ANKARA (AA) – The Turkish army “neutralized ” two armed PKK terrorists in a rural area in the southeastern province of Hakkari on Tuesday.
The country's armed forces said on Twitter that the two armed PKK terrorists were “neutralized ” in an ongoing air-backed operation in the Yuksekova district.
Turkish authorities often use the word “neutralized ” in their statements to imply that 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, including women and children.
