interior ministry said on Saturday.
Turkish authorities often use the word “neutralized ” in their statements to imply the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.
The terrorists were “neutralized” during a counter-terrorism operation in Tunceli province, according to the ministry.
In its more than 30-year terrorist campaign against Turkey, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU — has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people.
