Baku, Azerbaijan, Sept. 27

By Rufiz Hafizoglu – Trend:

Turkey has prevented a big terrorist attack in the southeastern province of Van, Anadolu Agency reports.

According to the report, the police found a truck bomb during a special operation on one of the central streets of the city of Van in the province.

The report says the terrorist attack was planned by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

The conflict between Turkey and the PKK, which demands the creation of an independent Kurdish state, has continued for more than 25 years and has claimed more than 40,000 lives.

The UN and the European Union list the PKK as a terrorist organization.
