HAKKARI, Turkey (AA) - At least four suspects have been arrested in eastern Turkey for spreading online PKK/KCK propaganda, police sources said on Thursday.

Anti-terror squads rounded up the suspects in Hakkari province, the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to media restrictions, said.

The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- resumed its terrorist campaign against Turkey in July 2015.

Since then, it has been responsible for the deaths of more than 1,200 Turkish security personnel and civilians, including a number of women and children.
