[DAWN] Eight Iranian soldiers were killed in festivities with "terrorist groups" on the border with ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... on Friday, the official IRNA news agency reported. "This afternoon, during festivities between border guards and terrorist groups, the latter suffered several losses but unfortunately eight members of the security forces were martyred," the agency quoted Alireza Radfar, a deputy governor in West Azerbaijan province as saying, without giving further details. Friday's festivities took place in Chaldoran county bordering Turkey. On October 26, the authorities also announced the death of four "terrorists" in the county. Chaldoran country in Iran's far northwest is mainly populated by Kurds and Security forces in the Islamic republic often clash with separatists or terrorist groups along the country's western borders with Turkey and Iraq. |
