    Armed clashes between Turkish Army, Kurdish rebels



    Istanbul, August 14 (qna) -- Bloody confrontations broke out between
    the Turkish Army and Kurdish rebels in the north of the country,
    Turkish security sources said Thursday.

    According to NTV news channel, the clashes broke out when the Turkish
    Army began hunting down elements of the separatist Kurdistan Workers
    Party (PKK) in Gursun governorate, northern Turkey.

    PKK elements managed to escape through the country boarders to
    Armenia, it said.

    Meanwhile, NTV said reconnaissance aircrafts were monitoring the
    Kurds' movement on the borders with Armenia, confirming that vicious
    confrontations took place over the past few hours. (Qna)
