ANKARA (AA) - A terrorist surrendered to Turkish security forces in the country’s southeastern Mardin province, Interior Ministry said on Sunday.
In a statement, the ministry said the terrorist, identified only by the initials R.G., turned himself in in the Nusaybin district as a result of ongoing efforts to convince terrorists to lay down arms.
It said a total of 76 terrorists have so far surrendered to the forces since the beginning of this year.
