Twenty-one members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorist group were eliminated in Turkey during the past week as part of the operations against PKK, the Turkish Interior Ministry said in a message May 21.

During the past week, 388 operations were conducted by the gendarmerie detachments of Turkey.

The operations to eliminate PKK militants were carried out in the southeastern provinces of Turkey.

The conflict between Turkey and the PKK, which demands the creation of an independent Kurdish state, has continued for more than 30 years and has claimed more than 40,000 lives.

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