ANKARA (AA) – Four terrorists were “neutralized” during counterterrorism operations in the southeastern Siirt province of Turkey, the Interior Ministry said Friday.
Turkish authorities often use the word “neutralized ” in their statements to imply the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.
The ministry said in a statement said operations were carried out in the Siirt-Pervari and Yazlica-Herekol regions.
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.
