ANKARA (AA) – Five PKK terrorists were “neutralized” in airstrikes in eastern Turkey, the Turkish army said Thursday.
The Turkish General Staff said in a statement that Wednesday’s airstrikes targeted a base in Adakli in the eastern Bingol province where terrorists were preparing for an attack.
Turkish authorities often use the word “neutralized ” in their statements to imply the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.
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 death of some 40,000 people.
