Baku â€“ APA. 32 terrorists from PKK camps in northern Iraq will surrender to the Turkish government on call of PKK leader in jail Abdullah Ocalan. 26 terrorists from Mahmour camp and 8 from PKK base in the Kandil Mountain will surrender to the Turkish border security at the Habur checkpoint on Turkey-Iraq borders on Monday, APA reports quoting Haberturk. They will be reportedly welcomed by the leaders of Democratic Community Party (DTP) and 100 000 Kuridsh people. The terrorists accompanied by 30 lawyers will leave the checkpoint directly to the prosecutorâ€™s office. They were reportedly not involved in any terrorist attack or other criminal action against Turkey. They will benefit from 221st article of Turkish Penal Code, which allows them to be released if they are not involved in any terrorist attach and other criminal action and surrender to the government voluntarily.

The surrender of PKK terrorists is part of Turkeyâ€™s plan elaborated under the intensive US patronage for solution of the Kurdish problem.
