Gendarmes capture terrorists during operation in Hakkari province
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.
