ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Turkey’s defense ministry announced on Sunday it has concluded its operation on Duhok’s Mount Gara after finding the bodies of 13 Turkish citizens captured by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) six years ago.

The purpose of Turkey’s Operation Claw Eagle-2 was “to neutralize the PKK and other terrorist elements, ensure border security” and to confirm the whereabouts of “our citizens who were abducted,” Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said in a statement on Sunday morning.

Akar said they found the bodies of 13 nationals, 12 were shot in the head and one in the shoulder, and claimed they were killed by the PKK.
