BBC: Turkey kills 70 Kurdish militants, vowing to prevent 'chaos'
Turkey will not allow Kurdish militants to create "chaos" in the cities of the country's south-east, PM Ahmet Davutoglu says.
Turkey says about 70 suspected members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and two soldiers have been killed since Wednesday in a major military operation against the rebels.
A ceasefire and talks to settle the conflict broke down in July.
Kurdish sources say 200,000 people have been forced from their homes.
Around 10,000 government security forces, backed by heavy weaponry, have been involved in the operation which centres on Cizre and Silopi, according to the military.
