Turkey ended military operation to Kazan Valley, national defense minister said.
ANKARA
Turkish National Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz said on Thursday that Turkey ended its military operation on Kazan Valley launched after a terrorist attack in Cukurca town of the southeastern province of Hakkari.
Yilmaz received Kosovo's Security Force Minister Agim Ceku in Ankara.
Replying to a question on Turkey's military operation, Yilmaz said, "Turkey ended the military operation on Kazan Valley but routine fight continues. Turkey keeps on its fight against terrorism."
Last week PKK terrorists attacked several targets in Cukurca, killing 24 soldiers and wounding 18 others.
Asked when Turkish unmanned aerial vehicle ANKA would contribute to combating terrorism, Yilmaz said that it would assist combating terrorism in the second half of 2012.
