41 killed in clashes between Turkish army, PKK rebels during truce
2005-09-22
Eleven Turkish soldiers were killed and 13 others were wounded in clashes between the Turkish security forces and the separatists of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) within the one-month ceasefire period.
That worked well, didn't it?
Turkish Anadolu News Agency quoted security sources on Wednesday as saying that the terrorist organization is still executing attacks against the Turkish forces, noting that 30 "terrorists" were killed and two were arrested since the organization announced a one-month ceasefire between August 20 and September 20. The sources said that clashes between the Turkish forces and armed militia were focused around the borders with Iran and Iraq, noting that terrorist demonstrations in several areas in southeastern Turkey lead to the death of two Turkish citizens. Thousands of Kurds left their homes in southeastern Turkey, where 12 million Kurds live, due to clashes between the two sides, which killed 37,000 people since 1984.
