Three Turkish soldiers killed in roadside attack
More than 200 soldiers and separatist guerrillas have died in the violence so far this year, according to a study carried out by a human rights group.The escalation has prompted calls from the army for a cross-border incursion into northern Iraq to deal with rebels based there.
Ankara blames the separatist organization for the deaths of more than 30,000 since they took up arms in 1984 to fight for a Kurdish homeland.
The European Union as well as the United States and Turkey consider the PKK a terrorist organization.
