Five PKK terrorists surrendered to security forces in southeastern Turkey, according to the National Defense Ministry on Monday.
In a Twitter post, the ministry said: “4 PKK terrorists, who escaped from the [PKK’s] shelter areas in northern Iraq and Syria, have surrendered to our border post in Silopi [district of Sirnak province], and 1 PKK/YPG terrorist to our border post in Kiziltepe [district of Mardin province].”
