Four Syrian citizens, plotting a terrorist attack, were detained in Turkey's southern Hatay province, the Turkish media reported on December19.

Reportedly, the detainees infiltrated Turkey illegally.

Presently, the detainees' relations with Turkish citizens are being established.

The conflict between Turkey and the PKK, which demands the creation of an independent Kurdish state, has continued for more than 30 years and has claimed more than 40,000 lives.

The UN and the European Union list the PKK as a terrorist organization.
