Turkish Forces Kill 51 PKK Members

Since last Wednesday Turkey claims to have killed fifty-one members of the PKK.

Turkey says that twenty-five were killed in air strikes in Northern Iraq.

Fourteen areas were hit by the air strikes, including thirty-two living areas, three warehouses, and an anti aircraft gun.

Twenty-six were counted dead in the Semdinli district of the Hakkari province, when they engaged Turkish military forces.

Two Turkish soldiers were killed in the action there.

The PKK is a separatist group that wishes to form Kurdistan, an area that would take parts of Turkey, Iran, and Iraq.

They are listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU.
