PKK Supports Neither Turkish Gov't Nor Coup Participants
ANKARA (Sputnik) – Republican People’s Party (CHP) President Kemal Kilicdaroglu was left unharmed when his convoy was ostensibly targeted by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) fighters in the northeastern province of Artvin.

“Terrorists opened fire on a gendarmerie escort car, injuring three members, one of whom is in serious condition,” Ali said in remarks broadcast by the NTV news channel.

Ali said an operation was launched to hunt down PKK members who fired at the CHP motorcade near the village of Yanikli on the northeastern edges of the province.
