The PKK terrorists will pay dearly for attacking the military convoy in Turkey's Batman Province, Turkish media reported citing the country's Vice-President Fuat Oktay.
Oktay underlined that the forces supporting the PKK terrorists, in and outside Turkey, will also pay dearly for providing this support.
The Turkish Armed Forces will not hesitate to respond, Oktay said.
In Turkey's Batman Province, four servicemen were killed and five were injured after an explosion hit a military convoy on Oct. 4.
The conflict between Turkey and the PKK, which demands the creation of an independent Kurdish state, has lasted more than 25 years, claiming more than 40,000 lives. The PKK is recognized as a terrorist organization by the UN and the EU.
