Ankara/Sputnik: Turkish forces on Friday "neutralized" 14 members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party and Syrian Kurdish Self-Defense Forces (PKK/YPG) in northern Syria, the defense ministry said.

Turkey uses the term "neutralize" to imply that militants either surrendered or were killed in action.

"Our special forces neutralized 14 PKK/YPG terrorists when they were trying to enter the zone of Operation Peace Spring," the ministry said in a statement.

In October 2019, Turkey launched the Peace Spring operation, seeking to expel Kurdish militia from Syrian border regions and create a "safe zone." Turkey has designated PKK and YPG as terrorist organizations.
