ANKARA /
Three Turkish journalists working for Anadolu Agency, allegedly kidnapped by PKK militanta for over 48 hours in Turkey’s southeastern Mardin province, have been freed.
Anadolu Agency correspondent Rauf Maltas (31), photojournalist Onur Coban (36) and cameraman Kenan Yesilyurt (26) were assigned last week to Mardin’s Nusaybin district to cover stories in the region.
The PKK — considered a terrorist organization also by the U.S. and the EU — resumed its 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state in late July 2015.
