Three terrorists neutralized last month in southern Turkey were on the country's wanted list, the Interior Ministry said on Sept. 21.
Cihan Erbaş, codenamed Hüseyin, Serhat Aykul, codenamed Ciğer-Amed, and Şefik Korman, codenamed Ali Norsin were in the grey category of the Interior Ministry's wanted terrorists list and sought with a bounty up to 500,000 Turkish
liras ($65,824) on their heads.
The wanted list is divided into five color-coded categories, with red as the most wanted, followed by blue, green, orange and gray.
The terrorists were neutralized in Hatay on Aug. 22 as part of the Operation Yıldırım-5 around Mt. Amanos, the ministry said.
Turkish authorities often use the term "neutralized" to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU- has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is the PKK's Syrian offshoot.
