ANKARA (AA) - At least four armed terrorists have been neutralized in eastern Turkey, the Interior Ministry said Wednesday.
The ministry announced on Twitter that the terrorists were neutralized in an air-backed operation in rural areas of Bitlis province, as part of domestic security operations.
Turkish authorities often use the word "neutralized" in their statements to imply that the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.
The operations are ongoing in the region, the ministry added.
