MARDIN, Turkey
Turkish security forces have convinced one more YPG/PKK terrorist to lay down arms, a security source said on Saturday.
The terrorist surrendered to security forces in Turkey’s eastern Mardin province after persuasion efforts by police and gendarmerie personnel.
Identified only by the initials Z.O., the accused used the code name Zindan Amed since joining the YPG/PKK in 2015, said the source, who requested anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
He was wanted by Turkish authorities for being a member of an armed terrorist organization, it added.
