As a result of a bomb attack carried out by the terrorist Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) to a police vehicle, four police officers were killed in the eastern province of Mardin on Thursday.
According to initial reports, the attack took place when the bombs planted by the PKK terrorists detonated on the road.
Developments will be followed.
The PKK has resorted to acts of terrorism after radical terrorist group the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) detonated a suicide bomb in Suruç, a town in Şanlıurfa province, on July 20, claiming the lives of 33 activists.
The settlement process, which was launched by the government at the end of 2012 in cooperation with imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan to settle the country's long-standing terrorism problem and the Kurdish issue in its mainly Kurdish-populated southeastern provinces, has been brought to a standstill following the recent violence in the country.
