Turkish security forces
have “neutralized” nearly 60 members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party
(PKK) militant group in a string of artillery strikes and air raids
followed by operations by commando brigades in
Iraq’s northern semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.
The Turkish Defense Ministry announced in a statement published on
its official Twitter page on Sunday that 58 PKK terrorists had been
neutralized over the past four weeks as part of Operation Claw, which
has been going on since May 27 in the Hakurk region of northern Iraq.
The Turkish military generally uses the term "neutralize" to signify
that the militants were killed, captured or they surrendered.
The Turkish Interior Ministry said on Saturday that Turkish forces
had conducted clean-up operations in a rural area of the country’s
eastern province of Tunceli, neutralizing two PKK terrorists.
PKK militants regularly clash with Turkish forces in the Kurdish-dominated southeast of Turkey attached to northern Iraq. In this file picture, a group of Kurdistan Workers' Party

Turkey, along with the European Union and the United States, has
declared the PKK a terrorist group and banned it. The militant group has
been seeking an autonomous Kurdish region since 1984.
A shaky ceasefire between the PKK and the Turkish government
collapsed in July 2015. Attacks on Turkish security forces have soared
ever since.
Over the past few months, Turkish ground and air forces have been
carrying out operations against PKK positions in the country as well as
in northern Iraq and neighboring Syria.
More than 40,000 people have been killed during the three-decade
conflict between Turkey and the autonomy-seeking militant group.
