Some Turkish media have claimed that a senior Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) official has been assassinated by Turkish special forces.
On Thursday May 26, several Turkish media outlets reported that a group of Turkish special forces’ commandos, know as ‘Bordo Bereli’, have carried out an operation in Qandil mountainous areas and killed Murat Karayilan, the leader of the military wing of the PKK.
A source from the PKK, who spoke on restrict condition of anonymity, rejected the reports and said that these rumors aim to damage the morale of Peoples’ Defense Forces (HPG) guerrillas —an armed wing of PKK.
“There is no truth to the reports, and Karayilan is not assassinated,” said the source.
Kurdish Media has learned from other sources that the PKK policy is to keep its own guerrillas and the public in the dark about the death of PKK leaders and senior officials.
