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.
