Turkey killed 2,000, mostly Kurds, in security operation: UN
The UN has revealed that over 2,000 people, including civilians, were killed in largely Kurdish-populated southeast Turkey in government operations during 2015-2016. The operations reportedly displaced around 5 lakh people, mostly of Kurdish origin. Notably, Kurdish population has been targetted since Turkey started a crackdown on the Kurdistan Workers Party, which it considers a terrorist group.
