Three more PKK terrorists have surrendered to Turkish security forces, the country's interior minister said on Friday.
The terrorists were operating within the structure of the PKK terrorist group in northern Iraq and Syria, Ali Yerlikaya said on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
A total of 32 terrorists have turned themselves in to the Turkish security forces over the past two months, he added.
