ANKARA (Sputnik) – Three Gendarmerie officers were wounded, one of them critically near the northeastern village of Yanikli when Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) members shot at Republican People’s Party (CHP) President Kemal Kilicdaroglu’s convoy.
"One of those wounded in the Artvin province attack has been martyred," Ibrahim Kalin said as quoted by the NTV broadcaster.
Kilicdaroglu was left unharmed in the attack, Interior Minister Efkan Ala said, clarifying that the separatists opened fire at the Gendarmerie escort car.
