Turkey's state-run news agency says four terrorists and one soldier
were killed in clashes near the border with Armenia.
The Anatolia news agency says a soldier was also injured in Sunday's
clash in Kars province.
According to the sources, they were members of the outlawed Kurdistan
Workers Party (PKK.)
The group operates mostly in southeast Turkey but is also active in
other parts of the country.
The PKK, listed as a terrorist group by Ankara and much of
the international community, has been fighting for self-rule in
Kurdish-majority southeastern Turkey since 1984 in a conflict that
has claimed more than 37,000 lives.
