Baku-APA. Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said on Tuesday that his government was ready to support citizens in southeastern Turkey where an anti-PKK operation is ongoing, APA reports quoting Anadolu agency.
“Any kind of support will be given to all citizens affected by terrorism,” Kurtulmus said in a televised interview.
Kurtulmus noted that life would return to normal in the areas where the operations are ongoing.
Several towns in Turkey’s southeast come under curfew now and then as Turkish security forces combat the PKK terrorist organization.
The PKK - considered a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and the EU - resumed its armed campaign in late July.
Since then, more than 200 members of the security forces have been martyred and over 1,700 PKK terrorists killed.
