Air-backed operation targets terrorist group in Agri province

At least two PKK terrorists were "neutralized" in the eastern province of Agri on Sunday, according to the Turkish Defense Ministry.

The security forces carried out air-backed counter-terrorism operation in Agri, the ministry said on Twitter.

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 deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
