ANKARA (AA) – The Turkish army neutralized two terrorists during anti-terror operations in southeastern Turkey, the military said on Thursday.
Turkish authorities often use the word “neutralized ” in their statements to imply the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.
In a post on its official Twitter account, the Turkish General Staff said airstrikes were conducted on July 25 against PKK terrorists in Diyarbakir's Kulp district.
In its more than 30-year terror 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, including women and children.
