ANKARA (AA) – Ten terrorists were “neutralized ” in an airstrike on PKK positions in northern Iraq, the Turkish army said Thursday.
Turkish authorities often use the word “neutralized ” in statements to imply the terrorists in question either surrendered, were killed or captured.
The air raid was carried out in Iraq's Avashin-Basyan and Zap regions, Turkish Armed Forces said in a Twitter post.
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 40,000 people, including women and children.
