ISTANBUL, May 16
(KUNA) -- A Kurdish insurgent was killed on Tuesday
in clashes between the Turkish security forces and
Kurdish insurgents in northeastern Turkey.
A government press release said clashes erupted when
the Turkish forces opened fire on a group of
Kurdistan Workers Party members who refused to obey
orders, noting that the Turkish Army is still
executing operations in the area.
The Turkish government blames the Kurdish party for
the death of 30,000 people since the beginning of
Kurdish armed campaigns in 1984 to establish an
independent region in southwestern Turkey.
During the past few months, a score of Turkish
soldiers and Kurdish insurgents were killed in
clashes, while Kurdish gunmen planted bombs in
Istanbul that claimed a score of lives.
