Turkey lifts second curfew in southeastern Cizre

A curfew imposed in Turkey’s southeastern Cizre town since Sunday evening has been lifted, an official statement announced Monday.

Cizre town is located in Sirnak province.

This was the second curfew imposed in Cizre since Saturday, where security operations against PKK terrorist organization members were on going still.

The curfew began at 7 p.m., local time (0400GMT) Sunday and ended at 7 a.m., local time (0400GMT) Monday, the regional governor's office said in a statement.

The second curfew came within 36 hours of the first one, which lasted eight days and ended at 7 a.m., local time (0400GMT) Saturday.

Turkish security forces have been conducting anti-terrorist operations around Cizre and other provinces to counter PKK attacks.
