At least three PKK terrorists surrendered in Turkey’s southeastern Sirnak province thanks to persuasion efforts by security forces, local authorities said on Monday.

In a statement, the Sirnak governor's office said the terrorists, who escaped from the group through persuasion efforts of gendarmerie command and security directorate teams, surrendered to security forces in Turkey.

One of the terrorists was remanded in custody, while judicial procedures for the remaining two were ongoing.
