Members of terrorist organizations will no longer have any relief in Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said March 30 during an opening ceremony in the southeastern province of Mardin which has suffered through months of curfews amid battles between the government and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), Hurriyet Daily News reported.
“From now on, no matter which organization they are affiliated with, no terrorist will have relief. They will either retreat from this wrong path that they embarked upon and surrender, or they will leave this country. Otherwise, we will throw them out of our country with our police, soldiers and village guards,” Erdoğan said in Mardin on March 30.
