Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has condemned a terror attack in southeast Turkey on Tuesday that killed a woman and her infant child in southeast Turkey.
"We will hold baby killers to account. We will make life unbearable for them. We will bring down their caves on their own heads," Çavuşoğlu said Wednesday on his official Twitter account.
Çavuşoğlu's remarks came a day after a roadside bombing by the PKK terrorist organization killed the wife and baby of a Turkish soldier in the southeastern province of Hakkari.
The bomb went off when a car carrying the civilians passed through the Yüksekova district.
The mother died on the spot, while the 11-month-old child succumbed to his wounds at the Yüksekova Public Hospital.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the death of some 40,000 people, including women and children.
