Operations against terrorists
Turkish forces use the term "neutralise" to indicate the terrorist in question either surrendered or was killed or captured.
In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, the US and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
