"The operations in Cizre have been successfully completed as of today," Efkan Ala told state-run TRT television, adding that the curfew would nonetheless continue a little longer, AFP reported.
Cizre, in Turkey's Sirnak province near the Iraqi and Syrian border, has been under curfew since December 14, when the army launched an "anti-terror operation" in a bid to root out the PKK from the town's centre where they had erected barricades and dug trenches. The army said Wednesday some 580 militants had been killed in the town since the operations started.
