HAKKARI, Turkey (AA) – Turkish gendarmes captured two PKK terrorists alive in the country's southeastern province of Hakkari early Thursday.
The governorship of Hakkari said security forces were carrying out a counterterror operation in a village in Yuksekova district when the terrorists were caught.
It is reported that the gendarmes were backed by an armed unmanned vehicle in the operation.
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 some 40,000 people, including women and children.
