PKK uses children as soldiers - Turkey

More than 2000 children are involved in the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party by deception and violence, TRT Haber TV channel quotes Turkish Interior Minister Idris Naim Sahin as saying.

According to Sahin, during the current year the number of PKK members declined sharply and now the organisation is trying to replace fighters with children and teenagers.

Despite the PKK's attempts to create chaos in Turkey, observations over the last few years show that the organisation has become weaker, Sahin said.
